I am only accepting clients in these two states *** I earned my Master Degree in Clinical Counseling, specializing in Trauma, from the Youngstown State University in 2011. Over the past 13 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling is the connect and finding a counselor who truly understands you.

Whether you have experienced a trauma, major life changes, or dealing with anxiety or depression; I can provide you with SAFE, COLLABORATIVE, and EMPOWERING care you deserve. I have 13 years of experience in an array of settings, such as inpatient, outpatient, school systems, in-home, private and nonprofit settings.

Hello there! My name is LeAnn Taylor and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with in Ohio with over 10 years of experience working as an individual and family therapist. I have worked with clients and families with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems, relationship and parenting issues, as well as career challenges and substance abuse. I am also a certified trauma-focused therapist and have helped many people who have experienced physical, sexual and emotional trauma or abuse. My passion is for helping people through their most difficult times in life. When working with the clients I take a collaborative approach and treat our relationship as a partnership of growth and development. I believe that you must have a safe, open space to share and express yourself freely, as well as gain insight and realistic, yet positively communicated feedback without judgment. For many of the clients that I work with, one common theme and barrier when coming into counseling is feeling alone, unheard, and often unsupported, specifically by those who are supposed to help and care for them. They often feel stuck, confused or have trouble knowing what to do next, but express that no one understands their situation. Therefore, I strive to ensure that all people I work with feel included, respected, cared for, and listened to, most of all when they are expressing their feelings and deepest challenges. Exploring your thoughts and feelings in counseling takes courage and helps you tackle tough situations. Also, will help you to push past the pain of the present, to see the promise of your future. I am here to help you work toward change, face daily challenges and develop a positive outlook on life. I look forward to working with you!

Currently, my availability on BetterHelp is Mondays only. If more availability is required, another provider may better fit your needs. Welcome! My name is Enros, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I work with individuals (children, adolescents, and adults), families, and couples. I welcome all families, traditional and non-traditional. I am fully licensed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, and Vermont. My specialties include relationships, families, grief, and trauma. Additionally, as a military veteran, I have a unique perspective of veterans: separation, deployment, and the rigors of military life. I approach therapy as a collaborator, not an expert. I find the most joy in learning about you directly from you. Relationships are complicated, especially the relationships that are most important to us. Many of us feel the need for connection, security, and love. However, sometimes we end up hurt and alone. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression, or grief, among other things. I firmly believe that relationships, empathy, and humor are the most powerful tools for helping clients experience lasting change. My most significant reward as a professional helper is watching my clients go from despair to possibility. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker who will approach the challenges clients face using many different theoretical frameworks. What causes a lot of distress in people's lives often stems from a sense of feeling misunderstood along with a loss in personal agency. I will work to help clients identify and frame the struggles they face and then devise together a way to effectively address the issues that currently stand in the way of a contented life.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with over 20 years of professional and clinical practice. My experience includes helping adults cope with the challenges of life transitions that often include relationship issues, family conflict, parenting issues, and career difficulties. Within my practice, I have advanced training to support clients faced with new diagnoses or chronic illnesses, end of life issues, and stressors that come with being a caregiver. I believe that unresolved issues in any part of your life, regardless of its origin, can cause increased feelings of pain or discontent as you struggle to adapt and grow. It is the struggle that then presents as anxiety, depression, or other unwanted behaviors that prevent you from having the life you want. Identifying these sources will allow us to collaboratively work through them to heal, move forward, and create the life you envision. I work to always provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental space and unbiased listening. I use a psychoeducational approach to help you recognize what your mind and body are going through and discover real solutions for lasting change.
