I am Norene Vello, I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Masters in Pastoral Clinical Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio and have been practicing 19 years. Life is a journey and at certain points, we all need guidance and direction to navigate the bumps and roadblocks along the way. We need fellow travelers to come alongside, to be present, to listen, guide and direct without judgement, criticism, or condemnation. If you allow me, I would like to be that person. I have collaborated with people ages 6-82 working to better understand themselves and make peace with their struggles using Cognitive and Achievement assessments, Mindfulness breathing exercises, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have participated in and co-facilitated small women's groups for 18 years using Biblical principles, Spiritual Mindfulness, meditation, prayer, journaling, art, nature, music, CBT, Positive Therapy and Psychotherapy. These groups have addressed issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, abuse, and self-destructive behavior patterns. My focus in Psychotherapy includes the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of self because when one part hurts all parts hurt. We are spiritual beings with a need to belong, loved, accepted, and have meaning and purpose to maintain and develop a sense of well-being which, starts in childhood and continues throughout life. My goals in every session are safety, peace, well-being, health, contentment, healing and wholeness in God. I welcome the privilege of walking with you and alongside you if you choose to invite me.

Life is not easy and if you've lived on Earth, that is a shared experience. It typically doesn't matter the background either, life can get tight and things go incredibly sideways very quickly. Things hurt, things don't make sense, and sometimes it's deep within us. That is where therapy is a critical solution and support. As a therapist, it brings me great joy to slowly build rapport to understand what needs to be heard and also see what is not being said. Therapy also allows me to use my natural ability to join, challenge, and teach, skills that make me who I am, the best fit for you. My undergrad education is in education and I do love to teach. I am a man of faith and that allows me to see and know the best in people regardless of circumstance, appearance, or other perceived barriers. I am a husband (of 20 years) and a father so I know family life and I embrace the strength and struggle of family. I subscribe to CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused modalities. I would love to join you on your journey to wellness.
