Jason Gibbs

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

As a therapist, I try to create a welcoming, warm environment. When I first meet with someone, I like to start off by finding out what they want to get out of therapy. I'll craft a treatment plan with you based on that, realizing that other concerns can arise on a week-to-week basis. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of rock and metal music and love going to concerts. I also have three sugar gliders that I've had for about seven years. They are miniature flying squirrels, basically. So during our sessions, if there's ever any weird chirping that comes through a wall in the background, that's probably what you're hearing.

Ryan Ventillo

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

As a therapist, I am authentic, compassionate, and caring. Empathy and open communication are important, and I take the time to listen and understand. I like to set specific goals and use measurable instruments so we can understand where we started and where we're going. Some fun facts about me: I've traveled to more than half of the United States. I'm a big outdoorsy type of person and love going on hikes and to national parks.

Jordan Driskell

Licensed Therapist, MS

As a therapist, I like to create an environment that feels laid-back and direct, not sterile or clinical. It's my goal just to show up as myself. I'm also a very direct therapist, and I don't sugarcoat things. I do deep work to ensure you're working toward your goals, but you're the one who is driving the treatment. Fun facts about me: I have a hamster named Moody, I play the ukulele, and I really love to do karaoke.

Carrie Wells

Licensed Therapist, MS

At the core, I approach our work in therapy as a partner and collaborator. I don't profess to know any member better than they know themselves. We are always a team. When I’m not working, I love to be outdoors. I like to spend time with my horse whenever possible, as I'm endlessly learning the art of dressage. I also love my family and my dog. I enjoy traveling when I’m able, as I love to meet new people and see and learn new things.

Jeffrey Lees

Licensed Therapist, MS

As your OCD therapist, I will meet you where you are. I'll push you through your comfort zone to create a new stable environment around your self-talk and behaviors. I'll help you leave unhealthy or dysfunctional strategies behind and move into a new and healthy lifestyle. Outside of work, I love sports, specifically soccer, where I have coached for more than 10 years. I enjoy games, puzzles, listening to music, and spending time with my family on trips. I'm the youngest of six in a blended family and have a blended family of my own. I also enjoy cooking and grilling year-round.

Jerimee Smith

Licensed Therapist, MA

As a therapist, I'm supportive yet direct. I'll treat you as the primary decision-maker. You're in charge of your life and what direction you want to take. Change can be difficult; that's when I like to help people push harder to overcome avoidance, fear, and anxiety that can keep them stuck. When I'm not at work, I enjoy exercising, reading, watching my favorite TV shows, and most importantly, spending time with my wife and children. Some fun facts: I love listening to music and at one time played the violin.

Amy Jones

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I have a laid-back approach to therapy, but I will always be direct and straightforward. I provide a warm, judgment-free environment. I like to use humor, and I'm able to empathize with you as I have personally experienced OCD throughout my life. I have both a teenage daughter and a high-maintenance pit bull at home. They both keep me on my toes! I'm a lifelong Ohio State Buckeye fan who's into exercise and fitness, especially running and lifting weights. I also enjoy relaxing and binge-watching true crime, cheesy reality shows, and documentaries.
