(And it counts.)Does any of this sound like you?
Tap anything that fits. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. This part is just for you.
Nothing tapped yet. That's okay too.
You tapped .

Calm the system, then shift the story.
Anxiety keeps your body revved up. Depression can leave it running on empty. Either way, we start with your nervous system, then bring in skills you can actually use when things get hard.
Step 1
Find your baseline
Somatic tools help you notice the early signs of a spiral, like a clenched jaw or heavy limbs, and bring your body back toward steady.
Step 2
Catch the thought traps
CBT and Cognitive Processing Therapy help you question thoughts like "this will never get better" or "everyone is annoyed with me."
Step 3
Rebuild what gives you energy
Relational work on boundaries, connection, and small, doable changes, so feeling better lasts beyond the session.
What anxiety and depression therapy here feels like
Therapy works best when it feels like a real relationship. Here's what you can count on, on the good days and the hard ones.
At your pace
No timeline to hit. On low-energy days, sessions stay gentle. When you have more capacity, you can dig deeper.
You're the expert
You know your patterns better than anyone. Your therapist brings tools and a fresh angle. Sessions are a collaboration, never a lecture.
Gently challenging
Support doesn't mean just nodding along. When you're ready, your therapist will kindly nudge you to try something new.
No surprises
You'll know what each session is for and what's coming next. Fewer unknowns means less for your anxiety to fill in.
Always welcome back
Some seasons you'll need more support, some less. If you step away for a while, the door stays open.

Gentle reminders for the hard days
Feelings are visitors, not forecasts.Why Empower Wellness is private pay
Paying out of pocket is a real investment. Here's what it gets you, and how superbills can help you get some of it back.
- A diagnosis is required just to start, and it becomes part of your insurance record.
- Your plan can limit how many sessions you get or which approaches are covered.
- Treatment has to keep proving it's "medically necessary."
- You're limited to therapists in your plan's network.
- You and your therapist decide what therapy looks like, together.
- Nothing is shared with an insurer unless you choose to submit a superbill.
- Session frequency fits your life and your nervous system, not a policy.
- You get specialized trauma care, whether or not we're in your network.
3 questions to ask your insurance
- Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
- Have I met my out-of-network deductible this year?
- What percentage do you reimburse for CPT code 90837?
Superbills include a diagnosis code, which insurers need for reimbursement. Reimbursement isn't guaranteed and depends on your plan.
Getting started is simpler than you think.

Questions people often ask
Still wondering about something? Ask it on the form and our team will answer it personally.
Ask your questionCan therapy help with anxiety and depression at the same time?
Yes. They often show up together, and many of the same tools help with both. Therapy here looks at the whole picture instead of treating them separately.
Do I need a diagnosis to start?
No. You don't need a diagnosis or the right words. "I've been feeling off" is a perfectly good place to begin.
What if I don't have the energy for therapy right now?
That's really common, especially with depression. Sessions are online, so there's no commute, and on low-energy days your therapist will keep things gentle.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. Empower Wellness provides therapy only. If you're wondering whether medication could help, you can talk with your therapist about next steps, including working with a prescriber.
Does online therapy work as well as in person?
For many people, yes. Being in your own space can make it easier to relax and open up. On your free call, you can talk through whether online therapy feels right for you.
Who do you work with?
Adults 18 and older who live in Ohio, in individual therapy. Empower Wellness has a special focus on the LGBTQ+ community and on people living with trauma and chronic illness.
Do you take insurance?
Empower Wellness is private pay and provides superbills, which you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Check with your plan about your benefits.
What if I stop therapy and want to come back later?
You're always welcome back. Life happens, and progress isn't a straight line. Just reach out when you're ready.
