More about Colleen’s Clinical Work and Training:

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio, and I  have 15 years of experience working in various counseling settings. I’ve worked in domestic violence organizations, a homeless shelter, college settings, with families affected by kids with cancer, in a private practice setting, led retreats and trainings and worked in immigration cases writing psychological evaluations for persons seeking asylum. Each setting has shaped the way I work and each have enriched my view of the world and what it means to seek out healing. I most recently received my PMH-C designation in 2025, as a certified perinatal mental health therapist.

How I work: I work creatively and collaboratively with each client. I seek to offer a warm, affirming, and engaging environment. I offer space to sit in the heavy and hard moments of your life with presence, tenderness and hope, while also helping you to grow your resilience and your ability to offer yourself grace and tenderness.

I believe that much of our sorrow and struggles are rooted in relational experiences in our past, and that similarly, there is healing to be found in not remaining alone in your experience. I invite clients to a gentle dance between current life stressors/struggles and impactful experiences of the past that maybe coloring how they experience their current relationships and stressors.

Background: I received my Masters of Art in Counseling Psychology in 2010 from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. After living and working for over 12 years in Seattle, my family and I packed up and moved back to my childhood town in Ohio. I’m happy to be back to the land of fireflies and thunderstorms!

Whatever brings you here, I would be honored to walk with you

as you seek to better understand yourself and come home to

yourself.
