Life can be very difficult, at times, and situations develop when a person can feel "stuck" and have difficulty seeing a way out. I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling and aim to generate a comfortable environment which will eliminate that "under the microscope" feeling, some people tell me they fear when seeking counseling. I initiate counseling with person centered, solution oriented strategies, which will allow the client to begin taking steps toward relieving stress while generating hope for a more fulfilling future. I utilize, active and reflective listening, mirroring, Rational Emotive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as re-framing, and occasionally homework to help enable self motivation and the confidence to achieve personal life successes. I believe that people can learn the confidence to deal with many difficult situations, with encouragement, compassion, self understanding and the acquisition of new skills to approach problems which may arise in the future. Though I have studied and respect many religions and will do my very best to remain aligned with your personal beliefs, I do not provide religious counseling. I have a MA in counseling from the University of South Florida, with a focus on mental health. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in the State of Ohio. I started my career in Florida nearly 27 years ago and have my primary experience in dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD and bipolar disorder . I have extensive experience helping adult survivors of abuse as well as having presided over a group home for sexually abused girls. I am not formal or rigidly structured in my counseling method. I believe in treating each person individually and it takes a bit of time to learn about each person's perceptions and history. I work toward being compassionate, understanding and patient in my efforts to help you discover solutions for problems you are experiencing. I look forward to working with you!
Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo
My name is Froogh Khatibloo and I am a Licensed professional Clinical Counselor with over 20-years of experience providing psychotherapy/counseling, harm reduction services for adolescents and adults in State of Ohio and I am happy to share the wealth of knowledge I have gained during my decades in community mental health. I am currently listed as network providers of multiple health insurance company panels as well as EAP plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and Bureau of Workers Compensations. I offer therapy for individuals or couples that are experiencing life transition and enjoy the challenge of working with wide range of people and their concerns. I do however, have some specific interest and areas of expertise. I am trained in and practiced from harm reduction perspective, meeting people where they are at their struggle with alcohol and substance abuse concerns and helping them set their goals for change. I blend cognitive behavioral technique, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness practice to address depression, anxiety, and mood disorders with a exploitation of the underlying cause of distress. I prioritize creating safe spaces where survivors access their natural resilience promote healing to recover from trauma and loss. I use motivational interviewing techniques to help people get unstuck from the patterns that trouble them most and make desired changes in their lives to change their habit and setting their goals. I help people with employment and career consultation to recover from job loss, change careers, deal with workplace, apply for disability, and address creative blocks. I provide an accepting space for discovery in which people can explore their identity by learning who they are, where they are going, and who they want to be. I teach interpersonal skills and copying tools to help people to learn anger management and conflict resolution, so that they can communicate assertively and improve their relationships. I welcome everybody and I am particularly interested in inviting those who may not feel as comfortable in all treatment spaces: members of LGBT communities, people wanting to talk about size acceptance, people of color, and members of marginalized groups. Additionally, I am able to provide clinical supervision for unlicensed mental health professionals, graduate students, and consultation for peers seeking additional assistance.

I believe every person has a story, and every story has purpose. Your experiences matter. Who you are matters. We all have things that become obstacles, but it is when those obstacles interfere with our ability to live each day to its fullest that we need support to address them. I have worked with all people of all ethnicities, religious affiliations, ages, and states of health to address anxiety, depression, and stressful social dynamics. I provide a safe non-judgmental space to share what is in your heart, and work together to process that into actionable steps for improving daily life, in whatever way that means for you. I have used motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, Labyrinth work and guided imagery as specialized ways to uncover and process emotions and issues.

Hello! I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and I truly believe that life is a journey meant to be explored with intention and care. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I see therapy as a space to pause, reflect, and invest in yourself. I believe God meets us in every season of life, and each season brings opportunities to learn, grow, and heal. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through many different chapters—helping them build coping skills, make sense of what they’re experiencing, and find moments of peace and joy even during difficult times. No matter where you are right now—whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or simply searching for deeper meaning—I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you’re ready, I’d love to connect and begin this journey together.

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.
