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.

Feeling comfortable in our shoes is essential to a creative and self-fulfilling journey and

life. The struggle to reach out for support can be an obstacle that leads to isolation,

loneliness, anxiety, and depression and is often the first and most challenging step to

take. I congratulate you on your courage and willingness to imagine and hope for

changes that will help you be more comfortable in the shoes that you wear!

I have worked as a mental health practitioner for over 40 years and have encountered

many of the challenges that people face in their daily lives. Along the way, I have

discovered my own creative needs and now walk as a transgender therapist willing to

join you as a partner on a path to self-discovery. Giving voice to our hopes, dreams,

and desires is often an essential part of that journey, and I would be glad to join you as

a partner in your self-discovery and growth.

Psychologist

Virtual • Ohio


You may be successful in many areas of your life and still feel stuck in your relationships. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments, struggle to communicate, or feel increasingly disconnected. Maybe parenting has become more difficult than you expected, or a major life transition has changed the way you relate to the people you love. I work with adults, couples, and parents who are ready to understand the patterns that keep them stuck and create meaningful change. Together, we look beneath the immediate problem to understand what is happening and develop practical ways to respond differently.

As a doctoral-level Clinical Psychologist, I bring extensive clinical, teaching, and research experience to our work. I have trained thousands of therapists, authored more than 100 research articles, and written eight books. Most importantly, I bring that experience into therapy in a way that is personal and relevant to you, tailoring my work to your goals, strengths, and circumstances.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Cincinnati

Searching for family therapists in Cincinnati starts with finding someone who understands the family dynamics you want to address. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, co-parenting, divorce transitions, and communication challenges across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, background, and approach match what your family is navigating.

In a mid-sized city like Cincinnati, you may find family counseling options across local offices and virtual appointments. The right format often depends on schedules, transportation, and who plans to attend each session. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may involve parents, children, siblings, couples counseling for parenting, or individual family members. Before booking, review therapist bios for details on session structure, therapeutic approach, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Family therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to access. Headway helps you find Cincinnati family counseling options by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, offer in-person or virtual care, and match your insurance details. You can review estimated costs before booking, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
