About

I am Eric Riesterer, LPCC, currently living in Cleveland Ohio (Go Cavs!) and licensed in Ohio, Arizona and Minnesota. My ideal clients are children, teens, adults, and families/parents grappling with issues like Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Electronic Dependence, Impulse-Control Disorders, PTSD, all yearning for practical tools to reclaim control and build lasting independence and resilience. My ideal clients want not just relief, but empowerment: the ability to navigate stressors independently, foster meaningful connections, uncovering a sense of purpose and meaning for a more balanced and motivated life.

Education & Licensure
BA in Clinical Psychology, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walsh University.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation in working with neurodivergent clients stems from experience working in the school systems and in private practice meeting amazing individuals with common interests to myself such as coding, programming, and nature. I focus beyond basic talk therapy by empowering survivors with trauma-informed care using cognitive-processing therapy to help those with trauma move past their Stuck-Points ("I'm not safe... It's my fault... I'm damaged.") It is my honor to help neurodivergent individuals discover empowerment and control in their lives for profound impacts to our communities.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

In the whirlwind of modern life, whether it's the weight of anxiety or the echoes of trauma, I've seen clients transform severe trauma and anxiety into forward momentum and balance. My goal is your success: empowered, meaning-fulfilled, driven, resilient, and ready for whatever comes next. My practice is Neurodivergent-Affirming and proudly Veteran Owned.
