Carly Battaglia

Understood. Safe. Worthy. Hopeful. ______________________________ I aim to create a space where you can lose the filter and just be real about what's going on without feeling self-conscious. I am most experienced working with college-aged individuals, anxiety, survivors of trauma and/or abuse, grief and loss, perinatal and postpartum issues, life transitions, and relationship stressors. In a session with me, you can expect genuineness, high energy, compassion, transparency, and maybe even a laugh. While therapy is meant to be hard work and can be uncomfortable at times, I try to also make it a place of respite and comfort. I take an in-depth, individualized approach to counseling and very much value the therapeutic relationship we will build. We will explore not only the ways you are currently struggling but how you have struggled in the past and factors both within and outside of yourself that may be contributing to your distress, all while providing you with tools and strategies to make things feel much more manageable. My professional experience has been varied, from working in a college counseling center to a domestic violence agency as well as in assisted living and memory care facilities. In doing so, I have not only honed my clinical skills but I've also gained an enhanced perspective about the value of having a professional stand by you with warmth and without judgment when at your most vulnerable. For the last 7 years, I have worked with individuals in a private practice setting. ______________________________ A note about Telehealth: I have found that establishing the therapeutic connection I so value is just as possible virtually as it is in person (despite my initial resistance to the idea). I have also had clients very much enjoy the convenience of engaging in counseling from the comfort of their own home. As long as you are in the state of Ohio, we are able to meet using a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Not sure if virtual counseling is right for you or if we would be a good fit? Feel free to reach out using the "Contact Me" link at the top of this page to schedule a free 15 minute video or phone consultation.
