Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

I most enjoy working with college aged students and adults on a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, disordered eating and body image, life transitions, and perfectionist tendencies. My ideal client is someone who is ready to get to work and motivated to change. They also might describe themself as a people pleaser or a person who cares for others before caring for themself.

Do you feel worthless, not good enough and insecure? To everyone else you may appear happy & have yourself together. If they only knew how much strength it is taking for you to put a smile on your face each day. You look in the mirror & think you don’t deserve happiness, because all you are used to is disappointment & pain. You experience a sharp tightness in your chest & it feels like a ton of bricks weighing you down. Your mind seems cloudy due to your thoughts racing, screaming at you that you’re not good enough. You blame yourself for your past & feel you deserved being hurt. You don't feel beautiful and fear steps in your way.

Are you struggling with maintaining your sanity as a wife, mother and caretaker? Or are you just someone who needs clarity on what your needs really are? While sometimes it is difficult to understand your own needs, therapy is a way to maintain your self care, learn how to gain better understanding and communicate your needs and feelings, to help you address barriers to healthy relationships and accomplishing personal goals.  As a therapist I have over 10 years of experience in helping adults and adolescents identify their own needs and collaborate to help them recognize how to improve upon those barriers.

My ideal client are women who are highly motivated and ready to make a change so they can live their very best life! Change can be hard but I believe a strong, therapeutic alliance and supportive environment will help put you on the path to living a more meaningful life. I am particularly passionate about helping women navigate life challenges and relationship difficulties so they can live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I combine my experience, knowledge and personalized approach to help you meet your goals and overcome many of life's obstacles. My job is to empower you to live your very best life!

Welcome! I am a dedicated counselor-in-training, passionate about fostering personal growth and empowerment through the lens of Person-Centered Therapy enriched with a feminist perspective. With a genuine commitment to supporting individuals in navigating life's challenges, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing ultimately to help individuals create positive change in their life.

I believe in utilizing therapy as an opportunity to assist individuals, couples, and families in acknowledging and overcoming barriers to healing and change. I create an authentic, collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients are able to address areas in life that aren't working (anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, painful experiences); to explore and resolve the internal and relational barriers that limits healing and personal growth; and to create an action plan that empowers clients to live out their full potential.

My areas of focus include treating adolescents & adults with anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. I am very passionate about helping my patients overcome guilt, shame and self-esteem issues. I incorporate a lot of DBT skills into sessions, helping patients build distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal communication skills - along with how to apply these skills to their life. I help couples work on communication, validation and empathy as a starting point to resolve their conflict. I'm a believer in the value of developing a structure, schedule and routine to help build a life worth living.

Let's face it, life can feel really dark at times. Everyone struggles with unwanted thoughts and feelings that seem to plague them. Everyone struggles with relationship conflict at some point in their lives. Most people believe that they are alone in their struggles, and they often believe that there is no answer and no way out. All of us want happy and peaceful lives with safe and nurturing relationships, but we often don't know how to create this kind of life. The good news is that these things are within your reach, if you are willing and ready to work hard to challenge yourself.

My name is Megan Burden I ‘m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a certified addictions Counselor. I’ve been a therapist for 5 years and absolutely love what I do. I’ve worked with teenagers overcome addictions, families evolved with children's services, first responders, young adults going off to college and become successful, and young adults overcome depression, major trauma, PTSD, self-esteem/ self-worth, human trafficking, relationship struggles, and anxiety.

I am an LPC under the supervision of Carla Seemann, LPCC-S, E.2572. I use an authentic, compassionate, yet solution-focused and hands-on perspective to help with issues such as anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, sexual compulsion, obsessive tendencies, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, spiritual concerns, among others.

My approach is first to give time and room for me to learn about you. I do this by understanding you as a unique individual, learning about your culture, life roles, beliefs, values, passions and priorities. I then join you to approach your concerns through those worldviews as the foundation. I use an eclectic approach utilizing therapies such as art therapy, CBT, Rational emotive behavioral therapy & Motivational Interviewing. I also enjoy working with clients who desire to incorporate a Christian worldview into their sessions.

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who has worked with a wide variety of individuals and groups. My focus is to provide individual counseling for children, teens, and young adults with mental health disorders, trauma, addiction, and eating disorders. When working with a patient, I take a strengths-based approach with a Christian foundation while utilizing several modes of interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and positive psychology.

Self-worth. The common denominator is low self-concept and low self-esteem that was not established or through adversity, trauma, violence, and/or abuse was severely damaged. The client wants to end the emotional and psychological pain of existing. Connection, structure, and consistency are the tools that aid in healing. Living and thriving become possible when we add options and perspective.

Is your thought life helping you are hurting you? Are there challenges from your past that are still impacting your present relationships, view of your self, or hindering your ability to see a happy healthy future for your self? If you are struggling with issues related to depression, grief, addiction, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, a transitional time in your life, or spirituality concerns, I'd be happy to help you heal, engage in the process of becoming your highest self, and begin to operate in purpose.

You’re insightful, high-achieving, and place value on your health, relationships, & personal growth. Things are good, but you know they can be better. You've been in therapy before & come as far as you can "just talking about it." You’re ready to dig deeper & experience profound change. I work with clients to treat underlying causes of anxiety, low self esteem, trauma and PTSD, sexual dysfunction, & relationship concerns. I love facilitating this process with Intensive EMDR therapy. My clients are ready for change & don't want to spend years in therapy to get it. Most of my clients reach their goals in just 3-12 Intensive sessions.

Are you tired of struggling? Do you need a JUMPSTART TO HEALING (tm)? I am now offering full-day, intensive therapy sessions to help you begin to heal more quickly. Jump Start sessions can really help with unresolved relational pain, anger, anxiety or trauma that is affecting your self esteem, your relationships, and your work. I can work with couples or individuals for an entire day so that you can do about two months worth of therapy sessions in a single day. This is appropriate for couples or individuals and is not a workshop, inpatient therapy, or group therapy.

Are you stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do you have recurring thoughts or behaviors from which you can't break free? It doesn't have to be that way, and I'd love to help you take charge again. I am now offering full-day intensive programs to get your life under control now!
