IS COUNSELING FOR ME?
If you can say yes to any of these thoughts, you may want to consider counseling:
Life seems hard. I’m sad a lot. Worry consumes me. I’m mad all the time. I can’t control what I do.
It can be a personal path to aid you in the healing journey. Would you like to move towards fullness and freedom?
WHY TRY COUNSELING?
Sometimes, we just need a different perspective to help us see the truth.
Life can be weary and overwhelming. And, sometimes we can’t figure out why we feel the way we do. It feels like a downward spiral of negative self-talk or hurtful emotions. When we begin down that path, our energy levels drop, relationships start to show signs of fracture, and negative thoughts can take over. We want to get off this cycle.
If life seems to be out of control, or even if you can’t identify what the barriers are, counseling can change your life by working through these struggles – even the ones that seem insurmountable.
Counseling can be your first step.
HOW DOES IT WORK? WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Counseling is a personal process.
I work with adults and couples, diving into hard topics to prepare you for the work of healing. Our relationship requires trust and I will be your partner and navigator, though first we must get to know each other. We start with a consultation, defining the foundation for our future time together. From there we will establish our next steps. Together we will build a strategy to help you live to your potential. I may offer feedback and suggestions for “home”work though I want your thoughts and insight regarding this work also.
At its most effective, counseling sessions are a place where deep sharing happens. Just like any good relationship, special consideration is made to reflect the unique aspects of the individual/couple. Using a holistic approach allows me to utilize methods and strategies that best fit you and your life.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Patsy Andow-Plum
I am an Ohio licensed professional counselor having received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University.
I’m a nature lover and enjoy being out in the woods exploring God’s world. As a professional Registered Architect, I like creating through hands-on experiences. I also express myself through music; singing, playing the piano, and ballroom dancing. My husband and I have 4 children and 7 grandchildren. On great weather days, you may see us out riding on our motorcycle.
