Therapists in Avon, OH

Life is going to happen; but how are you going to handle it?. My name is Dr. VonTija Dean-EL; licensed independent social worker and owner of Empowered Souls Counseling and Consulting. I have over fourteen years of experience helping and supporting individuals navigate life transitions. At Empowered Souls Counseling and Consulting; I focus on empowering individuals 65+ and their caregivers to tackle transitions of life that often occur as we age. I focus on utilizing an individual's strengths to help them achieve their desired change.

I am excited to provide online therapy. I have helped individuals with symptoms of depression; suicide ideation; personality disorders; chemical dependency; trauma; PTSD and other debilitating mental health struggles. I have helped individuals reintegrate back into society after a long period of being overseas or incarcerated. I have helped individuals work on self-acceptance; expanding on their dreams and becoming a better person; developing a new perspective of life- Full of gratitude and grace. Learn how to truly love yourself; even when society refuses to accept your differences.

My passion for counseling stems from wanting to help each person learn to achieve their “Best Life”. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. I strongly believe that each person “Lives what they know” and sometimes may struggle to change without help. I want to help each person effect that change within themselves and in their lives. I offer clients deep empathic listening; nonjudgmental acceptance; and therapeutic genuineness. My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable; collaborative relationship with my clients; and to provide a safe space to help each client evaluate their concerns.

It takes courage to recognize when you need help; and I feel that asking for help is a significant strength. For this reason; I love what I do because I can see first-hand the positive impact on a person's mental health from the moment they take that first step to reach out and talk with someone. I enjoy working with clients to help them achieve their goals; overcome barriers; and help them cope with life stressors in order to improve their overall well-being. I will draw on both life and clinical experience as we move in a positive direction together.
