Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Cincinnati, OH

Hi, I'm Mary Schehl, LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) with over 25 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families, who are overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship stress and unresolved trauma. I've worked in a variety of settings such as inpatient, home and community-based and for the past 11 years I've been in private practice. I bring my clinical expertise, authenticity and some light humor to our sessions together, providing a warm, non-judgmental space, where you can unpack what you're going through. 

My approach is collaborative and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness practices. You are the author of your own story and I'll go wherever you take me, while helping you build practical tools and have a better understanding of the root of your patterns.

It isn't easy to change one's perspective, nor does it happen immediately. It's a healing journey, not just a "process", and I would be honored to accompany you on this journey. If you think I'd be a good fit for what you're looking for and need in a provider, I invite you to take the next step by scheduling an appointment.

My name is Whitney Saunders and my professional background is social work and outpatient therapy. I have a Master's degree in social work as well as my Independent Social Work License. I have worked with children and families in some capacity since 2015. Since receiving my Master's degree in 2019, I have continued to serve children and families in outpatient therapy settings. I have worked with clients from the ages of five to 50 who have experienced or are experiencing PTSD, depression, and anxiety. In many of these cases, clients are seeking assistance with crisis stabilization or minimization of other mental health symptoms. 

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution-focused therapy, I have been able to assist many clients in achieving their goals of crisis stabilization, harm reduction, and overall minimization of mental health symptoms. 

The relationship you have with your therapist is what makes therapy successful. With that, I place emphasis on the rapport-building phase of treatment. The most important thing to remember is you are in control of your therapeutic process—I am here to SUPPORT and GUIDE.
