Heath is very responsive and is always there to support and push me to reach the goals we believe are best for me. After talking to Heath, I always feel he genuinely cares about helping me work on myself.

Reviewed March 2024

Heath has helped my wife and me to develop communication in our marriage that before counselling was either non-existent or mostly argumentative. He has helped me personally to work through a very difficult circumstance of my own making to reconnect emotionally with my wife of over 31 years.

More about Heath

Hey there! My name is Heath

I appreciate your courage to seek out help. I have enjoyed working in the mental health field for 9 years now and I'm licensed in the State of Ohio. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults from all backgrounds. I have experience working with an array of issues including depression, anxiety, anger control, and co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance use). I also have some experience working with trauma and grief and loss.

My approach is very person centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution focused. I have a genuine personality, a nonjudgmental attitude, and a friendly demeanor. I believe the most important factor is the client-counselor relationship. It is within this relationship that a person can begin to heal, find hope, and be encouraged through the change process.

If you are ready to receive help I am happy to be supportive and empower you through the process.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Heath. My husband and I look forward to our sessions with him weekly. He listens thoroughly to both of us, shows respect but chimes in and gives appropriate responses, advice, things to think about and options when trying to figure things out within our marriage. He is never pushy and is sincere always. He takes the time for both my husband and I whether it’s a session together or separate. Would love for him to ask more questions and dig deeper into issues All in all he’s great!

I was seeing a counselor in person for a few months and I just felt like it wasn’t working for me. I wasn’t getting anywhere with it. After only two sessions with Heath, I feel that we have made a lot more progress than I did the whole course of my previous counselor. He pin points my exact needs.

Heath was very calm and composed during our meetings which helped me enter a similar state which was nice.

He was also proactive about checking in with me to make sure I made full use of this service.

Heath is a great and supportive listener, very open-minded and good at sorting through my emotional, multi-directional rambling and calling attention to common threads. Our sessions leave me with plenty of food for thought. He responds to messages in a very timely manner and has been great about checking in with me when I go too long without being in touch. He also has a worksheet for just about everything, some of which I've found very useful. I feel very lucky to have been matched with such a great therapist so easily through this service.

Heath has been fantastic. I have been in counseling before with several different providers Heath has been my favorite. He was responsive, attentive, and properly challenging. He shared worksheets that were both relevant to my situation and insightful. While neither Heath’s verbal advise or the worksheeets directly solved my problems, both encouraged personal reflection. It was in that personal reflection where practical solutions were found. Thank you, Heath.
