Hi my name is Brian Robb & I work primarily with adults, couples, & some older teenagers. I’m passionate about helping people: cope with anxiety & depression; process family dysfunction; sort through difficult emotions; heal from past trauma; become less self critical; & begin or maintain recovery from compulsive behaviors (drugs/alcohol/pornography). I also enjoy helping couples to improve their relationships & communication. I have found therapy personally beneficial to my own life & relationships, which is why I chose to pursue a career in helping others. I’ve been working in the field since 2010 & graduated from both Bowling Green State University & the University of Toledo. Everybody I meet is a unique individual, I spend the first 3-4 sessions getting to know you before we create a path for how to address your needs & achieve your goals. I always strive to be collaborative: focusing on your goals & your pace; and bringing my knowledge of the change process to work alongside you. Lastly, I want you to know that reaching out is a sign of tremendous strength. It may be your pattern to deal with issues by yourself; & its possible to stay stuck because of this for years or even decades. Know that we all need other’s support to be the best version of ourselves. Give yourself the opportunity to try something new and see how it can work

I believe that children are our future. Their resiliency to life's stressors and trauma never ceases to amaze me and I feel grateful working alongside them while they continue to grow. Although children are often resilient, their negative experiences can affect their future if not given opportunity to explore and grow from them. As a licensed independent social worker, I have experience working with children and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, behavioral problems, grief, adjusting to life changes such as parental divorce, and trauma. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and families through these challenges and focusing on how their strengths can be used. I specialize in Child-Parent Psychotherapy which is an evidenced-based form of therapy focused on young children that have experienced some sort of traumatic experience and could benefit from strengthening their relationship with their parent, caregiver, or foster placement. My hope is to help your child feel safe and comfortable to explore their experiences, feelings, and behaviors through play and other creative interventions to make time spent in therapy fun and meaningful!

I personally believe that everyone is affected by mental illness one way or another. My passion is helping children, adolescents, young adults work though life. I have experience working with clients who have depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ challenges, bullying, and interpersonal relationships. I also have experience working individually and in the group setting for Anger Management and Bipolar Disorders. I have received all of my higher education from The University of Toledo and possess a Masters in Counselor Education with a focus in Clinical Mental Health. I personally pursued counseling because I believe and have seen first hand the wonderful things it can do for people. I prefer to take a hands on a realistic approach with all of my clients. When working with children I specifically like to take a hands on, creative and interactive approach. My goal is that all of my clients leave feeling understood and validated, no matter life's struggles.

I commend you for taking the first step in improving yourself and your life! I am a licensed social worker who believes that the rapport that you build with your clients is essential to develop a therapeutic trust and process for positive change to take place. I also believe in providing a non-judgmental, safe based environment in which the client and therapist work together in which to achieve a desirable outcome. I will work with you to develop this relationship and provide support as you work toward your goals. I have 20 years of experience working with clients in the areas of: Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anger, Self-Esteem and Boundary Issues, Substance Abuse, Marital Issues including Mental, Emotional and Physical Abuse, and Grief and Loss by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also provide couples counseling in which I practice the Gottman Method of Therapy. Just remember, that everyone is a human being, and needs a little assistance and guidance every now and then…

"When you focus on the good, the good gets better". I believe that change happens when people find the ability to focus on the positive in life and are given the tools and guidance to draw on their own strength and potential. I strive to provide clients with the tools, knowledge, and support they might need in order to overcome obstacles and live their best lives. I enjoy incorporating the creative outlets of play therapy, art, and writing into the therapeutic process whenever a client is interested in doing so. I am a Master's Licensed Social Worker who has received my undergraduate degree from Lourdes University and Master's degree from St. Louis University. I have experience and extensive training in working with children and young adults. Together, I can work with you and/or your child to create a client centered plan that will fit your specific treatment goals.

It can be hard to live for today where you're stuck in the past, or anxious about the future, but with evidence-based practice and individualized care you can be on your way to wellness! As a licensed professional counselor, I have experience with teens and adults who struggle with fear and anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, grief, and relationship issues which can often be rooted in unresolved traumas. I specialize in EMDR which is an evidence-based form of therapy used in treating PTSD as well as other trauma-related issues. We'll spend a great deal of time talking about what's bothering you, but I'll also offer hands-on, practical strategies for managing symptoms. For many, the choice to begin therapy is not an easy one to make and is often far outside one's comfort-zone. As a therapist, my goal is to help you to feel as comfortable as possible by delivering a warm, non-judgmental approach that's tailored for you!

A quote that I often think about states, “I’m keeping an eye on the past, an eye on the future, and the present in my pocket.” The message from this quote is the basis for the focus of my practice; to help clients understand or process past trauma and past stressful events, to empower and encouraged clients to work toward fulfilling goals, and to teach clients to be more mindful and present in the here and now for increased life satisfaction. Every person is made of complex experiences, that they have both contributed to and that they have had no control over. It is my passion to assist clients in working through these experiences through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as other evidence-based practices for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I use an empathetic, warm, and genuine approach to my therapy sessions, as it is my goal for my clients to feel accepted and heard, even when being encouraged or challenged. My worldview is that every person deserves to lead a fulfilling and satisfying life. As for my professional vitae, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Minor in Women’s Studies from The University of Akron and my Master’s in Social Work from Ohio State University.

Kristin Bruce, MA, LPC The problems of life faced by adolescents and adults are the focus of my practice. My goal as your counselor is to provide support as you face the many difficulties that are part of the human experience, and to help you find paths that lead to positivity, hope, and goal attainment. To this end, I strive to be attentive, open, genuine, challenging, and provide a safe environment for my clients to explore their inner lives and leverage innate strengths. In my clinical practice, I treat adolescents and adults experiencing career and relationships difficulties, major life transitions, the aftereffects of recent or childhood traumas, grief, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Using cognitive-behavioral and positive psychology techniques, I work with individuals to clarify problems, focus on symptom relief, and develop and begin actively working on new goals.

Today, we are faced with more challenges and stressors than ever before. It is my pleasure to be able to work alongside people, helping them use their strengths to overcome these new obstacles.

I would be honored to help you on your path and help you create positive change by focusing on what makes you unique as well as understanding what may be impacting the situation in your environment.

It would be hard to argue that our lives haven't become a lot more complicated over the last few years.

My goal is to help individuals and families dealing with behavioral issues and life's struggles. I take an individualized approach to treating each person.

I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents. My approach to therapy is to understand where my client is at in the therapy process and meet them there. I create a space where a client can feel understood, heard and safe. Developing rapport is one of the most important aspects in therapy. I like to utilize a lot of different techniques in therapy since I believe that not one technique fits everyone. I have recent training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which I love to utilize in sessions. I graduated from The University of Toledo with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I have about 1 1/2years of experience post-grad. I believe it is important to do what you love, and I love being a therapist and joining my clients on their journey of self-growth.
