Joanna Hayes Dillingham
Clinical Social Worker & Therapist, LMSW-C
I believe therapy works best as a collaborative partnership. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment.
I work with adults, teens, and children who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, make overwhelming feelings more manageable, and build practical tools to help you move forward.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and a sense of humor to our work because therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or overly formal. We’ll make space for the hard stuff, have honest conversations, and hopefully find a few moments to laugh along the way.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin—you just need a willingness to start where you are.
I provide individual therapy for adults 18 and older and bring more than 20 years of experience working with individuals across a variety of settings and levels of care. My goal is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively with you to reduce emotional pain and stress while improving your overall well-being.
I use an eclectic approach because there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. My work incorporates Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma and stress, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, substance use concerns, and dual diagnosis. Together, we can explore what is keeping you feeling stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Lake Erie College and my Master of Arts in Human Services and Community Counseling from John Carroll University.
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can simply begin where you are.
