For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Everyone needs a little help sometime.  The human condition is filled with difficult passages, but attending therapy can break the isolation that oft comes with psychic pain. With the right treatment,  therapy fosters Coping mechanisms, and positive change. It does not have to be a long term endeavor, many clients get to a better place within 6 months.  Remember…Mental health challenges are largely treatable.  

I am a LICSW with over 20 years of experience.   My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to feel seen and heard. From this foundation, we can assess your current situation and develop concrete skills to help Improve your well being. 

Reaching out is sometimes the hardest part! Therapy is what you make of it. Each therapist is unique in their way of providing therapy. If you go to one and do not like it, try a different therapist and it may be just what you are needing. For me, I try to make clients feel comfortable as if they were talking to a good friend.

Hello! Welcome to Waves of Motherhood...a safe, therapeutic space for all mothers to share the joys and challenges of being Mom.

We take the scariness away by offering a discounted initial consultation. For a few bucks, you can decide if you want to invest in yourself, with us. The benefits with our private pay system are that we don't have to label you with a diagnosis. We don't have to end our relationship with you within X sessions because insurance says "you're done for this year, apply for more visits next year." Instead, it is just you and the clinician working through the challenges together. Think of this as a time to connect and feel heard. We're here to help you improve your life.

I'm the founder and CEO of Thera-Fi. Our team of licensed professionals offer discrete therapy online to clients anywhere in Ohio. I was tired of seeing clients turned away because of insurance issues (you only get X number of approved visits, surprise bills hitting clients, forcing a diagnosis on someone). I was also tired of seeing facilities gouge clients at $250 an hour and burn out their clinicians. My job is to keep the clinicians focused on providing the best service to you as possible so that you leave with a new focus. Balance is the key to living a good life. If you think so too, then come check us out.

It all starts with one step. Once you take the first step you will find that it will become easier to make the next in an effort to improve your mental wellbeing.

Yolanda has a MA in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Trauma and Crisis Intervention. She is currently enrolled in her PhD program in psychology. She has had the privilege to work in a respected network of mental health professionals leading in their field. They combine science and faith for the benefit of diverse populations, on top of working with children, adolescents, teens and adults. Yolanda uses a different approach because she believes each client is an individual and therefore their therapy should be individualized. She believes that the foundation for successful therapy is providing a non-judgmental therapeutic environment.

My calling is to be the source of calm in your life. I have worked with individuals struggling with negative thought patterns, doubt, stress, and anxiety. My passion is helping you become renewed, restored, and actively engaged in life again. Are you ready to take the first step? Contact me to schedule your first session today!

My name is Tina Marie Suarez. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling focusing in Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Telehealth Practitioner, and National Certified Counselor. My approach to working with clients starts with compassion in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. Helping you acknowledge your present, set realistic goals, holding you accountable toward meeting these goals, and watching you thrive are key.

While it takes a great deal of courage to begin and participate in therapy, I think staying stuck in unhealthy and often times destructive patterns feels worse.

I offer a unique style—a blend of insight-oriented, practical problem solving and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients achieve their goals.  

No one knows you better than you; your experiences, challenges, strengths, etc. We all face difficulties in life, so it is ok not to be ok. However, it is not ok to stay there. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who is nonjudgemental, genuine, empathetic, and willing to listen, and one who won't put your business on Front Street. As your therapist, I won't give you false hope and tell you changes will be seen after the first, second, or even third, session. It's going to take work and you have to be a willing participant. Now, take control of your life and love yourself! You got this!

I'm an LPC-A, NCC and graduate of West Virginia University with a dual MS degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling.

The decision to start therapy isn’t always an easy one, and you’ve already accomplished one of the hardest parts: starting the process. The process of finding a therapist can also be a bit daunting, and finding someone that is a good match for you is essential to your success. Naturally, you may feel a little nervous or uncertain at first, and that is okay! I am here to answer any of your questions and make the process less intimidating. If you are like many, we repeat the same patterns and get frustrated that they do not bring the results we want. Simultaneously, we’re often afraid to change – afraid to upset our lives and families, afraid to let people down, afraid of being judged, and afraid of the unknown. And there are times that even when we are ready to change, we simply don’t know what to do. This is where I come in. I am empathic and dedicated to supporting you as you navigate through whatever challenges and struggles that have led you to this place of insight, growth, and change. I don’t tell you who to be; I empower you to show the world who you really are!

Each individual is unique and I understand that. One-size-fits-all approaches will never help you reach full potential. You are one-of-a-kind and together we embrace your challenges and seek the best ways to navigate and move toward a healthier and happier version of you. I am trained in a wide variety of theoretical models and intervention techniques to help facilitate your becoming the best version of yourself. I am passionate about helping people identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep them from living to their fullest. Together we implement evidence based approaches based on the goals and uniqueness of you. I utilize psychotherapy, mindfulness, sport & performance skills, neurofeedback, expressive arts therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy. You don’t have to feel the same tomorrow as you do today. There are many ways in which less than ideal patterns can be changed. Find a path to a better you, no matter your age, background or history – there’s opportunity for a better you!

Motivational interviewing is one of the techniques that I utilize. Thus, we work at your present stage of motivation. So, if you are contemplating a change, we may discuss the pros and cons of that change rather than suggesting a specific recommendation. Collaboration, respect, feedback, and unconditional regard are important.

Crisis is an opportunity for growth. With the COVID Pandemic, there is an option for mental and physical transformation. Change is possible. Working collaboratively, we develop a plan to meet your needs. My specialities include trauma, depression, anxiety, and communication.

So, so many things! Firstly, please disregard almost everything you've ever seen or heard on tv about therapy. Therapy is a joint effort between a therapist and the client to identify problematic thinking, feelings and behaviors and learn ways to make things better. There are as many ways to do that as there are therapists and you must find a therapist you like, otherwise, it will not work. You will get what you put into therapy, so if you work hard, try new things (which can be very uncomfortable sometimes) and remain open-minded, you will improve. Therapy takes time, so don't expect a quick fix. I truly believe therapy works and people can recover. That's why my business is called "Recovery Works." It also has that name because a person needs to work at their recovery. As a therapist, I believe it is important to work WITH my client to identify goals and take steps to achieve them. I do not work ON my clients to change them into what I think they "should" be. Please, don't expect your therapy to be a quick fix if you are trying to correct a long-standing issues. Please be patient with yourself during the process and know that not all days will be great, but you will make progress as time goes by if you use what you've learned in session and practice in the real world.
