Big things are happening here at Strive CLE Counseling!
We’re expanding! Our new space which is set to open early December. It will focus on medical and psychiatric care, including Spravato treatment, and more advanced services designed to support your mental health journey from every angle.

This next chapter allows us to bring even MORE comprehensive, compassionate care under one roof, and we’re just getting started. New services are already in the works for 2026, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Thank you for growing with us and trusting us with your mental health needs!
“Come play with us…” 👀😬
Just kidding! Danielle may be giving spooky energy this Halloween, but we promise things at Strive are all treats, no tricks.
While the twins might haunt hallways, we’re all about helping you clear the mental cobwebs.
Depression can make every day feel a little haunted, but with treatments like Spravato, there’s light waiting just outside the shadows.
Because scary movies are fun and feeling trapped in your own mind isn’t.
We’re proud to join the @clefoodbank (Greater Cleveland Food Bank) in the fight against hunger through our Virtual & Drop Off Food Drive!

Right now, 1 in 7 people in Northeast Ohio are food insecure and unsure of where their next meal will come from. Every dollar donated helps provide three meals to our neighbors in need.

You can make a difference by donating in person at The Greater Cleveland Food Bank, online at http://greaterclevelandfoodbank.org/strive or at the Strive CLE Counseling office! 

Donations will be accepted through December 11, 2025.
Together, we can help ensure every family in our community has access to the nutritious food they deserve.
🌞 Therapist Tip from Kenzie: Step Outside for a Mental Health Boost

Spending time outdoors isn’t just enjoyable, it can have a real impact on your mental well-being!

🧘‍♀️ Being in nature helps reduce cortisol levels, which can lower stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. It can also improve mood, attention, focus, and memory.

🌱 Tip: Kenzie encourages making time outside a regular habit. Even a short walk, a few minutes in your backyard, or sitting in a park can help you recharge and support your mental health naturally.
We know times are especially tough right now with the limited federal funding due to the recent government shutdown. SNAP benefits may be delayed or temporarily on hold in November.

If you or someone you know needs food or essential resources, please reach out, because there are caring people and organizations ready to help.

When your days start feeling lighter, your energy comes back, and hope finally feels real again. 😍🙌

Spravato is helping people with treatment-resistant depression rediscover what “good” can feel like.
Here we GROW again! 🙌 We’re thrilled to welcome Kenzie Gordon, LPC, to the Strive CLE Counseling team!

Kenzie is a licensed professional counselor who works with adults (18+) navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and identity development. Her approach is eclectic, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the belief that authenticity is essential to healing.

Drawing from CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and other evidence-based modalities, Kenzie tailors every session to meet the unique needs of each client. Her goal is to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their emotions, discover their strengths, and build long-term resilience.

Kenzie’s experience spans across a variety of settings, from working with children and adolescents in schools to supporting adults in community programs. She has also facilitated groups for underserved men and women and contributed to research on transgender adolescent affirmative care, reflecting her commitment to inclusive and affirming mental health work.

What drew Kenzie to Strive was the energetic, supportive, and client-centered culture. She felt immediately at home within a team that shares her values of growth, empathy, and genuine connection.

Outside of her work, Kenzie enjoys gardening, hiking, exercising, reading, and spending time with her dogs and family. Her creativity shines through in her love for interior design, and she brings that same creative energy into helping clients design lives that feel balanced and authentic.

Kenzie believes therapy is not about fixing people, it’s about helping them rediscover their capacity for growth, clarity, and self-acceptance.

Kenzie is now accepting new clients.

🎄 Therapist Tip from Abbey: The Holidays Are Coming, Start Setting Boundaries Now.

The season can bring joy, but also stress, grief, or pressure, especially if you have a history of trauma or complicated family dynamics.

🧠 From a mental health perspective, preparing early helps you stay grounded. Reflect on what you want from this season: Which traditions serve you? What boundaries protect your peace? What routines keep you regulated?

✨ Tip: Abbey encourages you to start planning now. Say yes only to what aligns with your values, and give yourself permission to create new traditions that truly support your well-being.
Meet Jessica Hollis, LSW 🙌

We’re so excited to welcome Jessica Hollis, LSW to the Strive CLE Counseling team!

Jessica is a mental health therapist who specializes in supporting children (ages 3+), teens, and young adults through the unique challenges of growing up, finding identity, and building emotional resilience. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life.

Jessica uses an integrative blend of CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, play therapy, expressive arts, and psychodynamic principles to create personalized care for every client. Her sessions are designed to help clients explore emotions safely, build confidence, and discover lasting tools for self-understanding and growth.

Before joining Strive CLE Counseling, Jessica earned her master’s degree and completed advanced training in Boston, where she worked alongside skilled clinicians and psychologists. Her experience spans school-based and outpatient therapy with children, teens, and families from diverse backgrounds.

Jessica’s passion for therapy began early. She’s always been drawn to helping others feel seen, understood, and supported. Her work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and humor, helping clients navigate life’s most difficult seasons with courage and compassion.

When she’s not in session, you’ll likely find Jessica running through the Cleveland Metroparks, meditating by the river, climbing, or spending time with her large family. She values honesty, curiosity, and lifelong learning, and she brings those same values into every therapeutic relationship.

Jessica is currently accepting new clients, both in-person and through Telehealth. Flexible scheduling is available.

To schedule, visit striveclecounseling.com today to begin your journey toward healing and growth.
Today, Bethany’s sharing a simple but powerful tool for moments when your mind won’t stop racing: grounding. 

If you find yourself stuck worrying about the past or anxious about what’s ahead, grounding helps bring you back to right now.

Try the 5-4-3-2-1 Method:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

Or find small ways to reconnect. Things like run cold water over your hands, take a walk outside, stand barefoot in the grass, or hold something cold like ice.

The goal isn’t to ignore what’s bothering you, it’s to give your mind a break, reset your body, and remind yourself that in this moment, you are safe and present.
