Have you been wondering if ADHD might explain more than you realized? That is exactly the kind of clarity Rachel helps clients find. Rachel provides ADHD evaluations and medication management for adults, drawing on five years of experience as an addiction medicine nurse to support clients who may also be navigating substance use concerns. She was diagnosed with ADHD herself at age 10, so she understands firsthand what it feels like to go without answers for too long. Outside of sessions, Rachel’s life revolves around her rescue dog, Fletcher, and spending time with her niece and nephew. If you are ready for a thorough, structured ADHD evaluation from someone who truly gets it, Rachel is now accepting new clients. Reach out through our website or call the office to get started.
Not everything that works gets the recognition it deserves right away. Spravato is one of those things and we are not waiting twenty years to talk about it. Spravato is changing what treatment resistant depression actually looks like for real people. FDA approved, covered by most insurance, and available right here in Westlake at Strive CLE Counseling. If traditional antidepressants have not been enough, this might be the chapter that changes everything. Reach out through our website to learn if Spravato is right for you.
Have you spent your whole life thinking you were just forgetful, messy, or bad at adulting? What if there was actually a reason for all of it? ADHD in adults looks nothing like most people expect and for a lot of people the signs were there long before anyone connected the dots. Adult ADHD evaluations are now available at Strive CLE Counseling. It's a structured four session process that gives you real answers, real clarity, and a real path forward, so there's no more guessing. Just answers. Reach out through our website to get scheduled.
✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Giang ✨ Most of us were never taught how to feel our feelings. We were just taught to keep moving, and when nobody shows you how to actually be with your emotions, you learn to outrun them instead. The problem is they always catch up to you. There is a different way and it is a skill you can actually learn. Our team at Strive CLE Counseling can help you build a healthier relationship with your emotions. Reach out through our website to get started.
We are saying it with love...just put the phone down. We know. We know. Nobody wants to hear it. 😂 But the research does not lie and neither do we. No contact after a breakup is not about punishing the other person. It is about giving your nervous system the space it needs to actually heal instead of staying in a cycle that keeps reopening the wound. Your brain cannot move on when it is still getting inputs. Every text, every check of their Instagram, every “just one more look” tells your nervous system the threat is still there. If you are navigating a breakup and need support that does not involve checking their location, our team at Strive CLE Counseling is here. Reach out through our website to get started.
AI could never replace us and we will die on that hill. Some things can't be automated and sitting with another human in their hardest moments is one of them. Look, AI can do a lot of things. But, it can't sit across from someone in their hardest moment and make them feel genuinely understood. It can't read into what someone is not saying or hear their tone. It can't build the kind of relationship that actually makes healing possible. Therapy works because of human connection. Full stop. That is one thing algorithm or chatbot is ever going to replicate. Reach out through our website to connect with a real human therapist at Strive CLE Counseling.
OCD does not always look the way people expect. It can show up as intrusive thoughts, checking, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and mental rituals that feel impossible to control. The compulsions feel like relief in the moment. Over time they actually make the cycle stronger. The good news is Exposure Response Prevention therapy targets the cycle itself and it works across every subtype of OCD. ✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Lindsey ✨ If OCD has been running the show, it does not have to stay that way. Reach out through our website to connect with our team at Strive CLE Counseling.
If you have tried everything and still feel stuck, you are not out of options. You might just not have tried the right one yet. EMDR works differently than traditional talk therapy. It works directly with the nervous system to help your brain process what words alone could not reach. A lot of people come to EMDR as a last resort and leave wondering why nobody suggested it sooner. Our trained therapists at Strive CLE Counseling are here when you are ready. Reach out through our website to learn more.
Turns out the thing you kept putting off was exactly the thing you needed. Rude honestly. 😂 The most common thing people say after their first EMDR session is some version of “why did I wait so long.” It is one of those therapies that sounds strange on paper and then does something in the room that is really hard to explain until you experience it yourself. Not because it is mysterious. Because healing that actually reaches the places words could not get to feels different than anything else. If you have been curious about EMDR but keep putting it off, consider this your sign. Our trained therapists at Strive CLE Counseling are here to walk you through it at your own pace. Reach out through our website to get started.
You shouldn’t have to figure out ADHD on your own. That’s why our evaluation brings two sets of eyes to your case, not just one. It gives more perspective, fewer guesses, and a plan that actually makes sense for your life. Now scheduling for July. Financing options are available. Reach out through striveclecounseling.com to get started.
