Shift Theory Counseling

Welcome to Shift Theory Counseling- I'm so glad you're here. My name is Jesse Crowder, and I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation (LISW-S) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) based in the state of Ohio. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are navigating life’s challenges; whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, struggling with trauma or substance use, or facing difficulties in your relationships, you are not alone. At Shift Theory Counseling, I offer a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where healing and transformation can take root. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for your unique story and strengths. I believe that meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen, supported, and understood; and that’s the environment I strive to create for every person who walks through my door. Drawing from a range of evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor our work together to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you're looking to build healthier coping skills, gain deeper insight into patterns that no longer serve you, or reconnect with your sense of purpose and self-worth, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. My passion is helping clients ignite meaningful, lasting shifts toward emotional resilience, deeper connection, and overall mental wellness. Therapy is not just about addressing problems, it’s about building a life that feels more aligned, more empowered, and more whole. Thank you for considering Shift Theory Counseling. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you on your journey towards growth and healing.
