Who we are

Todd and Heidi met in graduate school in 1990 at Illinois State University in Bloomington, IL in the Counseling Psychology master’s program. They both graduated with a MS in counseling psychology.

After working and living in the Chicago suburbs for a couple of years, they moved to Columbus. They went through the University of Dayton’s Counselor Education program as the rules in Ohio were different for licensure. They obtained their MSE and went on to get their LPCC’s (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor)

Todd and Heidi both worked at CompDrug, Todd for 21 years and Heidi for 18 years. They both completed the EMDR training and have a lot of experience in working with people who have been through trauma and grief. Heidi went through Brene Brown’s training and became a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and ran groups for many years on shame resilience and vulnerability. Both Heidi and Todd received their LICDC during their time at CompDrug (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor).

They both then worked at Affirmations Psychological Services for over 5 years working with the LGBTQIA population as well as continuing to focus on their work with trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety.

Both Heidi and Todd have a sense of humor that shows up in their work, helping people heal through laughter.
