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.

Hi! I'm Ash. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, and I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood—not judged. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" people. I believe every person already has strengths; sometimes life, trauma, stress, or difficult experiences simply make them harder to see. My role is to help you rediscover those strengths, better understand yourself, and build practical tools that support the life you want to create. Throughout my career in community mental health, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and the everyday stress of balancing life's many responsibilities. I've also worked alongside individuals experiencing housing instability, community violence, and other systemic barriers that can make healing feel even more difficult. One of the things I value most is meeting people exactly where they are. Therapy isn't something I do to you—it's something we build together. I believe my clients teach me just as much as I hope to teach them, and I approach every person with curiosity, respect, and the understanding that no two stories are the same. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I strive to create a space where you can be honest about what's working, what isn't, and what you hope life could look like moving forward. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, and genuine. I care deeply about helping people recognize their resilience, advocate for themselves, and discover that they are capable of more than they may believe in difficult moments. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck, or simply looking for someone to walk alongside you, I'd be honored to support you. I believe healing happens one conversation at a time—and I'd be grateful to be part of your journey.

I am a blessed mom of 2 boys, with a loving spouse that supports me, and a world where I get to work with people that want support in their lives. Even with the life I live, there are many challenges that we have to navigate. I have 2 years of experience providing mental health services to the youth of today and because of my personal experiences, I have been able to connect with them and help them grow. All I can ask from my clients is to give me a chance to work with you as you navigate life challenges to find a life that's blessed. Therapy is something that has a flow. I may have an idea in mind for what to talk about, but your daily input is more important. Together we will flow through your emotions while facing opportunities to challenge the way you think and guide you to new possibilities; while managing heightened emotions. I use techniques from art therapy, narrative therapy, strength based and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) as a way to have all the tools in my toolbox that we may need. It's natural to have questions before your first therapy session. Our initial appointment is for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We'll review important information about the therapy process, discuss any questions you may have, and spend time exploring what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll develop a personalized plan that reflects your goals and supports your journey toward healing and growth. I know that reaching out for therapy isn't always easy, and I don't take for granted the trust it takes to share your story with someone new. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. My style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I'll meet you where you are, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, and work alongside you to build the skills and confidence needed to move forward.
