Greetings! Glad you are here. I’m Theresa (she/her), a clinical social worker licensed and residing in Ohio. While I’ve been lucky to have a variety of experiences in the mental health field, my biggest passion is providing a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, life transitions, early adulthood, as well as those exploring their identify, direction, and sense of self. I have additional backgrounds providing clinical support for folks on both sides of the experience with substance use/addiction and trauma-focused care.

Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Stacy Ryan-Pettes. The part of my work I love most is helping people find answers. Going years without understanding why certain things feel harder than they should can be frustrating, confusing, and exhausting. A thoughtful evaluation can provide clarity, explain long-standing challenges, and highlight strengths that may have gone unrecognized.I view every evaluation as a partnership. You know yourself better than anyone else, so we start with your experiences, observations, and strengths. Together, we work toward a deeper understanding of what's going on and the answers you're looking for.I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio and Texas. In addition to conducting evaluations, I provide clinical services, teach and mentor future psychologists, conduct research, and consult with professionals and organizations. These experiences help me stay current in the field and give me the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds, each with a unique story.

My experience as a therapist began in New York City, working in the field of domestic violence as a therapist and advocate. Living in New York City at that time, I had the opportunity and honor to work with people of various nationalities and cultures. I completed my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology at New Mexico State University in 2000. I worked for, and directed, several community- based , not for profit agencies before I took the plunge to start my own business in 2005. I was in private practice off an on for 20 years, and since that time I have worked as a contractor in many capacities, with diverse populations.

Hi, I'm Steph Brass, a LISW living in Kent, Ohio and practicing virtually across the state. My path to this work is a personal one — I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life after advocating and arguing with many professionals, and that experience reshaped how I understand both struggle and growth. I know what it's like to build a life that works with your brain instead of against it, and I bring that lived understanding into every session.
