Hello, my name is Mary! I am a licensed therapist that specializes in trauma, grief and loss. I am EMDR trained; and offer EMDR sessions as well as EMDR intensive where we design an individualized program to fit your specific needs. I also offer KAP and have seen amazing results! I have been working with clients and families for over 25 years and feel I bring a seasoned, open outlook into the therapeutic setting. One of my all-time favorites is “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ― Maya Angelou.

Allison L Schulte, LSCSW, is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker who offers therapeutic services to adults, adolescents, and children experiencing depression, anxiety, cognitive impairments such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, personality disorders, grief and loss, significant stress, relationship difficulties, and other social or emotional concerns. She holds both undergraduate and master’s degrees in social work from Wichita State University.
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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected in your relationships, or worried about your child or family? Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, grief, conflict, or painful life changes for so long that you barely recognize yourself anymore. You may have spent years trying to stay strong for everyone else while quietly struggling on your own. If so, you are not alone.
I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through without fear of judgment. With nearly 60 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples and families, I understand how deeply emotional pain, relationship struggles, family stress, loss, and life transitions can affect people.
I have extensive experience working with at-risk adolescents and young adults facing challenges such as self-harming behaviors, trauma, addictions, and family conflict.
I have worked successfully with adults navigating substance use concerns, chronic pain and other health difficulties, caregiver burnout, grief, various forms of loss, and major life transitions.
In addition, I work with couples facing communication difficulties, separation, infidelity, divorce and other relationship challenges, as well as families dealing with parenting stress, illness, addictions, cultural adaptation, and significant life changes. I am also able to support families with young children who are experiencing developmental difficulties, health challenges, or acting-out behaviors and I provide pre-marital counseling for couples who are about to tie the knot. Throughout our work together, I strive to help clients build greater self-awareness, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward a greater sense of balance, connection, and emotional well-being.
With more than 30 years of clinical experience, I provide therapy grounded in empathy, insight, and professionalism. I am known for being an engaged listener and for creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported without judgment. I'm a graduate of the University of Cincinnati Masters Clinical Social Work School, the University of Cincinnati's Medical School Family Therapy Institute, EMDR Consulting Licensure. My background includes extensive meditation experience and enables me to meet clients with flexibility, depth, and understanding.


Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for family therapists in Cleveland starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and major life changes. As you compare Cleveland therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match what your family wants to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or other relational methods.
In a mid-sized city like Cleveland, you may find a range of in-person offices across nearby neighborhoods and suburbs, along with virtual appointments that expand your options. For family therapy in Cleveland, it helps to ask how sessions are structured. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, couples, or one family member at a time. Also consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works with family dynamics and what to expect.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists in Cleveland, Ohio, choose between virtual and in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
