Norene Vello

Norene Vello is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Ohio with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Pastoral Clinical Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio, and maintains a state counseling credential as an LPCC (license number E.0007826), which indicates her qualification to provide professional mental health care in Ohio.

Her approach treats people as whole persons, addressing physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual dimensions because difficulties in one area often affect the others. Norene has worked with clients ranging in age from 6 to 82, helping them better understand themselves and find peace with ongoing struggles through the use of cognitive and achievement assessments, mindfulness breathing techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

For 18 years she has participated in and co-facilitated small women’s groups that integrate a range of practices including Biblical principles, spiritual mindfulness, meditation, prayer, journaling, art, nature, music, CBT, positive therapy, and traditional psychotherapy. Those groups have focused on concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, abuse, and self-destructive patterns.

Norene’s therapy aims to create safety, peace, well-being, health, contentment, healing, and a sense of wholeness in God. She offers compassionate, nonjudgmental support and welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside individuals who choose to invite her into their healing journey.
