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.

Hello and welcome! I'm a psychologist who has had my practice for almost 15 years. I have previously worked in hospitals, universities, and nursing facilities, but I have found working in private practice is my strength and also my passion. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University in 2009, and I moved from NYC to Ohio in 2020. So I get to see patients both in New York and Ohio.

Michael Eblin

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Worthington, OH


I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from The Ohio State University. I have been working in mental health for 12 years and been a therapist for 9 years. I have worked mostly in the LGBTQIA+ community during that time, but have also often worked with all kinds of folks in some capacity. I have worked in community mental health, youth development and prevention, college counseling, and most recently in an intensive outpatient program.

I am a nonbinary (though male presenting), queer, neurodivergent white person in a fat, tall body from Appalachian hill people with generational poverty. I’m a first-generation undergraduate and master’s graduate, but also recognize that moving through those institutions afforded me quite a lot of privilege which I take seriously.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Columbus, OH

Searching for therapists in Columbus starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider profiles can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or relationship-focused counseling.

Columbus has many therapists across neighborhoods such as German Village, Short North, Clintonville, and Worthington, which can make the search broad even when you know what you want. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether in-person or virtual sessions fit your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to work, school, or home, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual care. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and what each therapist says to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Columbus can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Columbus therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, add your insurance information, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
