Rachel Scheiding, MSW
LISW (Ohio), LICSW (West Virginia)
I have been a therapist for over 8 years now and have extensive training and practice in working with people who experience a wide range of symptoms, including those related to posttraumatic stress, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Throughout my education and practice, I have always felt a call to help people explore issues related to interpersonal relationships, sexuality, and sexual identity – these areas that are so integrally linked with mental and physical health, but are unfortunately often ignored or minimized by treatment professionals. Two years ago, I began a training program designed to help me become a better therapist for people with concerns about sexual and relational health. I am excited to be able to provide therapy services to people who are looking for help in these often-stigmatized, but extremely important, areas of life.
I know how difficult it can be to take the first step and ask for help, and it’s wonderful that you’re looking into therapy! I would be honored to be the therapist who gets to go on the journey of exploration and insight development with you. I can provide acceptance and support without judgment, as well as knowledge and skills that can help you reach your goals, whatever they may be. I also believe that therapy, like life, needs balance, so don’t be surprised if we have a few laughs now and then as well! I look forward to working with you!

I pride myself in being genuine in my care for the clients I work with. I value working within a framework of multicultural awareness, and feel strongly that individuals should be afforded the courtesy to understand the context of their background and world view. I am relationship focused, and incorporate a variety of empirically supported approaches in working with the difficulties that occur in people's lives. In particular, I have a strong emphasis on mindfulness-based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy interventions in combination with proven strategies and interventions from Sex Therapy practice approaches. I have spent my career working with individuals along the lifespan, and currently work mostly with late adolescent to adult clients. I work with many different concerns that present in the mental health and sexual health areas of an individual's lives. I have particular focus in working with individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives, and for those that fall within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. I am licensed as a Psychologist in Ohio, and have experience both in working as a clinician and as an administrator in a non-profit mental health center. I am passionate about improving the lives of my clients, and in training up and coming psychologists and mental health practitioners in their early careers. I have training in individual, relationship-based, and sex therapy approaches and treat a wide variety of clinical concerns. I specialize in treating sexual health concerns with a particular focus on couples' issues in both monogamous and multi-partnered relationships , including sexual dysfunction in men and women, paraphilia, sexual abuse and trauma, sexual fetish, sexually compulsive behaviors across the lifespan, gender identity exploration, anxiety related sexual dysfunction, and intimacy enhancement. I am a LGBTQIA+ informed and friendly therapist and work with individuals from many cultural backgrounds.
