Chana Rivka Hersh

Cleveland, Ohio - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Searching for the right counselor? Don't settle for just help...get BetterHelp! I am excited to explore with you how to reach your goals and start on the path to leading the life that you desire. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and graduated from Texas State University with a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a focus in individual counseling and marriage & family therapy. When I first meet with a someone new, I approach the session from a person-centered modality of therapy, listening, getting to know the person, and building a safe and trusting environment where they can be all of who they are without judgment. From this place, I assist in determining what they want out of life and how we can work together to help them overcome their current problems and achieve their goals and outcomes. At this point I may employ a variety of therapeutic techniques including neuro-linguistic, cognitive-behavioral, gestalt and family systems techniques, among others. My overall approach is integrative and follows the lead of the client based on their goals, outcomes, and comfort. I have worked in the field of counseling since 1994. I began my career working with severe and persistently mentally ill individuals who had been in and out of the Texas State Mental Hospital system. I had the pleasure of working with clients and their families in order to allow the individuals to live out in the community and no longer reside in the hospital system. After successfully working with over sixty individuals and families, I decided to pursue my lifetime goal of working with those who have experienced abuse/neglect. I began focusing my career towards working with individuals who have experienced physical, sexual, and/or family violence. I have counseled individuals with severe depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, phobias, breaking bad habits, family system issues, suicidal ideation/self-harm, marital issues, lgbtq issues, and general relationship issues as well as substance abuse, sexual addictions, and eating disorders. I have provided both crisis counseling as well as on-going counseling for multiple issues. It is my overall goal for every person I counsel to feel understood while experiencing progress, success, and fulfillment. Since we set well-defined outcomes together, clients usually report that they have reached their goals and followed a road map to get to their outcomes during the counseling process. I look forward to meeting you and walking down the path to a better life with you!

Ashley Spitzer

Cleveland, Ohio - Clinical Social Worker
Online

Hello and welcome! I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist who has been in the mental health profession for over 15 years. I have a laidback and warm personality and encourage my clients to not censor themselves and to ask questions. I like to say that therapy is YOUR time. It is your time to vent, process and identify you needs, wants and goals. I thoroughly enjoy helping individuals help themselves. I offer a safe and open-minded environment to allow my clients to feel welcome and comfortable. I utilize a client-focused approach and strongly feel that is it imperative to focus on the client's immediate symptoms and needs. I encourage my clients to be who they are and reassure them that they do not need to censor their problems, emotions and needs. I am creative and considerate when choosing my interventions and open to hearing feedback from clients. I feel that being open to feedback allows me to better assist my patients by identifying their likes, dislikes and comfort level. My mission is to educate and empower humans, of all ages, about how to take care of ourselves and others; mind, body and soul. It is also to teach the importance of consistency, empathy and setting boundaries. Because consistency is calming; empathy is essential and boundaries are beautiful. I am here to help and guide you in whatever capacity I can. Please free to ask questions, I am here to listen, engage and help you help yourself. I enjoy working with clients ages 13 and up, providing assessments, individual and family therapy. I am absolutely committed to maintaining a positive rapport throughout the treatment process, so my clients feel comfortable providing me with the necessary feedback to help them move forward in therapy.

LeAnn Taylor

Cleveland, Ohio - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Hello there! My name is LeAnn Taylor and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with in Ohio with over 10 years of experience working as an individual and family therapist. I have worked with clients and families with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems, relationship and parenting issues, as well as career challenges and substance abuse. I am also a certified trauma-focused therapist and have helped many people who have experienced physical, sexual and emotional trauma or abuse. My passion is for helping people through their most difficult times in life. When working with the clients I take a collaborative approach and treat our relationship as a partnership of growth and development. I believe that you must have a safe, open space to share and express yourself freely, as well as gain insight and realistic, yet positively communicated feedback without judgment. For many of the clients that I work with, one common theme and barrier when coming into counseling is feeling alone, unheard, and often unsupported, specifically by those who are supposed to help and care for them. They often feel stuck, confused or have trouble knowing what to do next, but express that no one understands their situation. Therefore, I strive to ensure that all people I work with feel included, respected, cared for, and listened to, most of all when they are expressing their feelings and deepest challenges. Exploring your thoughts and feelings in counseling takes courage and helps you tackle tough situations. Also, will help you to push past the pain of the present, to see the promise of your future. I am here to help you work toward change, face daily challenges and develop a positive outlook on life. I look forward to working with you!
