Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Columbus, OH


With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.

Stephenie Robinson

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, I’m Stephenie Robinson, LPCC, founder of TheHairapist, and I believe healing is about caring for the whole person—not simply addressing a diagnosis. With a master’s degree in Counselor Education and experience in psychiatric and private practice settings, I provide affirming, empowering, and holistic care. I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, identity, relationships, stress, and emotional wellness, with a particular passion for supporting women.

Therapy with me is a collaborative space where we can explore your experiences, understand patterns, and develop practical tools to help you create meaningful change. If you’re ready to better understand yourself, heal from what you’ve experienced, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity, I’d be honored to support you.

Patricia Grady

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military

installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities

for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:

our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create

a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life

and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to

work alongside you.
