Kelley Boole
Therapist, LSW
If anxiety, depression, or the weight of life's hardest seasons has been running the show, you deserve a therapist who treats both the racing thoughts and the body's alarm system. I'm Kelley, a Licensed Social Worker who blends warm, strengths-based therapy with evidence-based tools that include applied-neuroscience training. Together we'll build practical skills, sort through what is keeping you stuck, and move you toward real, lasting changes.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
At Inner World Counseling Services PLLC, I specialize in helping the "fixers," "peacekeepers," and chronic over-functioners who seamlessly support everyone else while secretly drowning in anxiety, burnout, or unresolved trauma. If your outside world looks perfectly put together, but your inside world is exhausted by a relentless inner critic, a fawn response that can’t say "no," or a brain that won't turn off, you don't have to carry it alone. Utilizing specialized trauma therapies like EMDR and CPT, I partner with you to heal the root causes of your anxiety, break survival habits, and build authentic boundaries. I provide secure, convenient telehealth therapy across North Dakota and Minnesota, allowing you to prioritize your healing from the comfort of your own space. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see how we can untangle the patterns keeping you stuck and start moving you forward.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
After facing the heart-wrenching challenges of having two of my three children struggle with Substance Use Disorder, my world was further shaken when my son, Joel, lost his decades-long battle with the disease in 2017. In the wake of this profound loss, I was determined to better understand the family experience of addiction, and have since used this lived experience to support and guide others who are navigating the isolating and stigmatizing road of addiction and loss.
As a Compassionate Bereavement Care®️ Certified Provider and Kessler Certified Grief Educator, I work with individuals, families, and communities impacted by loss. I am a Peer Parent Coach with the Partnership to End Addiction, and co-facilitate their online grief support community, and is the host of Finding Hope After Loss, Grief Support groups for The Happier Life Project. As an advocate for recovery policies, I am a California State Organizer with the Recovery Advocacy Project, serve on the RCO/RCC Advisory Committee, and was named the 2022 Architect of Recovery by CCAPP (CA Consortium of Addiction Professionals.) My book, Secrets, Scars and Heart Shaped Jars, shares my family’s journey through addiction, loss and recovery.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.

Cleveland carries a post-industrial identity with deep civic pride, and the mental health effects of decades of economic decline — job loss, population contraction, and community stress — are themes many local therapists engage with regularly. The city is home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's premier medical institutions, which maintains extensive psychiatric and behavioral health services alongside a large private practice community concentrated in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Lakewood. Cleveland's large Black community and history of racial inequity drive demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and social justice themes. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center provides additional institutional mental health resources in a city with a well-established independent practice community.
