Behavioral Issues Therapists in Worthington, OH

Congratulations on taking action! Choosing a therapist can be difficult. It is important to find someone you can be comfortable talking to, you feel safe with, and most importantly, one who has the skills to help you.

Divorce is considered to be one of the most stressful life events that an individual experiences during their lifetime, especially when children are involved. I am a forensically trained clinical psychologist and I conduct parenting plan evaluations (formerly called child custody evaluations) throughout the state of Ohio. I also have been qualified as an expert in forensic psychology and I have experience providing expert testimony in Ohio and Maryland. I also provide psychological evaluations, including for ADHD. I offer practical and individualized treatment recommendations to assist you in helping to reach your full potential.

Life is not always easy. If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression you are not alone. NIMH studies show that 43.5% of the US population will experience at least a mild anxiety disorder sometime in their lifetime. In my experience, I have seen that there are countless factors that contribute to our mental health. My focus is on the whole person. Together we will explore your biography as well as your biology. We will unpack your life story to discover a path to feeling healthy and strong again. I would consider it a privilege to listen.

My favorite part of therapy is seeing people rediscover their joy! Do you find yourself saying about your partner that you 'love them' but don't 'enjoy them'? Have you looked at your children or teens and wondered if the 'fun part' of parenting is over? I work with couples and families on a daily basis to help them figure out how to find that connection again. I help them resolve their current struggles and empower then to create better futures.

18 years of counseling experience has taught me that we must examine what is happening beneath your symptoms. Your body holds on to painful memories and the engine inside revs continually until it finally cannot withstand any longer. It emits uncomfortable body sensations and emotions until the pain becomes enough to get your full attention. I'll help you "turn off the engine" of trauma so you can engage a system of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that help you feel more like yourself again.

In addition to working on social skills and behavior management with clients and their families, Sarah has extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, art therapy and play therapy to help children who've been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Empowering children to navigate the every day stressors that accompany mental health issues is Sarah's priority.

I provide individual counseling services to children and adolescents dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, peer relationships, behavioral problems, and trauma. I am passionate about helping my clients reach their ideal level of functioning and providing them with meaningful feedback and interventions.

There are few professional relationships where trust, a commitment to openness, and creating a safe environment are more important than in the client/therapist dynamic. Finding the right therapist can be a difficult but essential feature in creating personal growth and fulfillment. It is my passionate belief that this working relationship between client and therapist is the foundation of successful treatment. I have over sixteen years of experience working with a broad and varied range of individuals struggling with a myriad of challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, isolation, sexuality, gender identity, and relationship issues.

Creating a trusting relationship and holding a safe space for you to feel seen, heard, respected and understood is my top priority. It is my privilege to listen and provide support through some of life's most difficult challenges. I bring a gentle, curious, compassionate, non-judgmental and often playful approach to therapy. I help children, adolescents, and adults who may be experiencing or have a history of a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, body image issues, grief, life transitions, changes in beliefs, relationships and identity.

If you don't feel comfortable in traditional talk therapy, you may have a different learning style that deserves respect. There are four main learning styles: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic, which requires physical interaction with the environment. If you are a visual person or need more engagement, then art therapy may be the best fit for you. Art Therapy is a method of self-expression that creates a safe and nonjudgmental space. The focus is on the process of creating and the meaning you bring to your art. No artistic talent is required. I offer telehealth (virtual) services to children, adolescents and adults.

I work with both individuals and couples who are seeking to promote their mental health. I provide a safe and compassionate space to feel heard and understood, while helping guide individuals and couples toward their therapeutic goals.

Do you struggle with anxiety, panic, perfectionism, burnout, and a general sense of not being enough? Sometimes that looks like overworking, drowning in motherhood, or not being able to pin down exactly what doesn’t feel good in your life – just knowing that something is off. My deepest passion is helping women begin taking up space in their own life; typically that looks like a good balance of practicing new skills (setting boundaries, self-connection, communication, self-care, etc) while also exploring and healing deeply-held beliefs that make it difficult to do those skills on your own.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents from diverse backgrounds. I have a background in school counseling with years of experience working with older children and adolescents. I currently work with clients of any age who are looking for help to improve their mental and emotional wellness. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who specializes in individual counseling for children, adolescents, and young adults. I help individuals manage anxiety, depression, anger, behavioral issues, disorders related to trauma, relationship issues, major life adjustments/ transitions, and other personal issues. I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Miami University and a master’s degree in Social Work from Louisiana State University.

My ideal client is someone ready to make changes in their life. Feeling the impact of stress, burn out or vicarious trauma? Experience an on the job accident or critical incident? I am a certified EMDR therapist with a passion for helping other helping professionals and high risk occupations (first responders, nurses, military) (and their families age 14+) overcome the challenges that life can bring. In addition to the typical outpatient appointment model, I offer extended therapy session for intensives (90+ mins). My approach to therapy is centered on empathy, active listening, and providing a safe and nurturing environment.

I am an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist with a designation as a training supervisor (IMFT-S). I have been providing couple and family therapy services for more than 11 years. I earned a Master's degree in Marital and Family Therapy from The Family Institute at Northwestern University.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

The stigma surrounding mental health care is finally starting to dissipate. It is my hope that preemptive counseling will eventually become as routine as annual trips to a primary care doctor. There’s much yet to be learned about the uncharted depths of the emotional world. The best place to start is in your own life. By doing your own work, you naturally pave the way for someone else to do theirs. Why not start today? If you’re stuck on your own path toward health, in a struggling relationship, or simply want to develop greater self-awareness, it’d be my honor to work with you.
