Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

In my practice, holistic healing means recognizing the intricate interplay between your thoughts, emotions, physical self, and overall life experiences. I am committed to understanding the unique tapestry of your existence, and together, we'll explore how each thread contributes to your mental health. This approach goes beyond symptom management, seeking to enhance the vitality of your whole self. At the core of my therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindful and values-based methodology. ACT empowers you to embrace your thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering acceptance.

Relationships and just getting along with ourselves and with others is very difficult at times. For everyone. But we can move from pain by transforming it into greater happiness and meaning.

The first step in any change is realizing that you want or need a change in the first place. As a therapist, I utilize a strength-based approach to allow clients to learn and hone in on the skills they already possess in order to make the changes they desire in their lives. In our sessions, I will act like a mirror, helping you to gain insight, discover patterns, and learn about the obstacles that are in the way of your happiness. I am committed to helping my clients discover their goals and create a path to personal growth.

Hi, I’m Gina.

Are you tired of struggling? Do you need a JUMPSTART TO HEALING (tm)? I am now offering full-day, intensive therapy sessions to help you begin to heal more quickly. Jump Start sessions can really help with unresolved relational pain, anger, anxiety or trauma that is affecting your self esteem, your relationships, and your work. I can work with couples or individuals for an entire day so that you can do about two months worth of therapy sessions in a single day. This is appropriate for couples or individuals and is not a workshop, inpatient therapy, or group therapy.

Something in your life isn’t working right now. Maybe it’s a close relationship where you don’t feel seen or understood. Maybe something happened that you can’t get out of your head, and every time your mind wanders back to it, you feel a tightening in your chest. Maybe you’re doing something that you know is holding you back, but you just can’t seem to stop. Whatever it is, something in your life is keeping you from feeling at peace and excited to wake up in the morning. Take a moment and think about what your day would look like if you felt seen in your relationships and free from trauma and addiction. Let's make that reality.

I have worked in private practice since 1995. In that time, I have come to appreciate the collaboration and interplay between my clients and myself. I encourage people to pursue adaptations of their ideas, life choices and relationships as a way of taking charge of their own lives. Usually it takes many small shifts and multiple steps to lead to a beneficial outcome. It's not easy but therapy can be rewarding and life altering with the development of insight and the use of extra support to move forward.

From the moment you step into our therapy room, you will always be considered as a whole person inherently capable of growth, change, and the ability to thrive when provided the safe space and therapeutic support to do so. Your strengths, experiences, interests, stuck points, values, and core beliefs will guide our process as we work towards creating connection, balance and greater fulfillment in your life. I work collaboratively with clients in a space filled with empathy, curiosity, and authenticity. Our sessions will be uniquely designed for you and what works for you, as we move together along your path back to yourself.
