Who and Why
Embedded Files
Wow, I am so very humbled and excited in writing this today. The dream of starting my own practice seemed so far away just a few years ago. First, let me introduce myself: My name is Lisa and I'm a lifelong resident of Northeast Ohio. I am a proud grandmother, mother, sister, and wife.
Having lived my own journey with ups and downs, I knew for most of my years that my ambition was to be able to serve and help others. With a lot of hard work (and some great support) I was given the opportunity to achieve my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Akron. I was then accepted into the accelerated Master's Degree program there, and soon found myself ready to start my path as a Licensed Social Worker.
Over the years I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge and experience from the various capacities of work that I have been fortunate enough to find.
My path led me to working with diverse youth in sheltered facilities, partnering with our local courts to assist juveniles through Multisystemic Therapy, outpatient care with adolescence in school, adults within an office setting, and specialized techniques to assist individuals and families with developmental disabilities.
During this time, I was able to adapt and add to my clinical repertoire, where I would not only become a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation and a trained EMDR therapist, but most importantly, grow my passion for real change for those suffering from Mental Health.
I am thankful for all that has been given to me professionally in these years and know that I would not be ready for this step without the tremendous growth I have earned along the way. Today I find myself with the great opportunity to continue to expand my hope for the individuals of this county and the next.
My promise to you is that I will bring an unrivaled passion to do what I can to assist you however you may need. While I may not be able to fix every dynamic that comes my way, I can tell you that by meeting you where you are, hearing you, and applying all that I have, I will work tirelessly to try.
In my years, I have met so many amazing counselors and should I believe that there is someone more suited for your specific situation, then I will ensure you get the best therapy for success.
In the end, my dream is not only to start this private practice, but to be part of a better and healthier community for the future.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, sick, or exhausted? Perhaps this is your first time reaching out for help, or maybe you're feeling as if nothing has ever worked, and never will. Unraveling the root causes of our suffering and discomfort requires some gentle detective work, emotional safety, creativity, and support. The opportunity to offer these healing dynamics to you is my honor. Let's work together to dream up the life you've always wanted to live, and finally step into it with grace, beauty, and love.
My approach to assisting others in their healing is much like weaving. First, we will delicately sort through your past and current thoughts, memories, relationships, beliefs, and dreams. Then we will update and integrate them utilizing somatic EMDR techniques, mindfulness meditation, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also offer Heart Centered Hypnotherapy to assist in quickly and powerfully examining and modifying subconscious patterns and behaviors.
Being honest with ourselves about our goals, our dreams, and motivations is a journey in itself. Together we will work diligently to explore and clarify your deepest intentions for healing and how we can bring them to fruition. During our first session, I look forward to learning about you--how you experience your past and present, and what you would like to see in your future. We will discuss which therapeutic techniques can and will be utilized to meet your goals. I will also answer any questions you may have about myself and my approach. We are all at different points in our healing journey–perhaps you will need a few sessions to get back on track, or we will work together for many months or years to come. Please don't hesitate to reach out to explore if working together may be a great fit.

NEW THERAPIST COMING SOON!!!
Taylor Starcher, LSW
Hi, I’m Taylor Starcher, LSW, and I’m so excited to begin this new chapter serving the community that has always been home to me. Having grown up in this area, it means so much to now give back in a meaningful way by supporting the people and families in the community that helped shape who I am.
My passion for helping others is what led me to this work, and I feel incredibly grateful to build a career centered around connection, healing, and growth. My professional background includes working in both mental health and substance use treatment, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. That experience has deepened my belief in the resilience of people and the importance of creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to heal and grow.
As a therapist, I strive to create an environment where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in authenticity. I believe therapy is one of the most meaningful spaces for self-discovery, healing, and lasting change, and I feel honored to walk alongside clients in that process.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a fiancé, a mom to my daughter, and a proud pet parent to my fur babies — all of whom keep life full, joyful, and grounded. In my free time, I love getting lost in a good book, spending time outdoors hiking, and soaking up quality time with my family. These parts of my life keep me connected to what matters most and continue to inspire the empathy and compassion I bring into my work every day.
