Columbus, Ohio therapist: Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc., counselor/therapist
Serving Black / African American

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.

Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. is a group of highly trained professionals providing mental health services based in Columbus, Ohio. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, focusing on young adults. We are also experts in LGBTQIA+ and ENM/ polyamory. Many of our clients have found great success in many facets of their lives but struggle to manage their emotions and stress. We are particularly sensitive to those experiencing life transitions like moving, a breakup, changing jobs, graduating, or beginning a new relationship when self-doubt and increased anxiety and depression can emerge. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so that they can begin making targeted and sustainable changes. Our clinicians blend person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and acceptance, and commitment therapy. We help clients understand their physical and emotional responses to stressors and learn to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change. Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. focuses on ensuring our clients see real progress. We are warm, laid back, and affirming. We are sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and we work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and self-compassion. Our priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. We offer the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.

Marrero, Louisiana therapist: Nicole Hammond Crowden, licensed clinical social worker
Serving Black / African American

Nicole Hammond Crowden

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD,LCSW-BACS
I have been a social worker for over 18 years and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. However, the last 8 years have been dedicated solely to mental and behavioral health as well as issues related to gender and sexuality. Whether its a person , couple, partnership or family, the issues are identified and together we work towards practical goals that will provide each individual with what they need in order to function. I have developed a style that combines a variety of techniques and treatment modalities. I understand that no two people are the same even if the circumstances appear similar. Therefore, my services are specific to you and are customized to fit your needs. Contrary to what you may believe or heard, you don't need a label or diagnoses to talk with a therapist or a counselor. You may need professional guidance to manage stress, need to modify your parenting style, adjust to life transitions or develop self awareness. I am attentive and available to listen. Just give me a call.
