Absolutely lovely, super professional as well as pretty down to earth. Helps when you want to keep sessions light or when you want to dig deep. Felt completely at ease during our first session and have not felt judged for any of my feelings, or the way I chose to heal.

"What's going on and how can I help?"
Hey! I'm Mike (they/them) and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 4 years of professional work experience. I specialize in working with trauma survivors using EMDR & TF-CBT therapy, but I also have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+-related issues, ADHD, & depression. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I do not work with clients who are experiencing active psychological and/or psychiatric crisis. If you are having serious thoughts about harming yourself or others, please contact the National Suicide Hotline at 988, go to a local emergency room, or call 911.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
