Existential Therapists in Saint Bernard, OH

My dream client is someone who's navigating life's intricate maze, juggling the demands of work, relationships, and self-care. They might wrestle with stress, anxiety, and some emotional rollercoasters. They're craving a warm and understanding companion to share their journey. Whether they're navigating a new life transition or wrestling with a persistent inner battle, my ideal client is someone who wants relief and effective strategies to move forward toward a satisfying life.

I work with individual adults and couples on the changes they'd like to see in their lives, whether it be addressing stress, conflict, depression, behavioral concerns, fears and worries, loss, anger, recovery, the past, parenting, or simply wanting to continue growing emotionally. I approach therapy with great compassion and respect for those who seek it. I provide a safe space to talk about whatever's on your mind. I offer short-term practical help as well as more in-depth exploration.

I am the sole clinician at my new private practice, Dr Jennifer G Smith LLC. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist who provides individual and group psychotherapy and have over 10 years of clinical experience providing mental health service to adults. I see myself as client-centered and relational in my clinical work and take an integrative approach to treatment. One of the most important aspects of counseling to me is making sure my client feels safe and heard. I view it as a privilege to be invited into someone's world and asked for help, so I meet the client where they are and we make a plan together.

I will partner with you to Live the Life YOU Want to Live. My therapy approach is YOU-centered. I work with each client exactly where you are, without judgement. We find ourselves trapped in ways of doing things that may have worked in the past or just helped us survive, but now you're in a place in your life where you are done with just surviving. You want to live. You want to live the way you want to live, that works for you right here and now, not the way your brain is telling you that you have to live like you did in the past.

I specialize in helping persons with chronic, disabling medical and mental health conditions improve their quality of life. In our work together, you will learn self-regulation skills for the management of physical and emotional concerns; lessen the impact of pain, reduce anxious feelings, increase positive mood. To help you accomplish your goals, I combine psychotherapy with methods from neuroscience and physiology. Based on your needs, offerings may include traditional biofeedback and quantitative EEG guided neurofeedback (BF&NF), heart rate variability training(HRV),pulsed/repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS), cranial electrical stimulation (CES), transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS)

Accepting New Clients May 2024. Do you or your adolescent feel overwhelmed or that you cannot cope with your life right now? Have you experienced a significant loss and feel that your life has no direction? Do you feel stuck? Imagine you can enjoy life again, that you can feel capable and motivated to go on and live a fulfilling life.

You are sad, isolated, & anxious but you're too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone about it. You feel constant guilt for opportunities missed. You're confused because your life looks good on paper. You force a smile but inside feel despair, worry, and don't know how to cope. You can't find peace because your thoughts are racing. You get angry at situations that don't make any sense. At times, you are stressed out and can't find the energy to get out of bed. You focus on what you did wrong in the past.

*Currently offering telehealth appointments only* I work with adults and adolescents and have experience helping with a wide range of issues. The only prerequisite for therapy is that you or your loved ones are suffering and would like some help. Where appropriate and useful, I prefer to work intensively in an exploratory and supportive capacity to attend to long-standing and entrenched problems that seem resistant to change. If your goal is better self-understanding, enduring growth, and becoming more comfortable in your own skin, we may be a good match.

We provide holistic counseling services that aim to meet the emotional needs of individuals throughout the community. Areas of specialization include managing moods, working through interpersonal conflict, and improving emotional management/coping associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Through the application of diagnostic assessments and services geared towards individuals, we strive to meet the holistic, psychosocial, and ever-changing needs of our clients.

Therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender preference, trauma history, mental or physical health challenges or income. That is why I keep my fees low. Psychotherapy can help you move through difficult times and losses. It can help you identify your personal barriers to change and help you develop tools to enhance your future. I can see clients by telehealth in both Ohio and Florida.

I am passionate about helping others find unique and creative solutions to problems. I believe in the ability to utilize art and craft as a way of both coping with and processing these challenges and traumas, along side traditional talk therapy. I am supportive of lifestyles outside of the "normative" culture, and see the beauty in these differences. Understanding the way our personal core values interact with the values of the world around us gives us the opportunity to feel safe and secure in our decisions and actions.

People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. Some want to better understand themselves and their families. Others are seeking support as they cope with stressful situations at home and work, life transitions, or a significant loss. Often, I assist my clients to learn to manage difficult emotions or disruptive symptoms. Together, we explore what is in the way of having a fuller life and satisfying relationships.

We enjoy working with clients who are open to understanding how adverse life experiences negatively impact thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and are ready to do the work of exploring these connections in therapy. We strive to build relationships with our clients based on the foundations of curiosity and empathy in a collaborative setting that is goal-oriented and relaxed, where their true self can be seen and feel accepted. Our overarching hope for clients is that through therapy they would believe they have inherent worth and value as human beings, apart from what they do, have, or what other people think and say about them.

"Helping You Do Life Better." We all face difficult times in our journey of life when we find ourselves feeling lost, stuck, confused, and/or alone because of our struggles with emotional and mental health. Counseling can help you do life better in the following ways: (1) increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love; (2) discover internal strengths; (3) recover and rediscover the person who you are meant to be; (4) find healing and restoration you long for. My clients that have found the most success in these areas are those who are willing to invest in themselves and do the work between sessions.
