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.
Hi, I’m Sarah Hill, an LISW-S with an MSSA from Case Western Reserve University (2008). I work with college students, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and identity development. My style is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in CBT, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and ready to make meaningful change.
Hello, I am Sarah, a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. I received my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Akron, but I also have a M.A. from The Ohio State University in Comparative Studies, focusing on the body, trauma, and narrative. We are our stories, as well as how we re-create our stories!
I am a seasoned therapist of 30 years, and I learn something new with each individual I connect with. My goal is to address the issues of life we all face with grace, compassion and a little humor. I might not know all the answers... but together we will develop strategies to make a better life.
With 20 years of experience, I am a licensed therapist here to support you through life's ups and downs. I provide individual therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, using evidence-based practices attuned to your specific needs. I believe that therapy will help you navigate current challenges -- as well as provide insight and skills that will continue to benefit you in the future, long after our sessions end.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Cincinnati, OH
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Cincinnati starts with identity-affirming care. A strong fit may include a therapist who lists experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, transgender care, coming out, family or relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You may also look for training in affirmative therapy, World Professional Association for Transgender Health-informed care, or experience supporting gender-diverse people. The right therapist should bring relevant training and a clear, respectful approach to your specific needs.
Cincinnati has a range of therapy options, but affirming therapists may be easier to find when you consider both in-person and virtual appointments. Local office location may matter if you prefer care near downtown, Clifton, Over-the-Rhine, or another part of the city. Virtual care can also expand your options, especially if you want a therapist who explicitly works with LGBTQIA+ populations. As you compare profiles, review each therapist’s bio for specialty areas, therapeutic approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, check appointment options, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
