Hi! I’m Jamie, a counselor-in-training at Ohio University, working toward my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I care deeply about helping people recognize their strengths, feel more confident in who they are, and move toward the life they want.
Hello!!! My name is Chris Johnson, CJ. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Gallaudet University in 1996 and my Master of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University in 1999.
Hello, my name is Amanda, and I am a counseling intern currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. I specialize in working with adults and children ages 6-12, providing a safe, inclusive, and collaborative therapeutic environment for all clients, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or socioeconomic status.=
I believe that each individual already possesses the tools needed to live a happy, peaceful life. As a therapist, my role is to support and assist you in uncovering the resources within yourself, helping you live a life that aligns with your values. I take a strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy, providing a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly share your journey without fear.
Hi there, my name is Abby O’Connor, and I am excited to get to know you! I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and have a master’s degree of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ohio University and am currently enrolled at PennWest University to become dually licensed as an art therapist. I also earned my B.A. in psychology and art from The Ohio State University.
I am an independently licensed social worker with more than 10 years experience practicing psychotherapy. I specialize in helping clients cope with stress, depression, anxiety disorders and life transitions. I work from a strengths-based perspective and I believe that by helping you identify and examine thinking patterns and behaviors that are no longer helpful to you, we can create change together and introduce new methods for coping.
As a young adult, I witnessed the profound impact of trauma and grief as friends and family returned from war, struggling with limited access to mental health care. At just 19, I made it my mission to support service members and veterans navigating these challenges.
Everything is temporary. This is what makes life so beautiful, but sometimes it can be scary and debilitating. Problematic relationships, trauma, low self-esteem, substance abuse, and anxiety can be the causes and results of other underlying issues. We don’t have to work through it all alone, though. I aim to assist and support you in making the most of life by learning from the past, accessing your best self, and welcoming all that life has to offer.
