ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Cleveland, OH

Hello, I'm Valerie!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

​I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.

You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.

• I’m in your corner. I’m not here to judge, fix, or control. I’m here to understand, challenge when needed, and help you grow.
• I will tell the truth. Kindly, clearly, and without fluff. Progress requires honesty.
• I value structure and clarity. We will set goals. We will measure movement. We won’t just “vent and vibe.”
• I integrate evidence-based approaches. I lean heavily on CBT and Motivational Interviewing, with EMDR techniques when appropriate. Therapy with me is practical and action-oriented.
• I respect faith. If spirituality matters to you, we can thoughtfully integrate it. If not, we won’t force it.
• I believe people are more resilient than they think. My job is to help you access what’s already there.
• I hold both accountability and compassion. Growth happens in that tension.
• I’m human. I don’t claim perfection. I show up present, prepared, and fully invested in your development.

Hi, I’m Michael Aluvieve, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) providing telehealth therapy for adults across Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and also work with stress, PTSD, and life transitions.

My approach is both professional and personal. After being accepted to Berklee College of Music, my own experience with mental health got in the way. Now I'm passionate about helping others that struggle with their mental health. Mental health issues aren't just a clinical notion to me, I am familiar with how burdensome and painful they can be.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

I earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati after working in Children's Protective Services and Juvenile Court facilities. I have years of experience helping children, youth and families connect and function in more healthy ways. I see adults and couples as well, and strive to facilitate healing of hearts and marriages.

I have personal and professional experience in foster parenting and adoption. One of my special areas of interest is the effects of nutrition and exercise on mental health. I have utilized Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for twenty years as a specialty.

Hi, I’m Wendy Brandeberry, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing virtual medication management and mental health support to adults across Ohio.

With years of experience, I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or stuck in racing thoughts—and I’m here to help them find calm, clarity, and a path forward.

Hello, I am a dual certified Nurse Practitioner with board certifications in Women's health and Psychiatric Mental health. I work with women, moms, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the emotional ups and downs that come with stress, life changes, or motherhood. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, easily triggered, or frustrated with how their emotions are affecting their relationships, focus, or daily life.
