Introduction

Hi There~ my name is Melissa Foster, I am an LISW-S serving Ohio virtually as well as those in Central Ohio in-person. I have a primary focus of those struggling with trauma (which can really be just about anything), those seeking healing through EMDR, those in the LGBTQIA population, and those in the helping professionals (first responders, teachers, nurses, doctors, techs, other cousnelors or therapists). I work with folks who are struggling to make sense of things, who have had past experiences (or recent) that have thrown them for a loop, struggling to handle the shit that life can bring. I offer typical 60 minutes sessions as well as extended sessions for those seeking to heal at a faster pace than just one time a week. I use mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, polyvagal informed approaches. I am a mom of two young kiddos and know that life can be hard and life our past experiences can come up in every aspect of our life. If you're interested in working togther, I offer a free 10 minute consult to see if we might be a good fit for eachother.
