Find a Therapist in Springdale, OH

I approach healing with warmth, humor, and authentic connection. If you have racing thoughts, feeling stuck, or just barely keeping your head above water, I can help you regain purpose, clarity, and peace in your own life. You can expect a down-to-earth therapist who is experienced, direct, and effective in an environment where you are finally the focus. My approach is pragmatic and focused on real-life strategies that actually work. I use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These approaches are proven to be effective and can lead to meaningful change in a relatively short period of time. Please feel free to contact me directly to schedule a free consultation, or first appointment.

I believe in the experience, wisdom, insight and knowledge and insight of each individual and family with whom I connect. I acknowledge that every individual has the capacity to create change in their lives. I strive to deliver therapy and counseling services in a manner that is specific, responsive, compassionate and welcoming. I have experience and enjoy working with teenagers, young adults and men. While I have training to treat very specific clinical issues (i.e. depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment and transition, relationship conflict and more), I consider the whole person first. This means that I take the time to get to know you; we will explore your background, your identity, your relationships, what you want out of counseling and what motivated you to reach out. My hope is that we will connect, and you will begin to make progress and feel relief from the pain that led you to contact me.

I work with youth and adults beginning at age 4, and I also provide guidance and support for caregivers of children and teens. Whether you or your child is experiencing trauma, is autistic, or is experiencing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), behavioral challenges, or emotional overwhelm, I offer a safe, compassionate space to begin the healing process. Together, we focus on understanding emotions, developing effective coping skills, strengthening relationships, and building confidence. My goal is to empower each person and their family to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience, connection, and self-understanding.

If you are feeling defeated, confused, wanting better relationships or unsure of how to cope with your present situation, counseling can be extremely beneficial. You and I will work together to find solutions so that you may live a happier, more satisfying and productive life. I work with adults who are dealing with life transitions, anxiety, stress, depression, communication and relationship issues, grief and trauma. I will listen to you without judgement and with a great amount of compassion. Together we will explore ways to understand where you are, where you want to be and how to get there. As your counselor I can help you interpret what seems like a formidable path to one that is manageable and makes sense to you. Discovering who you are, at any age, can be fulfilling and joyous.

At Insight Therapeutic Services, I focus on the integration of mind, spirit and body. I understand that all three facets of one's self must be balanced together in order to make the most of our human potential.

It's important for me to comprehend each client's individual perspective so as to better help them achieve fulfillment and balance in their lives.

I can assist you to see things from a integrated, holistic perspective and help you to change your life for the better. Working together, we will use your desires and strengths to make positive, lasting changes in your life. I also have training and experience with the Enneagram, a personality development and typing system that offers understanding and insight regarding habitual patterns of behaving, feeling and thinking. Working under this system enables people to better understand themselves, what drives them, keys to personal development and strategies for coping. My entire career has concentrated on mental health, whether it was working with persons suffering from mental health disorders, people experiencing transitional life stress, or clients suffering from grief related complications. I have worked with individuals, children, adults, families and couples.

I am a clinical psychologist with a deep interest in helping those suffering from depression, trauma, relationship troubles, and anger issues.

Hello, my name is Dawn. I'm a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)) with more than 15 years of experience, and the heart of my work is simple: when a client feels genuinely heard, healing begins. From our very first session, I listen without judgment and honor your story, because so many of the people I work with have carried their burdens alone for too long or felt unheard by providers before me. My ideal clients are people of all ages who are ready for something to feel different, or better. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, the aftermath of trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to offer hope and support. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all care. Instead, I partner with each client to build a plan together, grounded in trust, honest communication, and a genuine working relationship. I bring particular depth to trauma work and an understanding of how trauma lives in the body and shapes overall well-being. My care is holistic and collaborative. Together, we look for root causes, consider the full range of supports that might help, including both non-medical approaches, when it's truly the right fit, medication, and revisit the plan as you grow. The goal is always your goals, not a protocol. You deserve a provider who truly listens and walks alongside you toward healing. Whether you're taking your very first step or you've been struggling for years, you don't have to figure this out alone. Reach out today, and let's begin your journey to wellness together.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Master’s of Science in Mental Health Clinical Counseling from Northern Kentucky University (2020) and Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Cincinnati Christian University (2018). 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. I work with all ages and stages of life and operate from a person-centered, strength-based, trauma informed, systemic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is designed to relieve the pain of past hurts and trauma; increase one’s ability to better handle current situations; and reduce stress related to future expectations. I have received training in Biblical counseling and am able to incorporate faith into counseling for clients that desire to do so, and is, of course, not required for those who do not desire to do so. I tailor my treatment approach with client’s based on their needs and desires. I enjoy assisting individuals in their search for identity and purpose; helping individuals, couples and families improve their communication, intimacy, and relationships; and supporting clients in pursuing their goals. I counsel a wide variety of treatment issues including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment disorders, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, spiritual concerns, self esteem issues, grief, personality disorders, sexual concerns or abuse, OCD, and mood disorders. My intention is to inspire hope and growth, develop wholeness, and empower others to live an abundant and authentic life. I use my gifts of compassion, insight, discernment, and engagement to bring about healing and restoration to the broken hearted and encourage a process of positive change in the lives of individuals, couples, and families. I deeply value creating a safe environment and aim to build a relationship of trust while assisting clients in reaching personal insight. My ultimate goal is to assist clients through healing and growth. I am prepared to accept anyone who walks into my office!

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Burned out or unhappy in your work or relationships? Are you in pain or crisis or feeling that you are not living as joyfully or fully as you wish? I can help. I specialize in helping peoplecouples through difficult challenges, transitions and out of crisis. One of my gifts as a therapist is an ability to quickly understand what is troubling you, to spot stumbling blocks and repeated patterns that are not working in your life. With my help, you will move toward more peace, joy, and success. I have a passion for my work because it works. I see lives reclaimed, relationships healed, & clients headed in good new directions. I use a variety of modes of therapy. One process that has helped many and brought extraordinary results is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR, as it is called, is a powerful approach that allows us to tap into thoughts and beliefs that are causing disruption in our lives, reprocess them and free us from their negative effects. My practice offers different levels of engagement, as the needs of my clients vary. Together we decide on: Basic support (4 sessions) Intermediate support (7 sessions) or Advanced support (10 sessions). In addition, psychotherapy group work is available. My clients' results are of the utmost importance to me. A letter from a client reads. "With your skillful and loving counsel, I have regained control of my life. For such a great boon there are no adequate thanks..." Robert K. I look forward to working with you.

Most of my work has been and continues to be with Couples and all the issues that life brings their way, such as: Enhancing communication; Infidelity; Sexual Dysfunction; Blending a Family; Intimacy; Parenting; etc. The sessions will be very focused on clearly established client goals. Homework is going to be an important part of our work, especially with Couples Therapy. I am a very forthright therapist who tries to help clients tap into their own reserves to find better ways to live. I also bring a wealth of knowledge, to the client, from my many years of work with relationship issues. My web site will give you much more information and the Blog page will help you get to know me better. Marriage is a beautiful institution and can also bring much pain. Couples can feel very overwhelmed and in great need of assistance to work through the problems or stages in their relationship. Don't give up on your relationship until you have worked with a skilled Marriage and Family Therapist!! Not every therapist has that expertise and experience. My focus is less on what is happening within the client. It is MUCH more important to look at the inter-relationships, both past and present. Blame is not very efficient at developing intimacy. Taking personal responsibility can help a lot!
