Kerri Mazzone, LISW-S is a social worker in practice since 2006 whose passion is helping survivors of trauma and individuals with serious illnesses such as advanced cancer. With 14 years working with those impacted by cancer at University Hospitals, she developed a strong interest in the role past trauma plays in helping individuals meet current challenges. She draws on her training in EMDR (EMDRIA Member, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training), CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness and IFS-Informed Interventions to work with adults (18+) with PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, depression, chronic suicidal thoughts, obsessive-compulsive disorder, codependency and substance use.
She enjoys working with survivors of physical, emotional and sexual trauma, childhood neglect, sex trafficking and cultural trauma while they work to redefine life on their terms. She also loves to work with other therapists, first responders, health care workers and those dealing with vicarious trauma through their careers. Kerri is excited to engage clients in nonjudgmental dialogue to work on changes leading to greater happiness, success and fulfillment.
She is LGBTQ+ Allied, Racial Justice Allied, and Kink Aware. Kerri also has a special interest in working with professionals on improving their communication and interpersonal leadership skills to take their careers to the next level.
In addition to providing therapy, Kerri finds fulfillment working with other mental health professionals to strengthen their skills. She is available to supervise master’s-prepared LSWs in the state of Ohio toward their independent licensure, offering affordable individual and group supervision. Additionally, she is an EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training, offering affordable virtual consultation to mental health practitioners working toward EMDR Certification.
