About Norene
I am Norene Vello, I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Masters in Pastoral Clinical Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio and have been practicing 19 years.
Life is a journey and at certain points, we all need guidance and direction to navigate the bumps and roadblocks along the way. We need fellow travelers to come alongside, to be present, to listen, guide and direct without judgement, criticism, or condemnation. If you allow me, I would like to be that person.
I have collaborated with people ages 6-82 working to better understand themselves and make peace with their struggles using Cognitive and Achievement assessments, Mindfulness breathing exercises, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I have participated in and co-facilitated small women’s groups for 18 years using Biblical principles, Spiritual Mindfulness, meditation, prayer, journaling, art, nature, music, CBT, Positive Therapy and Psychotherapy. These groups have addressed issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, abuse, and self-destructive behavior patterns.
My focus in Psychotherapy includes the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of self because when one part hurts all parts hurt. We are spiritual beings with a need to belong, loved, accepted, and have meaning and purpose to maintain and develop a sense of well-being which, starts in childhood and continues throughout life.
My goals in every session are safety, peace, well-being, health, contentment, healing and wholeness in God. I welcome the privilege of walking with you and alongside you if you choose to invite me.

What clients say
- “A wonderful lady that helped me overcome grief and checks up on me every so often”
- “Norene is very compassionate and understanding. I enjoy talking to her!”
- “Noreen was great, she was one of the best therapists I have ever had. She guided me so well and asked me great questions to get me thinking. She is kind and sweet and just an easy person to talk to. Meeting with Noreen weekly got me to such a better space with my thoughts, and I am so glad I met her and did it so frequently. I needed to get out of my head with some of my thoughts about some of my relationships, and in turn, I was able to help others as well.”
