Ohio’s Top Mental Health Provider Team

KAV Mental Health & Psychiatry’s team is comprised of experienced professionals who are dedicated to helping our patients overcome their struggles with mental health disorders. Our treatment starts with an assessment from our board-certified Psychiatrist and Mental Health Director. Each patients’ treatment plan will be implemented and adjusted by our Nurse Practitioners, who are all certified in mental health and provide flexible service based on each patients’ needs and schedule.

While medical care is administered, our Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Social Workers provide one-on-one and group therapy sessions to help each patient identify and address unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. These teletherapy sessions are conducted through a HIPPA-compliant video platform, which enables our patients to access quality care and support from the comfort of their own homes. All our staff take the time to get to know each patient as an individual — and find the most effective treatment for their unique needs.

Testimonials

“This place has been a blessing from day one. As a mother of 3, it’s not always the easiest to get away from the kiddos. I love the fact that I don’t have to leave my home to meet with my therapist. The online counseling aspect is really convenient and was honestly the only way for me to get the help I needed. I plan on continuing my monthly sessions because I keep seeing more growth and positive change in myself each time.”

– A.T.
“Depression controlled my life for a very long time, and up until a few months ago I was hopeless of that ever changing. KAV helped me find balance again. They helped me find peace. I rediscovered what being happy feels like. Though I still have bad days, I now have the tools and support systems to get me through them. I finally feel in control of my life again, and for that I am grateful.”

– J.C.
“I started feeling really anxious and depressed after the birth of my first child, which was when one of my close friends told me about KAV. My first visit with the doctor was great. She asked me a lot of questions, was super attentive, and gave me the time to talk through my issues. I could tell that she genuinely cared about trying to help me. We talked about different medication options and she suggested therapy. I was hesitant at first, but I’m really glad I said yes because my counselor has really helped me explore all this new anxiety. It changes every day with a baby, but I do feel like I’m in such a better place now, and so much more available for my daughter.”

-E.M.
“Pain pills took me down a really dark path for many years. I’ve been to rehab several times, but could never stay clean for long after I got out. I thank the doctors and counselors at KAV every day for helping me turn my life around. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve been sober for 14 months and have the belief in myself that it will stay that way. Most importantly, I can be the father and husband my family needs. Thank you KAV — you all truly saved my life!!!”

– J.K.
“Paying attention for long periods of time has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. It’s made things like school…relationships…holding down a job…etc pretty tough. Prior to coming here I’d heard of ADHD but never really looked into it…but after just a few visits my doctor and counselor helped me better understand it and get it under control. It’s been a really good experience so far…I only wish I would’ve pursued getting help like this sooner.”
