Hi, My name is Paige Cromer. Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me. I am a licensed mental health counselor. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and my master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Cincinnati. I have worked with college students and adults focusing on substance use disorders and mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and other life stressors.
In my graduate school training, I studied a wide variety of therapeutic modalities, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. When working with individuals, I use a person-centered approach that allows you, the client, to take direction and help choose areas in which we focus.
My counseling philosophy is cultivating wellness through conscious awareness, deliberate practice, and healing relationships. I trust that people are self-actualizing and can thrive when they nourish their bodies and minds through self-care. As a therapist, it is my job to create a safe space to explore old wounds or current difficulties in life. Our work is rooted in trust, empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. Mental suffering is part of the human condition; nevertheless, we can alleviate some pain through radical acceptance and self-compassion. Life teaches us to adapt and survive, utilizing various coping methods and mentalities. Sometimes, our behaviors and thoughts become maladaptive and cause us significant distress. Together, we can explore the hows and whys of your unique experience and practice new ways of perceiving that align with your definition of wellness.
I also love using creativity and humor in the counseling process. Some of my hobbies including hanging out with my corgi and cat, spending time in nature, trying new foods and thrifting.
