Trenton was originally called Bloomfield, but changed its name when it was discovered there was already a post office in Ohio by that name. Such changes were common in the founding and development of towns. Change is also common in life. Some change is good, while other change can be difficult. When you find life changing too fast for you, sometimes it can help to talk to someone outside the situation to get your bearings.
Trenton-area counselors are here for just that reason and more. Therapists can help you face the change happening in your life and help you come to terms with it so that you can move forward. Contact a counselor today.
Kimberly Hauser
As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I help adults navigate the complex emotions and transitions that come with modern life. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration — creating a space where you can reflect, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change — whether that’s navigating career shifts, redefining relationships, or rediscovering who they are after loss, separation, or burnout. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work with you to uncover patterns, strengthen resilience, and build practical tools for lasting growth. My style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with strength-based and solution-focused approaches, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. With an extensive background in clinical practice, I bring both expertise and genuine care to every session. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change — not just in how you cope, but in how you thrive.

Mary Van Hooser
I have a wide variety of experience in working with people who are feeling discouraged, overwhelmed and traumatized and are in need of support and coping skills. I also work with people with more serious and chronic mental health disorders by giving them support and encouragement to live in the community and live their life to the fullest. My approach is to help a person talk about their mental health at their own pace, what helps them feel safe and calm and how to do this in a way that makes them feel less stigmatized and gain support and strength through sharing their experience. I also enjoy working with family members of people that are in recovery for a serious mental illness. I have my own lived experience and feel it makes me more empathetic and understanding as a practitioner. I also am a veteran and can work with veterans by understanding some of their culture. I have been a social worker in the field of mental health for 35 plus years but more importantly I am a spouse, mother, sibling and co worker. I have experienced a lot including severe mental illness with a sibling, drug addiction with a family member, LGBTQ and teenage years. These are all people I love and have learned that life comes at people of all walks of life and I am very non judgmental because of that. I am good at putting myself in others shoes and have experienced first hand the stigma, stereotypes and misinformation people from all walks of like can encounter. My approach to helping others is to listen and explore current and past history to help gain insight and put problem solving, client-centered solutions into place. I am seen as having a calming influence on others and generally am able to get others to open up and share their concerns. I am a very open transparent person and I look forward to working with people from all walks of life. Please consider me in your selection of a therapist and I will work hard to assist you in overcoming hardships and obstacles to reach a happier more fulfilling place in your life.
