Male
LPCC-S, LICDC. Jeff grew up in Ohio, served in the Air Force for 22 years, living for much of that time in Europe, and then returned to Ohio. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Services and is currently a licensed professional clinical counselor, supervisor and a licensed chemical dependency counselor. Jeff has his master’s degree from Wright State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Jeffrey’s focus is on a variety of life issues that impede the unique potential of the individual. These include substance abuse and dependency, Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as major life events that happen to us all.
Jeffrey works with people from all walks of life including children, couples, and adults.
His approach to counseling is person centered / existential and is concerned primarily with a person’s goals, aspirations, and realization of meaning. Jeffrey views life “problems” not as impediments to attaining goals but as opportunities, through which one develops, grows, and evolves to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Person centered counseling is focused on the person and his or her goal, not the “problem” or “diagnosis”.
Person centered counseling is not a platform on which one seeks advice or fears being judged, as if “under the microscope”. Rather it is a collaborative conversation based on unconditional positive regard, in which counselor and client journey together towards the client’s realization of meaning and goals. Gaining insight through the collaborative conversation is the key.
