Hi! I’m Dr. Blain.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio with 10 years of education, training, or experience in the mental health field.

Oftentimes mental health treatment is focused just on pain - anxiety or stress - and symptom relief. But, I believe that is only one half of the picture. Although most people would certainly welcome a decrease in anxiety and stress, it would not necessarily equate to lives that are more meaningful, connected, joyful, and fulfilled. My work involves actively addressing and treating your symptoms using evidenced-backed interventions while assisting you with clarifying your unique values and life goals and taking action steps in that direction.

I have heard and believe that the key ingredients for therapy success are insight and behavior change. Together, we explore the factors that have contributed to and are maintaining your concerns and behavioral patterns at this time and collaboratively chart a course towards actively changing the trajectory of your life.

My mission is to help you breathe life back into your life. Are you ready?

About Me

I received my Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Saint Louis University and my doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Xavier University. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including private practice, but also at a psychiatric hospital, a university counseling center, and the Cincinnati VA Medical Center for almost 5 years. While at the VA, I received advanced, specialty training in the assessment and treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related concerns.

I strive to provide a compassionate and warm environment for you to be fully seen and understood and to facilitate healing and growth toward your identified treatment goals. I believe and have seen that profound change is possible. It would be an honor to work with you.
