We invite you to join our six-week group dedicated to healing the often-unseen wounds caused by relationship abuse.

Current & past clients of ACE Psychological Services, You are invited to a 6-week mindfulness training. In a small group led by a psychologist, you’ll learn how to attune to yourself, others, and God – to live in the present.

Practicing mindfulness has been found to reduce anxiety and increase the ability to concentrate and pay attention. This skill is foundational to emotion regulation. In the training, we’ll integrate spiritual disciplines with the DBT Wise Mind skills.

ACE Psychological Services has a long history of happy clients. Here are some of our testimonials for you to see what they're saying!

Testimonials

Participating in therapy was an opportunity for me to be seen as a whole human, with not only whole problems but whole hopes. I am so grateful to be able to say that I am now celebrating over 5 years self-harm free thanks to the guidance and genuine care that I was met with every step of the way.

- Kathryn

This place is so good. They have done wonders for my children. Very kind, understanding and supportive. Best services around Licking County!

- Helene

I went here, and was so blessed to choose an amazing counselor, Kathy. She was professional, but compassionate and cared. I had gone to someone else years before that was ok. Kathy, however, was used by God to be, truly, life changing. I am forever grateful.

- Rita

I've been seeing Kathy for several months and cannot say enough about the care, compassion, expertise, kindness, and professionalism she has for her clients! She is great at narrowing in on the issue at hand and helps guide me through the thought process necessary to make the next best decision!

- Olivia

I've been receiving counseling through Amynda off and on for several years. She's a great listener and asks very poignant questions. I highly recommend her.

- Stacia

I currently see Ryan and he is a wonderful provider, counselor, and man. He is incredibly genuine and transparent, as well as knowledgeable. I have nothing but good things to say & would highly recommend him!

- Christian

My husband & I “graduated” from marriage counseling last night. The love & compassion we have found for each other again is amazing! I highly recommend marriage counseling. We were both willing to change & put in the hard work. Lauda was a terrific counselor & we will definitely return to her! We would not have made it through this hard time without her!

- Beth
