It reflects a commitment to making meaningful progress in areas such as personal growth, achievement, or self-improvement. At Strive CLE Counseling, we embrace this philosophy by meeting clients where they are and supporting them on their journey toward growth and wellness.

We are growing and we are looking for two therapists to grow with us. 💙 Strive CLE Counseling is not your average private practice. We are a clinically strong, collaborative team that genuinely cares about the people who work here just as much as the clients we serve. Here is what we are looking for in our next team members. You are a licensed therapist in Ohio (LPC, LPCC, LPCC-S, or LISW) with a master’s degree and a passion for doing meaningful clinical work. You thrive in a team environment, welcome feedback, and bring curiosity and warmth to everything you do. You are comfortable with digital systems, committed to thorough documentation, and ready to work in a hybrid model with the ability to commute to our Westlake location. And here is what Strive brings to you. Flexible scheduling and a healthy work-life balance. Competitive pay ranging from $60,000 to $85,000 annually. Paid time off and paid holidays. On site supervision for LPCs working toward independent licensure. Full EMDR I and II training plus access to on site CEUs. Marketing and networking support to help you build your caseload. An office manager and supervisors on site for clinical and administrative support. Credentialing with major insurance companies and local hospital systems. And a newly designed modern office environment offering the newest treatments in mental health care including Spravato, psychiatric services, and adult ADHD evaluation. We have built something special here and we are looking for people who want to be part of it. If this sounds like the kind of place you have been looking for, we would love to connect.

✨Therapist Tip with Kimmi✨ Anxiety can sometimes trick us into thinking we’re in danger, even when we’re safe. Instead of immediately trying to escape the feeling, try pausing for a moment. Let your body experience the emotion without running from it. Often, it will pass more gently than we expect. How do you like to calm your anxieties? 💭 Need help building coping skills? Send us a message, we’re here to support you. 💬
This work is everything, hallelujah. 🩵
If you have ever felt like you understood your trauma completely but still felt stuck, anxious, or reactive, you are not doing it wrong. Your brain can understand something your body has not caught up to yet. Trauma is not just a memory. It is a pattern your nervous system learned to protect you. And healing means going back and showing your body that the danger is over. This is the kind of work Bethany does at Strive CLE Counseling. Trauma informed, person centered, and grounded in creating the kind of safety that makes real change possible. If your nervous system has been running the show and you are ready to change that, Bethany is currently accepting new clients. Reach out through our website to get started. 💙
Healing your relationship with food is not about willpower. It is about having the right support. Gabrielle is currently accepting new clients. Reach out through our website to get started.
Real change tends to sneak up on you in the quietest moments. 👇 Most of the time it looks like ordinary moments that only you know the weight of. The small decisions, the quiet realizations, the days you kept going when you genuinely did not want to. Those things count; even when they do not feel like enough. You’re further along than you think.
✨Therapist Tip Tuesday with Raquel✨ Keeping your care connected matters. When your providers can communicate, with your consent, it helps create a more seamless, supportive treatment experience. A simple step: make sure you have signed a release of information so your care team can stay in the loop and work together for you. Have you completed your ROI forms with your providers? 💭 Let us know in the comments or connect with Strive Counseling for support, guidance, or next steps.
The things people called your personality were actually your trauma responses. And nobody told you. Save this. You are going to need it. 1️⃣ Crying easily, not weakness. A nervous system that has been carrying too much. 2️⃣ Shutting down in conflict, not disrespect. A body that learned chaos meant danger. 3️⃣ Being “too clingy” not neediness. A fear of abandonment that started in childhood. 4️⃣ Seeking constant reassurance, not attention-seeking. A nervous system still searching for safety. 5️⃣ Overexplaining yourself, not drama. A pattern built around avoiding conflict at all costs. 6️⃣ Getting irritated quickly, not moodiness. Emotional exhaustion with nowhere left to go. 7️⃣ Laughing at the wrong moments, not immaturity. A body finding the only release it knows. 8️⃣ Zoning out mid-conversation, not rudeness. A nervous system escaping what feels like too much. 9️⃣ Avoiding eye contact, not shyness. A body that learned visibility was not always safe. 🔟 People-pleasing, not kindness. A survival pattern built around believing your needs came last. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are not immature. At Strive CLE Counseling we help people in Cleveland trace these patterns back to where they started and finally work through them. Reach out through our website when you are ready. 💙
Art therapy is not about what you create. It is about what it unlocks. ❤️🧡💛 Creativity gives your nervous system a different way to process what is hard to hold. For many people it opens doors that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot. Linda Wilt, LPC, ATR-P offers both counseling and art therapy at Strive. You do not need to be an artist. You just need to be willing to try. Linda is currently accepting new clients. Schedule through our website to get started. 💙 striveclecounseling.com
