Individual Counseling

Counseling is a collaborative process that can help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

Whether you're facing a specific concern or simply feel like you need someone to talk to, counseling can provide a supportive space to explore what you're experiencing and work toward meaningful change.

Anxiety & Stress

Persistent worry, racing thoughts, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty relaxing, and chronic stress can affect many areas of life. Counseling can help you identify sources of stress, develop coping strategies, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build confidence in managing difficult situations.

Depression

Depression can affect mood, motivation, energy, self-worth, relationships, and everyday functioning. Counseling can help you explore contributing factors, improve daily functioning, increase engagement in meaningful activities, and develop strategies for navigating difficult emotions.

Trauma

Past experiences can continue to affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, and feelings of safety long after an event has passed. Counseling can provide a supportive environment to explore difficult experiences, develop coping strategies, and work toward reducing their ongoing impact.

Emotional Regulation

Intense emotions such as anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt, or frustration can sometimes feel difficult to understand or manage. Counseling can help you increase emotional awareness, recognize triggers and patterns, and develop practical strategies for responding rather than reacting.

Life Transitions

Changes such as divorce, career changes, relationship shifts, parenting challenges, loss, or entering a new stage of life can create uncertainty and stress. Counseling can provide support while you adjust, better understand what these changes mean for you, and determine how you want to move forward.

Relationship Concerns

Relationships can be affected by communication difficulties, conflict, boundaries, trust, and changing needs. Counseling can help you better understand relationship patterns, improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and navigate interpersonal challenges.

Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence can influence how we experience attention, organization, communication, emotions, relationships, and everyday life. Counseling can provide space to better understand these experiences, identify strategies that work for you, and build on your strengths without reducing who you are to a diagnosis or label.

Personal Growth

Counseling isn't only for times of crisis. You may want to increase self-awareness, build confidence, clarify goals, strengthen relationships, or simply better understand yourself and continue growing.

Counseling begins with an initial assessment where we'll discuss what brings you to counseling, your background, and what you would like to work toward. You don't need to have your goals figured out before your first appointment. We'll develop them together.

My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life and should have an active voice in the direction of counseling.

My role is to listen, help you explore experiences and patterns, offer support, and introduce strategies that may help. Together, we'll work toward goals that are meaningful to you.

Telehealth

Telehealth counseling is available throughout Ohio using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

You'll receive information for joining your appointment electronically before your scheduled session.

For privacy and confidentiality, I encourage you to participate from a private location with a reliable internet connection whenever possible.

In-Person (Coming Soon)

The Supportive E.A.R. Counseling currently provides services through telehealth. In-person counseling is planned for the future, and information will be added here when it becomes available.

Individual counseling may be covered by insurance depending on your plan and benefits. Private-pay options are also available.

Insurance coverage and payment options will be discussed before beginning services so you understand any expected costs.
