Jacqulyn Rankin

Hello, I'm Michele Rankin, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervisory designation. I earned my master's degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Ursuline College, and I've been dedicated to helping individuals, families, and couples in Ohio for over a decade. My journey in the field of mental health has taken me to various settings, including homes, schools, offices, and telehealth, allowing me to meet clients where they are most comfortable and provide the support they need in diverse environments.

My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and healing. I prefer evidence-based approaches to help my clients achieve the goals they set for themselves. My treatment methods include person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, art therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused CBT. These modalities allow me to tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs and circumstances.

I specialize in working with clients who are dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, behavioral problems, relationship issues, and post-trauma difficulties. Whether you're navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking support for intimate relationships, I am here to help. I also provide support for those on the autism spectrum and offer perinatal support for pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum challenges.

When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative environment where your voice is heard and valued. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. My goal is to support you in achieving a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about the arts and believe in the healing power of creative expression. This passion often informs my therapeutic practice, especially when incorporating art therapy into sessions.

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey towards well-being, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create positive change and achieve your personal goals.
