Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lakewood, 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.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida and Ohio with 14 years of direct counseling experience. Supporting and guiding clients through difficult traumas and life's challenges in a safe and nonjudgmental environment is what I strive for.

My goal is to assist children, adolescents, and adults to reach their highest potential and to help couples and families live more harmonious and joyful lives together.

My passion is to support, uplift and encourage those in my community. Let's work together to start living a better-quality life one session at a time.

Hi I am Marya and I’m an LPCC and LICDC, specializing in co-occurring disorders and trauma. I have worked with various populations including juveniles, domestic violence victims, child advocacy, and adults with substance use issues. I look forward to helping you work toward your goals!

I created Growing with Grace Counseling Services to serve the community as a loving, inclusive, & accepting space for all. I have been a therapist for 8 years and have seen patients thrown around to different providers, feeling unheard, stuck, & lost. My goal is to create a space where patients know they will be treated with true care. It's a place where I am just as excited to watch you grow as you are, and you and I will be partners in this journey.

• 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.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.
