It has been such an honor to work this past 30 years with clients in Dublin and Northwest Columbus as a Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. It seems like just yesterday that I was starting out in the establishment of what in time became Solutions Counseling. I am very grateful for the thousands of clients who have trusted me with their concerns and struggles so that together we could seek more creative ways forward when stressors and challenges were getting in their way. I am now partially retired and maintaining a reduced clinical caseload via teletherapy. I still live in Ohio but have moved to the southwest part of the state to be closer to family members. (Time waits for no one). I still believe that people possess the ability to create change for themselves and that even the most intractable problem patterns can over time be changed or at least managed more effectively. However, most of us at some point need some help. I continue to believe that psychotherapy is essentially about solving problems and can be very useful in large part by helping people to “view their situation differently” or “do their situation differently.” With the more limited time that I now have available to devote to psychotherapy I find it continues to interest and energize me. I am not at this time taking new clients but I am taking return clients. Thus, if you worked with me 25 years ago and would like to return, that can very possibly be worked out. I am still on several insurance panels, three EAP panels, and a number of clients of course pay out of pocket. If you have kept my cellphone number please feel free to reach out by text message. If you do not have it, you can leave a message at the main Solutions Counseling phone number and they will assist you in reaching me. By the way, I am very pleased with the leadership being provided by Steve Guglielmi, the new owner of Solutions Counseling, moving the clinical work of Solutions Counseling forward in a positive fashion. I am happy to continue to be a part of the team. Best wishes to all!
