Hi, my name is Don Wess. I am licensed in OH to provide clinical therapy. I have master’s degrees in psychology and sociology. and a certificate (C.A.G.S.) that attests to a significant number of doctoral studies. My special interest is in the healing of trauma and its usual symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational issues. My experience with developmental levels gives added meaning to our work together. In therapy we focus on body, mind, emotions, and spirit, discover more of a true Self, and bring greater clarity, balance, and fulfilment to life. I hope to be working with you.
Don Wess, PCC-S

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
