Life can be hard and sometimes we need help. Some challenges develop over time and then reach a crisis point. Work stress, anxiety, parenting and discipline problems, or marital problems are examples of these. Some of us must cope with long-term conditions or problems, like trauma, depression, or loss. I am here to bring my educational background, personal insight, compassion, and problem-solving skills to work with you on the issues or problems that are interfering with your happiness and quality of life.

I would be happy to help you navigate from how things are, to how you would like them to be. I look forward to working with you in my calm, supportive and non-judgmental environment.

My experience includes assisting people who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief and family/relationship problems as well as with a variety of other issues that occur in our lives. I know reaching out is not easy, but I encourage you to call!

I am a Masters level social worker who has committed over twenty years towards helping adults, children, couples and families who are struggling with various life challenges. I offer evening and weekend appointments.

It is important to me that we work together as a team to reach your own personal emotional goals.

 About Rosie:
 Rosie is from England. She graduated from BGSU with a Master of Arts in Teaching Theatre, and from the University of  Toledo with a Masters in Social Work.

 Right now it might be difficult to see past the anguish of this very moment. When life is throwing all manner of   challenges at us, or when our mental health struggles are weighing us down, it’s tempting to think that we might be   stuck here for ever. Taking some time to meet with a therapist can be a very helpful tool in sorting out what is possible   for us to move forward.

 If there has been a time when I haven’t been helping people, then I don’t remember when it was. I have worked in a   variety of capacities as a Youth Pastor, teacher at Toledo School for the Arts, Theatre Artist, and Therapist in a school setting. I believe there is power in people’s abilities to tell their stories aright. I use active listening and intentional curiosity to assist people make personal discoveries and life-affirming choices. I truly believe in the power of the arts to infuse hope and healing into everyday life situations. The use of the imagination can be a great way to consider the possibilities that there may indeed be a different way to live, choose, and dream. I bring my experience in the arts to the therapy setting to provide an unique and interactive experience that helps my clients to move forward and restore well-being.

I am an ally of the LGBTQ+ family, a woman of faith, and I have been a caregiver to those living with dementia.

I believe in a therapy environment of respect, dignity, and compassion, and together with my patients find ways to thrive in an often chaotic and difficult world. I look forward to building a respectful and nurturing relationship with room for laughter and tears.

I provide therapy services to patients with a variety of chronic health diagnoses who are also struggling with their emotional health. My experience in the emergency department, hospice and home health has given me insight into the mental health challenges that frequently accompany the life limitations of chronic illness. I work with my patients to help them to find ways to re-discover their relevance, manage the multiple demands of maintaining their self-care, and to thrive despite their physical challenges. I work with a significant number of patients who are living with morbid obesity and help patients with challenges connected with bariatric surgery.

Additionally, I enjoy navigating with older patients who are making major life adjustments such as entering elder facilities, managing caregiving responsibilities, and working through the challenges of aging.  

Specialized training in:

* Diabetes management

* Trauma

* Hoarding disorder

I work with individuals (ages 16+), couples, and families looking for support. I am knowledgeable about trauma and attachment as it pertains to our mental health and relationships. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, and relational difficulties. I am a person of faith and, if indicated, willing to incorporate spirituality in our time together.

Nicole enjoys working with older teens (15+) and adults of all ages who are looking for a supportive and nonjudgmental space to process feelings of anxiety, depression, and those struggling with life adjustments. She is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community.

About Carol:
 Choosing therapy is an opportunity to enrich your life. I encourage learning, understanding, and growth through creativity and art expression.

I enjoy working with adults and children who are seeking powerful life improvement. I specialize in managing stress, relationship communication, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and eating disorders.

I understand that therapy is an investment: time, money, and energy. Together we will collaborate and envision a meaningful direction. The majority of life happens outside of the counseling session, therefore, we focus on strengthening coping mechanisms for daily living.

I offer expressive modalities including art, music, tapping methods, mindfulness and talk therapy. I believe that art creation is an effective means to navigate challenging life events. Healing through grief and loss, choosing to change a hurtful habit, living into your potential…..therapy helps. Regardless of artistic abilities, art therapy is an instrumental healing practice.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Registered and Board-Certified Art Therapist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)Therapist, I bring 30+ years of experience. In addition to individual and group therapy, I have designed innovative professional workshops and presented locally, nationally and internationally on the topics of art therapy, eating disorders, complicated grief, hope & resilience.

My personal motto is, “Do what you love, love what you do.”

 About Jim:   

My numerous years of experience have enabled me to effectively restore a sense of equilibrium for individuals suffering from anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, rumination, anger, and other causes of stress. By using coping skills such as cognitive processing and self-regulation, clients can enhance their sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. In addition, my use of empathetic and active listening has proven to be productive while working towards our treatment plan goals. Lastly, my supportive and non-judgemental approach to clients instills a sense of trust to all who are seen at Sylvania Therapy and Counseling. 

We live in a very complex and diverse society causing several life-changing challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help clients navigate themselves through daily stressors and become more resilient.”
