Getting to know Douglas Shotsky

Hi there, I'm Douglas! Hello! My name is Doug Shotsky, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio and Michigan. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Liberty University and my Bachelor’s degree from Ohio Christian University. I am experienced and competent in many different therapeutic approaches and don’t believe that any approach is one-size-fits-all. I also utilize a holistic approach that includes the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects from a biblical perspective. My approach My initial focus is to build a good working relationship with each client to create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable being transparent. This is key to identifying specific issues, treatment approaches, and a plan of action tailored to each individual. My focus I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from about 9 to 99. I have experience supporting those struggling with depression, anxiety, anger issues, marital challenges, ADD/ADHD, ODD, stress management, alcohol and substance abuse, men’s issues, and family concerns. My communication style Clients can expect sessions with me to be very personable, providing a warm and safe environment where they can express their feelings, identify their issues, and work toward solutions. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because many people have helped me along my life journey, and I wanted to use the gifts God has given me to help others. My goals for you It’s a process of assessing what’s most important to you, the areas you’re struggling with, and the barriers impeding your progress. From there, we set measurable objectives to help you reach your goals. My first session with you We’ll have a mix of questions to help me understand your situation, along with personal conversation to build a relationship of trust.
