Hello, I'm Valerie!
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.
I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.
You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.

Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement. Most people come to therapy not out of brokenness, but because they are stuck on the Map of Life, in a cul-de-sac. Patti is able to meet online, or in person in Slavic Village and Barnesville.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Columbus, OH
Finding addiction therapists in Columbus starts with matching your needs to the right clinical background. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, relapse prevention, cravings, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, or outpatient substance abuse counseling. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Columbus has many therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether an in-person office near home, work, or campus fits your schedule, or whether a virtual appointment gives you more flexibility. You can also compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with addiction care.
Addiction therapy in Columbus can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who match your needs, check insurance coverage for your specific plan, and view upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse addiction therapists in Columbus, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
