Hi, I’m a compassionate and dedicated therapist who's independently licensed in multiple areas with over 14 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and help you move toward the life you want.
I'm a warm, inquisitive and open minded soul, with a lifetime of challenging personal experiences. You are not alone and I would be honored to support you in your journey to peace, healing, and resolution.
I am a trans, non-binary, AuDHD, polyamorous, queer, kinky, and leftist therapist. Meeting clients' cultural and intellectual needs in session is extremely important to me, so the practice of cultural and intellectual humility helps me bridge the divide between myself and my clients. Clients are the experts of their own lives, I am simply here to help.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.
I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.
I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.
I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cincinnati
Searching for therapists in Cincinnati starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, while others may focus on couples counseling, family therapy, or grief counseling in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati offers a strong mix of local therapy options, with offices across areas like Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Northside, Clifton, and downtown. Your best fit may depend on more than specialty alone. Consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether sessions are in person or virtual, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and session structure before you book.
Therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find licensed therapists in Cincinnati who match your preferences and offer clear cost estimates before your first session. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for Cincinnati on Headway before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check availability, 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.
