The State of Mental Health in Ohio
Ohio currently ranks 17th in the United States for mental healthcare. Ohio’s Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services (OhioMHAS), is responsible for improving upon their current mental healthcare system, and for providing the resources necessary to build resilience in their communities. OhioMHAS determines the standard of care that all Ohio residents can expect when they seek treatment from a licensed counselor or therapist. Currently, the OhioMHAS is working towards becoming a national leader in implementing a “comprehensive, accessible, and quality-focused system of addiction and mental health care and wellness for all Ohio citizens.”
OhioMHAS ensures that all residents have access to the resources that promote their well-being and ability to prosper. This includes access to therapists, psychologists, and counselors throughout the state. The issues on the forefront for OhioMHAS in 2020 include drug addiction, serious mental illness, trauma, depression and suicide risk, access to timely and coordinated crisis services, specific challenges involving the criminal justice system, and the impact of stigma on people living with mental illness and addiction.

I am a systems therapist. This means that I often see the problem as outside the client instead of a defect within them. I love helping people find new ways of feeling better and lessening the pain of tough circumstances.
