Therapy Designed to Fit You

Ohio anxiety and trauma therapists at Benevolent Therapy, specializing in EMDR, Brainspotting, and people-pleasing recovery.

Every person’s story is unique. That’s why our therapy sessions are personalized to your goals, pace, and preferences.

We offer a range of services for individuals, couples, and families—and we always start by listening to what matters most to you.

  • A one-on-one space for reflection, growth, and healing. Whether you’re working through anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, trauma, or a major life change, individual therapy provides support for understanding your emotions and moving toward balance.

  • Relationships take work—and sometimes, guidance helps you find your way back to each other. We help partners rebuild communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen emotional

  • Family therapy creates a safe, neutral space to improve communication, process transitions, and resolve long-standing tension. We help families of all kinds develop healthier, more supportive relationships.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps people heal from past experiences that may still be causing them emotional pain or stress. It works by using guided eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation) to help your brain process and reframe difficult memories in a way that feels less overwhelming.

    This therapy is especially helpful for things like trauma, anxiety, overthinking, and even people-pleasing tendencies that come from hard life experiences. Think of it like tidying up your mind—helping you feel lighter and more in control of your emotions.

  • EMDR intensives are a concentrated form of EMDR therapy designed to achieve faster results in a shorter amount of time. Instead of weekly sessions, you’ll spend extended periods (like 2-4 hours) over a few consecutive days focusing on healing. This format allows for deep, uninterrupted work, helping you process and move past emotional pain more efficiently.

    Intensives are ideal if you want to see quicker progress, have limited availability, or feel stuck in traditional weekly therapy. They’re often used for things like trauma, anxiety, or people-pleasing, offering a focused and transformative experience in just a few sessions. Think of it like hitting the fast-forward button on your healing journey.

  • Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the deep connection between mind and body. When we experience stress or trauma, it often shows up not just in our thoughts and emotions but also in our physical body—through tension, pain, or restlessness. Somatic therapy helps you gently tune into these physical sensations to release stored stress, build awareness, and restore a sense of safety in your body. This approach can support healing from trauma, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself.

  • Brainspotting is a gentle but powerful therapy that helps uncover and heal the deeper roots of emotional pain, trauma, and stress. It’s based on the idea that where you look with your eyes can connect to parts of your brain where experiences are stored. By focusing on specific “brainspots” while staying connected with your therapist, your brain and body can naturally process and release what has been stuck. Brainspotting can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and create a greater sense of calm and clarity—without needing to retell every painful detail of your past.
