  • Myra Kruzer, LSW

    Licensed Social Worker

    I have spent decades working with individuals, families, couples, and people of all ages and backgrounds. As the eldest child of parents and extended family, who endured wartime hardships and resettlement in the United States, I empathize with the struggles of cultural adaptation, language barriers, and familial trauma.

    From a young age, I felt compelled to support others in distress, honing skills crucial for therapeutic settings such as being emotionally attuned, curious to understand, and feeling empathy, plus being solution seeking, with value of inclusion and honoring of people and their journey.

    I am here to help navigate life's obstacles with greater resilience and confidence. Whether you're facing depression, substance abuse, anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges, I have multiple and varied treatment approaches. If you are ready to pause and reflect, to clarify and to renew, I can assist with that. Reach out today and we can work together to help you thrive and be the best, happiest version of you! Our work is to locate and release the heart and soul version of you, which likely is tucked, hidden, or buried inside.

    I earned a Master of Arts in Education degree in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at The University of Akron in 2024 and my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Cleveland State University in 2020. I also hold a Licensed Professional Counselor license through the state of Ohio. Beginning in my graduate school practicum, I gained experience working with a variety of individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, interpersonal conflict, and more. I then completed my internship at a residential eating disorder treatment center where I found my passion for working with clients experiencing eating disorders and body image distress. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new coffee shops with my husband, cuddling with our three cats, grabbing dinner with friends, or hanging out reading a book. 

    As your counselor, I aim to empower you to navigate life’s challenges and create your life worth living. I offer a warm and understanding environment where your story is heard without judgment. My ideal client is motivated for change and ready for collaboration. With a special focus in eating disorders and body image distress, I understand the complexities surrounding food, body image, and self-worth and provide a safe space to explore your journey toward recovery. I help individuals embrace healthier relationships with food and their bodies through personalized skill use and evidenced-based approaches such as DBT and CBT. Together, we'll unravel the complexities of your relationship with food and body image, crafting personalized strategies to foster genuine self-acceptance and resilience.
