About
I view mental health care as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and understanding. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings, my approach is centered on meeting each person where they are, recognizing their strengths, and providing compassionate, personalized treatment that supports healing, resilience, and improved quality of life.
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) and extensive experience providing psychiatric care across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and other mental health conditions. I partner with clients seeking greater stability, improved functioning, and a personalized treatment approach to support their mental health goals.
My approach integrates evidence-based treatment, medication management, CBT, supportive psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and individualized care planning. I work across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings to promote improved mental health outcomes.
My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your journey. I believe in partnering with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that promotes healing, stability, and growth. If you are ready to take the next step toward improved wellness, I welcome working with you.

As one who has experienced my own traumas, losses and other "bumps in the road" life throws at us, I can identify with others in distress and try to align with them in finding their personal path to healing and empowerment.
My name is Jeff Miller, and I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. My experience is varied—beginning in Cuyahoga County investigating allegations of abuse and neglect with extensive Juvenile Court involvement, then expanding to children and teens in foster care, residential treatment, and adoption settings. I have also worked with adults managing chronic or acute mental health conditions and dual diagnoses. I am open to working with most concerns, though depression and anxiety—often rooted in trauma and loss—are what I most typically address.
Building a therapeutic relationship and aligning with clients to find their “path” to healing is at the heart of my work. I help normalize certain feelings, and approach each person without judgment. I am honest and respectful of what a client can manage at any point in the process. Trust is developed and earned over time, and I fully understand that.
I look forward to meeting you and will always start from where you are. Our journey together will hopefully bring new understandings and positive life changes.

I believe that therapy should be viewed as a collaborative approach. You are the expert of your life and your experiences. As one who has experienced personal trauma, I have a true understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how empowering therapy can be.
I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at John Carroll University. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2010 and my Master of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2013. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with life transitions and stressors, burnout, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, as well as anyone who has a desire or wants to work on themselves or address any challenges they may be experiencing.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of therapy. I utilized a person-centered approach and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming place for my clients.
My hope is that clients feel heard and are comfortable bringing their concerns, anxiety, mood, trauma, or anything that is on their mind into therapy and know that it is a safe place for them to share. Scheduling that first appointment is often the hardest step. I look forward to working with you!

Reaching out for help is hard for a lot of folks, so as a clinical therapist, I think it's important that I not only bring my clinical expertise and authentic self to a session, but that my clients are provided relaxed, down-to-earth space where they can finally catch their breath and begin their healing journey.
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.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Lakewood, OH can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Lakewood therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety is a common mental health disorder, experienced by millions of US adults every single year. If you, like millions of others, are dealing with anxiety, know that help is available. Our anxiety therapists would be honored to help you manage your symptoms and pave the way to a happier, healthier life. Reach out today to schedule your first appointment.
The modern world is full of stressors that can provoke anxious thoughts and feelings. But it’s not healthy to feel constantly overwhelmed or incapacitated by worries. Anxiety can come from all directions in your life. It can take the form of exhausting questions that go around and around in your head. For example:
When you have severe anxiety, the stakes can seem really high, even when you’re making small, seemingly insignificant decisions. It’s not rational to think that buying the wrong brand of toothpaste in the morning could start a downward spiral that may lead to your dying in a fiery car crash later in the day, but this type of life-or-death thinking might be familiar to someone with an anxiety disorder.
Often anxiety disorders can bleed into other types of issues, like depression and sleep disorders, but here are the five main types of anxiety that a Thriveworks mental health provider might diagnose:
Specific anxiety disorders can be treated with therapy, psychiatric medication, or a fusion of both. Some clients at Thriveworks in Lakewood, OH benefit from therapeutic tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. You and your counselor can decide together which treatment or treatments are best for you. And your care can change over time. The goal is always to move you closer toward a happier, healthier life where you’re not constantly overwhelmed by anxious feelings.
Thriveworks clients recommend anxiety therapy to their friends because the sessions can significantly improve quality of life. Just imagine being able to leave the house without being paralyzed by fear and worry. Preventing anxiety attacks can mean preventing other physical, stress-related ailments, too. Anxiety therapy can be a way of treating the whole body, not just the mind.
Thriveworks accepts medical insurance, so anxiety treatment is affordable. Call Thriveworks today to schedule your first appointment and meet with your therapist within the week. We look forward to hearing from you.
