Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Dayton, OH

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

Hi, I’m Ebony, and I’m truly passionate about my career and the clients I serve. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported. My goal is to make things simple, clear, and comfortable, so you always know you’re in good hands. I’m here to listen, answer questions, and partner with you every step of the way.

Hello, I’m Chido and thank you for your commitment in engaging in treatment. I understand that seeking support can be a meaningful and sometimes difficult step, and I approach each client with compassion and genuine care. I have experience in working with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, grief, family and relationship issues.

I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.

Hello! My name is Parker and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW) who takes a practical, down-to-earth approach to managing mental health. With 3 years experience in community-based family therapy, I am already well-versed in meeting clients right where they are to find realistic and effective solutions to life's challenges. In order to continue meeting dynamic therapeutic needs, I am now accepting virtual clients. Men's mental health is an emphasis of my practice, however, I am happy to work with anyone wanting to reach their therapeutic goals.

Hello, I’m Grace Aidoo, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based care across the lifespan. My approach is holistic, empathetic, and collaborative, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I earned my Master of Science in Advanced Midwifery Practice from Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom and completed my Post-Master’s PMHNP certificate at Walden University. With a background in nursing, maternal and child health, and mental wellness, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to my sessions.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and perinatal mental health challenges. My goal is to help clients find balance, clarity, and empowerment through a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic partnership.

Whether you are navigating life transitions, emotional distress, or seeking to improve your overall mental well-being, I am here to walk alongside you with empathy and respect. Together, we will create a personalized plan that promotes healing and sustainable wellness.

Life doesn't have to feel this difficult. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, gain perspective, and begin creating meaningful change.

Let’s be honest—starting therapy or entering treatment can feel intimidating. But the fact that you’re here already says so much about your strength and determination. My focus is on making sure you feel safe, understood, and empowered as we figure out the next steps together.

Hello, I'm Stefanie Young, an Army brat, born in Germany and a Gulf War Veteran. I've spent my entire career in and around first response: military, military police, and civilian law enforcement which has truly shaped my approach to therapy by understanding the culture, the pressures that come with it, and what it takes to finally talk to someone.

My practice is a confidential, open space for adults working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, anger, and depression. If you're a first responder or veteran, you won't need to explain your world to me, I've lived it. And if you're not, you're equally welcome as well.
