HI, I am Dr. Guy Rowinski, a licensed psychologist in private practice, in the state of Ohio. To my clients, and acquaintances I go by “Doctor Guy”. I earned my PhD in 2005 from Capella University and with my training and internships have been working in mental health for over 20 years. I work with individuals, couples, and I facilitate both a men's and women's encounter groups. My therapeutic approach is Client Centered and eclectic. I try to tailor the modality to the individual client, since everyone is unique, even though life issues are fairly universal. I take a holistic approach and firmly believe that our sense of well being is not just a function of problem/response. Our relationships, intimate, familial, social and professional are important. Our health and wellness, as well as spirituality are important. I love my work and try to make this come through when I am working with a client.

My name is Jenna and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor [LPCC] in the state of Ohio with 5 years of professional working experience (6 if you include clinical internship). I have successful experience in helping people overcome and cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders; relationship, communication, and family conflict and challenges; general life adjustments; and in addressing the day-to-day "life-isms" that impact us from being our best, most esteemed and comfortable selves. The majority of my experience has been with youth, young adults, and couples or families from high-risk populations, whether that be those struggling with substance use, family disruption and separation, legal involvement, multiple traumas, and so on. I tend to utilize an eclectic approach predominantly rooted in DBT, ACT, and CBT therapies while also holding space to validate the life experiences that made an undoubtable impact on you along the way. I believe that you are the expert of your own life-- no one will know you or know how to heal you better than you-- but I would be honored to walk next to you in support along the way. I incorporate acceptance, relaxation and mindfulness techniques, education (you have to know what it is in order to change it... you have to GROW through what you GO through!), and I tend to take a more casual or conversation approach.
