Hi, I'm Terri! A GenX cisgender severe ADHD neurospicy suburban mom from Toledo, Ohio. My journey from an HR executive into mental health has gifted me with unique insights into the human psyche.

This is the feedback I collected over the last 2 months.

Psychiatric Referrals for ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder

While my primary focus is providing individual counseling, some clients benefit from adding medication management to their care plan.   Some of our brains need help regulating our mood and, for some, medication is a great help.


For those navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, I offer trusted referrals to psychiatrists who can evaluate whether medication may be a helpful tool alongside therapy.


If your needs fall into those areas, I will help connect you with the right resources so you can receive the specialized support you deserve. 


My goal is always to ensure you get care that fits your unique situation and helps you move toward a healthier, more balanced life
