Hi! My name is Amy Bieber, and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Ohio. I received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!) and a master’s degree in counseling from Spring Arbor University. I have worked in the mental and behavioral health field for nearly 20 years. I specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and substance use disorders, as well as stress related to motherhood, women’s issues, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, and other stress related issues.

I believe treating a person holistically, mind, body and spirit, is the best way to heal. I also believe in treating each person according to their individual needs. Which is why I like to use an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating techniques from many different therapy modalities. Treatment approaches I use are cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical (DBT), person-centered, mindfulness-based, narrative, solution focused, motivational interviewing, as well as nutritional, spiritual and physical interventions.

I am a warm, empathetic person and believe in creating a nonjudgmental, safe environment for clients. I welcome the experience of helping you learn how to manage your struggles with confidence to live a more fulfilling life. I welcome new clients aged 12 to adults.

Hello! My name is Ava Donnersbach (she/her/hers). I am committed to helping youth (age seven and up), college students, and young to middle-aged adults using collaboration, strengths, and genuine empathy. For youth, I work conjointly with parents/guardians to ensure a well-rounded service that meets your child’s needs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Bowling Green State University.

I am passionate about providing a nonjudgmental, safe, and comfortable environment for those I am working with to engage in their own self-exploration, discovery, and growth. I can assist you with a variety of social, emotional, and/or behavioral needs including anxiety, depression, self-harm, stress, adjustment challenges, grief, ADHD, communication, relationship issues, and more.

Just as Irvin D. Yalom stated, “I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story.” As a counselor, I prioritize using an eclectic style in my therapy services to ensure your unique needs and goals are met. My style pulls from several modalities including, but not limited to, cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, dialectal-behavioral therapy skills, solution-focused brief therapy, expressive art therapy interventions, play therapy interventions, trauma-informed interventions, interpersonal therapy interventions, and mindfulness-based practices.

I look forward to helping you in your mental health journey and growth towards your goals!

Madison is supervised by Jamie Smith, MA, LPCC-S.

As an openly Autistic and ADHD therapist, creating a space where you feel safe, heard, understood, and able to be your most authentic self is of utmost importance to me. I primarily work with individuals ages 16 and up, specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and neurodivergent burnout. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodivergent affirming, and culturally inclusive therapist.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I wholeheartedly believe that safety within the therapeutic relationship is the foundation to making changes and adjustments that allow you the opportunity to build and truly experience the life you are wanting to live. As trust and safety are built, building resources (coping skills), providing psychoeducation, and utilizing evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness and Somatic Interventions are incorporated into sessions and tailored to your individual needs.

I value checking in and working with you collaboratively each session to ensure you are receiving exactly what you feel will be most helpful – whether that’s the space to vent about your week, processing your emotions from current events or past trauma, learning about new skills or new topics, breaking the cycle of neurodivergent burnout, having a quiet space to stim, fidget, draw, color, or play games, or simply having the space to infodump about your special interests (Hint… Mine include animals, specifically: cats, dogs, and owls, and then anything related to psychology or neurodivergence.)

I believe that our bodies ultimately communicate our needs to us each and every moment, so I value incorporating opportunities for you to be curious and tune in, explore, and build the confidence in identifying your needs each and every session.

A quote that I often think about states: “I’m keeping an eye on the future, an eye on the past, and the present in my pocket.” The message from this is the focus of my practice – to help you process past trauma, to empower and encourage you to work toward fulfilling goals, and to teach you to be more mindful for increased life satisfaction. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety or depression, dysfunctional relationships, the lasting impact from trauma, issues with balancing the stressors of work/family/friends/self, and the challenges of current events and society, then we may be a good fit! I have a clinical focus in traumatic experiences, family systems trauma, perinatal and postpartum mental health, reproductive health issues, work/professional stress, and the complicated issues of motherhood/parenthood. I practice from a trauma-informed, HAES-aligned lens, utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, mindfulness practice, and Shame-Informed Therapy. I use an empathetic, warm, and genuine approach, as it is my goal for my clients to feel accepted and heard, even when being encouraged or gently challenged. I practice from a place of intuition and curiosity about your process and utilize humor and kindness to help you grow and learn. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Minor in Women’s Studies from The University of Akron and my Master’s in Social Work from The Ohio State University. I have been practicing at Tomorrow Begins Today since 2017 and am welcoming new clients!

I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My counseling style is supportive, interactive, empathetic, and culturally inclusive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool to create lasting change. Human beings do not heal in isolation; we need human connections to thrive. Therapy works because we are utilizing our intrinsic need to connect with others and release the heaviness of issues and problems in ways make us feel heard, supported, and understood. My goal is to foster an environment that feels safe, comfortable, and open to connection throughout your therapeutic journey. Sessions are very much client-led, meaning that you determine the goals and the direction of our time together. My role is to help guide you on your own path of self-discovery and self-love. Regardless of circumstances, you are worthy and deserving of wellness. There is no wrong time, reason, or explanation to come to therapy. When you are ready, I’ll be here.
