Brody Rike

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Hamilton, OH


I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


  • 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.

Heidi Ross

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hello and Welcome! If you are seeking results, you have come to the right place! I am Heidi Ross, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and Licensed Professional Clinical Candidate in the state of Colorado.

A little about me. I received my Bachelor of Psychology in 2000 and my Master of Education in Community Counseling in 2002 from the University of Akron. For 9 years, I provided therapeutic counseling services to children and adults in outpatient, home-based, and school-based settings. For the past 11 years, I have provided outpatient mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families of all ages, in person and via telehealth, in a private practice setting.

I am a very diverse therapist who feels it is very important to meet clients where they are at. I have an open-door policy regarding client population. We are all in this life together and may need assistance to get through! I provide high-quality care to older teens, adults, and couples in need through the convenience of telehealth. “It is my mission to help others help themselves, and to help them get through life’s obstacles!"
