Our story
An Ohio private practice with specialized care, unique to you — telehealth across the state, in person in Willoughby and Painesville.
How we started
You didn't expect to find yourself here. You feel a little lost, a little burned out, tired of feeling this way — and not sure what comes next.
Yiannoula Mavroidis, M.Ed., LPCC-S, BC-TMH, founded Resilient Wellness in 2021 so clients like you wouldn't have to stay that way. No months-long waitlists. No insurance limits dictating the work. No providers who never quite fit.
Yiannoula built Resilient Wellness to be a private practice that fits your lifestyle — not the other way around. Our focus is tight on purpose: adolescents, college students, young professionals, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. What you're going through is yours, and our therapists are here to understand you beyond a diagnosis or the situation that brought you in — goal-oriented, confidential, and genuinely tailored to the person in the room.
That's why we start with a free 15-minute call — no commitment, no paperwork. If we're the right fit, we'll go from there.
Our team

M.Ed., LPCC-S, BC-TMH
Yiannoula founded Resilient Wellness in 2021 to help clients quiet the voice saying they're not good enough or can't do this.

Ph.D., LPCC-S, NCC, BC-TMH, ACS
Dr. Staci Tessmer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervision Endorsement and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. She works with children, adolescents, and adults — often with people carrying more than they've let anyone see — and brings specialized training in suicidality assessment (CAMS) and counseling on access to lethal means (CALM).
Therapist & Supervisor
M.A., LPCC-S, BC-TMH
Hayle walks a middle path with clients — building resilience rather than just enduring. She integrates DBT, ACT, Person-Centered, and CBT with adolescents, college students, young adults, and parents. Areas of focus: depression, anxiety, self-harm, BPD, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy.
Therapist
M.A., LPCC, BC-TMH
Melissa specializes in eating disorders — Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder — along with co-occurring anxiety and depression. Her work is grounded in Health at Every Size® and weight inclusivity, built around empowerment and self-compassion.
What we stand for
DBT, CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered approaches — research-backed tools, applied thoughtfully to your situation.
HIPAA-secure portal for everything, and as an out-of-network practice your care never ends up in an insurance file. We show up curious, not critical.
We celebrate body diversity and help clients build a healthy self-image through self-compassion — not shame, not restriction.
