Robert Egbert
I am an independently licensed therapist in Ohio who has been an active social worker since 1995 and have focused on providing individual adult therapy since 2011. The majority of my clients have been dealing with depression, anxiety, or functioning well in life issues including relationship issues often with co-occurring substance abuse issues. I've worked with couples on relationship issues both together and separately. I've had specialized treatment training using cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and trauma treatment methods. I have worked well with the psychiatrists I have been associated with. I believe in coming up with a good plan then doing what works. I am a good listener. I believe in helping people believe in themselves, build on their strengths, and not to worry about what others are thinking about them. I only work with clients who currently live in Ohio due to license restrictions.

Joanna White
My name is Joanna White. I received my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and worked in different capacities with the Prisoner Reentry population for many years. I made the decision to shift my focus and I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California simultaneously working with women and men experiencing Domestic/Sexual Violence. Working with these two different populations has helped me gain a perspective from an offender and victim/survivor perspective. I have years of experience working with people who have experienced trauma, specifically domestic/sexual violence, childhood trauma, and disordered eating; stress/anxiety; life transitions; parental concerns; work-related stress; and stress that life throws at us. I believe any type of change is a journey and my role as a therapist is to help guide you through your journey for what makes sense to you!

Jenna Van Houten
Hi! 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 inclusive to clinical internship). I have had successful involvement in assisting people to overcome and cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders; relationship needs, communication skills, and family or group conflict and challenges; general life adjustments; and in addressing the day-to-day "life-isms" that can sometimes 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 or impacted by substance use, legal involvement, family disruption and separation, multiple traumas, and otherwise. I tend to utilize an eclectic approach predominantly rooted in DBT, ACT, and CBT therapies while also strongly holding space to validate the life experiences that made an undoubtable impact on you along the way. I truly 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 frequently incorporate radical acceptance, authenticity and identity development; genuine connection; autonomy; and education into my practice. I believe that the first key to change is awareness... you have to know what it is in order to change it, and we have to GROW through what we GO through! I tend to take a more casual, conversational approach-- offering a blend of professionally trained and skilled mental health therapy with empathy, humor, and some degree of 'nerding out' to improve insight and help strengthen stability in sense of self.
