Counseling Practice – A Kind Mind Counseling
Serving Lorain and Erie County since 2014, A Kind Mind Counseling is a solo behavioral health therapy practice located at 4550 Liberty Ave Suite 200 in Vermilion, Ohio. The practice is operated by Kristine Dence, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, who works with children age 8 and older, adolescents, and adults.
The therapeutic approaches used include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

The range of conditions and concerns addressed includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, adjustment disorder, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, stress, social anxiety, separation anxiety, self-esteem concerns, self-harming behaviors, peer relationship difficulties, perfectionism, parenting challenges, oppositional defiance, mindfulness, and fears and phobias.
The practice is explicit about the services it does not offer: marriage and couples counseling, substance use treatment, and anger management classes are not available. This clarity allows prospective clients to identify fit before reaching out.
