Therapists in Steubenville, OH

Hello and welcome! I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist who has been in the mental health profession for over 15 years. I have a laidback and warm personality and encourage my clients to not censor themselves and to ask questions. I like to say that therapy is YOUR time. It is your time to vent, process and identify you needs, wants and goals. I thoroughly enjoy helping individuals help themselves. I offer a safe and open-minded environment to allow my clients to feel welcome and comfortable. I utilize a client-focused approach and strongly feel that is it imperative to focus on the client's immediate symptoms and needs. I encourage my clients to be who they are and reassure them that they do not need to censor their problems, emotions and needs. I am creative and considerate when choosing my interventions and open to hearing feedback from clients. I feel that being open to feedback allows me to better assist my patients by identifying their likes, dislikes and comfort level. My mission is to educate and empower humans, of all ages, about how to take care of ourselves and others; mind, body and soul. It is also to teach the importance of consistency, empathy and setting boundaries. Because consistency is calming; empathy is essential and boundaries are beautiful. I am here to help and guide you in whatever capacity I can. Please free to ask questions, I am here to listen, engage and help you help yourself. I enjoy working with clients ages 13 and up, providing assessments, individual and family therapy. I am absolutely committed to maintaining a positive rapport throughout the treatment process, so my clients feel comfortable providing me with the necessary feedback to help them move forward in therapy.

I am Norene Vello, I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Masters in Pastoral Clinical Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio and have been practicing 19 years. Life is a journey and at certain points, we all need guidance and direction to navigate the bumps and roadblocks along the way. We need fellow travelers to come alongside, to be present, to listen, guide and direct without judgement, criticism, or condemnation. If you allow me, I would like to be that person.

I have participated in and co-facilitated small women's groups for 18 years using Biblical principles, Spiritual Mindfulness, meditation, prayer, journaling, art, nature, music, CBT, Positive Therapy and Psychotherapy. These groups have addressed issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, abuse, and self-destructive behavior patterns. My focus in Psychotherapy includes the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of self because when one part hurts all parts hurt. We are spiritual beings with a need to belong, loved, accepted, and have meaning and purpose to maintain and develop a sense of well-being which, starts in childhood and continues throughout life. My goals in every session are safety, peace, well-being, health, contentment, healing and wholeness in God. I welcome the privilege of walking with you and alongside you if you choose to invite me.

Hello! Erwin McIntosh III here, but please call me "Mac." I have been in the helping profession for ten years now. I started out as a qualified mental health specialist and after getting my Master's Degree in Counseling Education, I obtained my License in Professional Counseling in the state of Ohio in 2015. In January of 2021, I became a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio which means that I became an independent counselor. I have worked with a many Clients in a variety of settings including adults in nursing homes, residential homes, and parents of school aged children. I apply motivational interviewing as a foundation for the integration therapy that I utilize to help Clients heal using Person-Centered approach, explore their choices to improve them using Reality Therapy, examine their self-view to improve self-esteem using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and finally address the need to develop peace, mindfulness, and acceptance using Peace and Mindfulness techniques. By helping the Client heal from trauma, we open the door to new positive thoughts, a new positive mood, and a new outlook which leads to new positive choices. You learn that there is more to your life than the trauma you endured which leads to more balanced self-view and world view. Decisions can now be made from a broader framework based on hope, not pain from a past left behind physically but not mentally or emotionally. "We have to let go of what was, to enjoy what is." "We can't accept new love, if we are clutching to old pain." If you will permit me, I will use empathic listening, motivational interviewing, and integration therapy to help you heal and learn to love yourself.

Human beings are very dynamic and have unlimited potential to heal and grow.

I take pride in guiding you in your journey of gaining insight and self-love to help you live a joyful well-balanced life. I have extensive experience in working with adults who are struggling with symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, BPD, etc. "We can learn something new anytime we believe we can" - Virginia Satir.

I’ve dedicated my career to helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, connection, and evidence-based care. My journey in mental health began as part of a home-based therapy team, where I specialized in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). This experience allowed me to guide families in strengthening their bonds and developing effective parenting strategies. Later, I transitioned to an early childhood mental health team, where I trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), a trauma-focused approach that helps children and caregivers heal together. Over the years, my work has expanded to include a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Existential Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Family Systems Therapy. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and families in diverse settings—from providing intensive home-based therapy and crisis intervention to supervising clinicians and leading mental health programs. Currently, I own and operate my own counseling and consulting practice, where I provide therapy, professional trainings, and business development support. Previously, I served as a Program Manager for Maternal Mental Health within a public health organization, overseeing clinical programs to ensure high-quality care, compliance, and continuous improvement. Before that, I worked as a Clinical Supervisor for a nonprofit mental health agency, providing guidance to clinicians, facilitating training, and ensuring effective service delivery. I know that seeking help isn’t always easy, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and valued. I believe deeply in the power of relationships and the incredible capacity for growth and change within each individual. Whether working with children, caregivers, or fellow professionals, my goal is always to foster connection, understanding, and meaningful transformation. If you're looking for support, guidance, or just a place to be understood, I’m here to help.
