About Candor & Hope
Healing with honesty. Growing with clarity.
Candor & Hope Therapy Inc. is a mental health and wellness group practice founded by Marirhetta Crosby — a dually licensed Ohio therapist who has helped adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
Healing requires both truth and compassion. We help clients name what hurts, understand what keeps them stuck, and develop healthier ways to think, feel, communicate, connect, and live.
Our mission is to support healing and wellness, especially for couples and families, through prevention, intervention, treatment, and psychoeducation. Our therapists share a commitment to candor, acceptance, respect, empowerment, and sincerity — and to helping each person find care that fits.
Today, our group practice offers a range of specialties, in-person and virtual care, and different therapeutic styles — so you can find a therapist who meets you where you are.

Scope & Safety
Therapy is collaborative, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. When a higher level of care is needed, we refer appropriately. We are not a crisis or emergency service. If you are in crisis, call or text 988; if you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.
