Veronica Dotson, MS, IMFT, MEd- Everyone experiences stress in a differentVeronica Dotson way. I believe most people want a better understanding of what they are feeling or experiencing at any given time. There are many frustrations that we face on a day-to-day basis and helping you through that is what I want to do. I specialize in working with children ages 3-10 but also work with adults and couples. I would like the opportunity to help you or your child explore new ways of thinking if you are struggling with behavior and impulse issues, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns or life changes that are causing extra stress. I use a collaborative approach when working with my clients and want them to be an integral part of the therapeutic process. It can be difficult to think about sharing life events and stressors with a stranger, especially for young children. Providing a safe space to process whatever you might be struggling with is an important part of my practice. Life can at times become overwhelming. Whether that is due to relationship issues, parenting concerns or just trying to work through whatever might be causing you distress. You do not have to do it alone; I would be glad to help you through your journey to better understanding and healing.

Elizabeth Kovalchin, CT– I am working towards a master’s degree and completing the Licensed Professional Counseling Program at University of Dayton. As a counselor in training, I have had the opportunity to learn about myself as a clinician and discover the numerous ways counseling contributes to a positive outlook on life. I believe life is a journey and there are often moments on that journey that can become challenging. While it can be easy to sweep life’s obstacles and challenges under the rug, it can be very beneficial to take those first steps in confiding in someone to listen to your story. I strive to be the safe, open listener for you and invite you to take steps on this journey towards healing at your own pace. I believe caring for the mind is of equal importance as caring for our bodies, and find it fascinating how the mind, body, and spirit are connected and must nurture one another. Counseling is not a “one size fits all” and I am eager to explore the best ways in allowing this journey to be unique to you. Whether you have concerns surrounding depression, anxiety, trauma, marriage infidelity, or beginning a new chapter in life, I am here to meet you where you are at in life. I look forward to hearing the goals you have and exploring how to best utilize your strengths in order to meet them.
