Welcome and let me introduce myself! My name is Catherine Kolleth and I am dually licensed as a professional clinical counselor and a marriage and family therapist in Ohio. I have been in the profession for over 12 years, and in that time I have worked with a large variety of clients. I started working in a mental health residential treatment facility for adolescents, then worked in community health care, substance abuse residential treatment and private practice. Needless to say, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addictions and LGBTQ+ hurdles. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse heal and become healthier and embrace the happiness in their lives. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive, dialectial behavioral, systems, client centered and solution focused therapies, as well as any other therapeutic pieces that are appropriate to help you attain your goals. I will respect your unique and specific needs for treatment planning and goal creation, as you are the ultimate expert in your life. Finding the right fit to help you navigate your life challenges is very important for success and I understand that. I work with my clients to help them identify changes they want to make, help them find ways to incorporate these changes into their lives and help them problem solve when necessary. Change can be daunting, although very rewarding in the long run. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Melody and I have been in this field for 9 years. I have my Bachelor's in Social work and my Master's degree in Applied Social Sciences with a clinical focus. I went on to become independently licensed to provide counseling services in the state of Ohio. I have experience in many different areas working with individuals, children, and families. The areas I have the most experience in are issues relating to Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive disorder and assessing for the risk of Self-Harm and Suicide. During treatment I utilize a multi-dynamic approach by examining your support system, stressors, and other providers or professionals you may be involved with such as psychiatry, family doctors, teachers and other mental health providers. By assessing the impact these different areas have on your mental health we can explore solutions and improve management of your symptoms. I provide psychoeducation to provide insight into your current situation. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy to examine the impact your thoughts have on your functioning. We will utilize Motivational Interviewing to discover the inner strengths you do possess, as well as Trauma informed interventions. Everyone has experienced trauma and stressors at one point in their life whether they realize it or not. Identifying these events and how they have impacted you is another journey I like to take with clients. I hope to be able to help, and see everyone find peace despite their circumstances.
