Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Weston, OH covered by Cigna

Hey, I'm Phil! I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to show up as yourself. I support adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity, and challenges with food, body image, and self-worth. I'm passionate about LGBTQ+ affirming care and helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We'll explore what's beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that fit your life. Therapy doesn't have to feel like a clinical interrogation. You can expect genuine conversation, curiosity, and support as we work toward meaningful change together.

Hello, My name is Josh Kale. I am licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in northeastern Ohio. I have a background in clinical mental health, art therapy and experience working with children, adults and seniors. I approach therapy in a way that is friendly, welcoming and creative.

To enrich and gain enhanced satisfaction in their lives. My goal is to walk alongside you as you create meaningful and lasting change.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.

What should someone know about working with you?

I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.

How do you continue learning and building new skills?

I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.
