In order to maintain a safe and healthy environment, we ask that you do not come to the office if you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, or body aches. We offer telehealth as an option if you do not wish to cancel your session.

Individual & Couples Therapy
We specialize in treating people ages 14+ in areas including, but not limited to, trauma/PTSD, grief/loss, depression and other mood disorders, addictions, relationship/family/parenting issues, codependency, life transitions, identity concerns, and stress management. We also offer individual and family therapy for children ages 5+.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals overcome the distressing effects of trauma. It is evidence-based, powerful (yet non-invasive), and can be rapid. It seems to stimulate the stored information in order to allow the brain to reprocess the experience(s).
Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that allows children to process their feelings and resolve conflicts through play. It is a form of treatment that can help with exploring and expressing difficult emotions, improving communication, and developing problem-solving and coping skills in a developmentally appropriate way.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between clients and specially-trained animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, or other species. Here at Aspire Counseling, we have Ivy, a 6-year-old Goldendoodle (dog). The primary goal of AAT is to improve the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive well-being of clients.
CSED Waiver Evaluations
The Children with Serious Emotional Disorder Waiver (CSEDW) program is designed to keep children with their families in their homes and communities rather than requiring placement in care facilities or group homes. Our role in the CSEDW program involves conducting Independent Evaluations (IEs) for individuals ages 5-21.
Mental Health, Substance Use Disorder, and DOT SAP Assessments
Every new client receives a comprehensive evaluation upon initiating services at Aspire Counseling. However, there may be circumstances that call for more specialized assessments, such as those required by employers, professional licensure boards, CPS, etc., and we have clinicians credentialed to provide such assessments.
Telehealth
Internet-based telehealth therapy is available to clients in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, and Illinois. These sessions take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video/audio platform managed by our EHR. Telehealth allows you to access quality mental healthcare from the comfort of your own home through your computer or smart device, which can be especially beneficial for people with disabilities or living in remote areas.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Services
EAPs are offered through some employers and insurance companies, and we are paneled with HealthAdvocate and Lyra. Others may be available upon request. Consult your HR department or your insurance company. Sessions are confidential, and no information can be released to your employer without your written consent.
Clinical Supervision, Professional Consultation, and Workshops
We provide professional consultation, seminars, workshops, and in-service trainings on a variety of topics upon request. We also have staff credentialed to provide clinical supervision for professionals seeking licensure and/or certification in professional counseling and addiction counseling in West Virginia, Ohio, and Illinois.
