I am Tammy a professional clinical counselor - licensed in Ohio with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health and addictions field. I started my private practice Hearts To Minds about a year ago as it has been a long dream to inspire others and create a safe place for those who want to come along on a positive journey. I like helping people that like helping themselves and knowing their worth. I became a counselor for many reasons and one of those is a profound early loss of my mother. I learned along the way that anything is possible and to persevere through it all as hope comes a long way!

Hi, I'm Connie. For years I specialized in trauma treatment and I've come to believe that just healing trauma isn't enough...you deserve more. The approach I use is twofold: Together we will gently unwind the trauma that causes you pain, while also connecting with the intuition and intelligence of the body. As trauma heals, there is more room for aliveness, freedom, and a sense of purpose that naturally help you move to the life you long for.

Are you a former gifted kid struggling to fulfill your potential due to debilitating perfectionism? Have therapists told you you're "so self-aware" or that you've "graduated" therapy because they've tried all they know, but you're still not feeling any better? You probably already know your attachment style, you know all the basic coping skills, you know your "problems" inside and out...but somehow this hasn't helped you make any meaningful progress. You're ready to finally alchemize emotions that have been stagnant for too long, and you need someone who will be in the trenches with you, not just tell you what to do.

It's a tough spot to be in when you don't know how to fix your problems. The more lost you feel, the more overwhelmed you get. You probably think something is wrong with you. Your relationships and work are suffering. The thing about it all is that you're not alone. Men tend to be at a loss when it comes to dealing with their emotions and not knowing what to do with problems that never seem to get better. There's actually nothing wrong with you. You just need a few things to learn about who you are.

Maybe you're wanting to improve your relationships, navigate a life transition, better understand your emotions, or learn new ways to cope with depression or anxiety. You do not have to embark on this journey alone, connecting with a counselor is a great place to start.

Life is full of challenges and some of those challenges can feel overwhelming. Everyone can benefit from therapy/counseling to help navigate those challenges. Some of those challenges begin in early life as traumatic experiences, which, if not dealt with properly, can take the form of excessive fear, self-doubt, insecurities, social anxiety, defensiveness and addictions. My goal as a care provider is to help you recognize the signs, symptoms and assist you in finding and resolving the root cause in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
