*** In response to Governor DeWine's recent order allowing Ohioans easier access to telehealth services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our counselors will be offering either phone or video sessions. We recommend that you contact your insurance company to verify coverage for telehealth sessions.

Beginning March 2021, most of our counselors at both our main and annex locations will be providing IN-OFFICE sessions. All of our counselors will also continue to offer telehealth (phone and/or video) sessions. 

We encourage you to contact our main office at 330-499-3065 to discuss all of your options for counseling services. 

We want to ensure that we keep you, your family and our staff healthy.  We ask that you do not enter our buildings if you have been experiencing symptoms of any illness.  We are also encouraging social distancing in our waiting areas.  Additionally, our buildings are being cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis.  Please let us know other ways in which we can accommodate your therapeutic and health-related needs at this time.
