Counseling for Individuals & Couples
Bridging You to Better
Trauma-Informed
Care that recognizes how past experiences shape the present, creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and never rushed.
Spiritually Sensitive
Your faith, values, and beliefs have a place here. We'll explore them as much or as little as feels right to you.
Growth-Oriented
A collaborative process focused on real, lasting change—not just coping, but genuinely moving forward in your relationships and your life.
John Coaxum, M. Div., LPCC
Founder & Lead Clinician
“ At Bridgeline, we believe counseling should help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
Our approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on meaningful growth—not simply talking about problems, but finding a path forward.
Together, we won’t just talk about change, we’ll build a bridge to it."
What We Offer
Therapy That Leads Somewhere!
Outside Ohio?
No problem. Want to work with John but don't live in Ohio? Because counseling is regulated by state licensure, Bridgeline can only provide counseling to clients located in Ohio. However, private-pay coaching is an option for those seeking support with relationships, communication, life transitions, personal growth, or other non-clinical goals.
What Clients are Saying
A bridge doesn’t eliminate the distance—it gives you a way to cross it.
At Bridgeline, therapy isn’t just about talking through problems. It’s about building a clear path from where you are to where you want to be—with practical tools, intentional conversations, and real progress along the way.
