Online Therapy
I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology and masters in social work, I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependence Counselor. I like to help anyone find solutions to their problems, manage difficult feelings, and reach their goals. I also enjoy helping both youth and adults increase communication. I use a variety of therapy techniques including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, gestalt, and psychodynamic primarily. I generally do what I can to help clients reach their treatment goals. I am an independently licensed clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor. I’ve provided therapy to a variety of mental health and substance problems for people ages 12-75. I enjoy helping people figure out the underlying obstacles to growth and success. I come alongside each client and we work together to explore the known and unknown, identify barriers, problems, and solutions, and set goals for the future. I’m not judgmental, I do my best to understand and encourage each person I work with. We are in this together! I believe that problems come from a variety of sources, sometimes our upbringing teaches us, sometimes thoughts influence what we do, and sometimes we have beliefs that aren’t in alignment with our goals. I believe we can change behavior if we change thoughts and beliefs. I believe everyone wants to live a better life, whatever that is for each of us. I also believe that two are better than one, which is why it’s so helpful to have an outside perspective! In my free time, I enjoy backpacking in the mountains, traveling, and making videos of the trips. I’m always ready for a fun adventure!

Joshua Werblin

MD
Online Therapy
Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness. My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem. I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later. My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants. Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges. My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.

Anthony J. Koch

DNP, ARNP, PMHNP-BC, RN
Online & In-Person
Hello! I'm a passionate and experienced Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) running my own private practice, Feel Better & Co., since January 2024. My journey in healthcare has taken me across various roles and locations, allowing me to gain diverse experience in both mental and physical health care. I started as a Registered Nurse, working in renowned institutions like the Cleveland Clinic-Akron General, and took on travel assignments in California, Virginia, Washington DC, New Jersey, New York, and even Hawaii. I’ve worked in Med/Surg Telemetry, stepdown units, ICU, and on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of patient care and the varied needs across different healthcare environments. I advanced my career with a Master's focused on psychiatric and mental health and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice. As an NP, I’ve worked across Washington, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Ohio, serving patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings, from community health centers to psychiatric units and urgent care. Currently, I provide telehealth services in California and Washington, making mental health support more accessible. I also have the pleasure of working alongside the wonderful therapy group, Empower, in Poland, Ohio, where we collaborate to provide comprehensive and compassionate care. My approach is always centered on you, the patient. I believe in taking the time to understand your unique story and creating a care plan that truly fits your needs. I'm here to help you on your journey to better mental health and well-being. Let’s take that first step together

Ashley Collins

Ashley Collins, APRN, PMHNP-BC, MSN
Online Therapy
Hello, I’m Ashley Collins. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I offer holistic mental health care for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My approach combines therapy, lifestyle changes, and nutrition to foster resilience and help each child face challenges with strength. I am especially experienced in supporting children affected by trauma and working with military families navigating the stresses of military life. My care philosophy is rooted in finding and addressing the root causes, not just managing symptoms, and I use parent coaching, nutraceuticals, and metabolic health assessments to support lasting well-being. As a mother of two with personal experience in anxiety and ADHD, I understand the complexities families face. If you’re seeking a practitioner who prioritizes listening, empathy, and personalized care, let’s explore how we can work together to help your child thrive. I’m currently accepting new telehealth patients in Ohio and Oregon. Treatment philosophy: My philosophy centers on holistic care—addressing the whole child rather than just symptoms. Traditional psychiatry often focuses narrowly on managing symptoms, while I integrate nutrition, lifestyle, and therapeutic interventions to uncover and treat root causes. This approach fosters resilience and a healthier mind and body, reducing the need for medication where possible. My goal is to build lasting well-being through individualized, compassionate care.
