I've been in practice for 25 years. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I specialize in helping individuals with a variety of issues, including depression and anxeity.
It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military
installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities
for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:
our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create
a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life
and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to
work alongside you.
I have been a clinician for over 25 years, work with clients to try to figure out what is needed now and am willing to do that with you
Are you in a place where you would like to increase growth, change or wellness in your life? Do you want to identify and understand patterns that continue to happen and make you feel “stuck”? Are you interested in enhancing communication skills, developing stronger coping mechanisms, or processing a difficult time in your life? I'm a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio with experience working with diverse populations and with various mental health issues. I am passionate about helping people gain insight and a sense of empowerment as they navigate transitions and challenges inherent in life. In therapy, I create a safe and open space for you to deepen your awareness of yourself and others so that we can begin to explore the way the stories we tell ourselves impact our mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
I have experience working with adults(18+) families and couples treating a number of concerns including navigating anxiety and depression, addictions, relationship concerns, phase of life issues and changes, stress management, community violence, domestic violence and healing from trauma and codependency. My experience also includes treating substance use disorders, including relapse prevention, treatment diagnosis/education and working with families on psychoeducation and mending relationships. I will work to help you expertly navigate your challenges such as processing difficult emotions, learning healthy coping skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself, enhancing your self-esteem, and building satisfying relationships.
I believe in a practical, strengths-based method of treatment. My approach is compassionate, honest, and genuine. I use a strengths-based approach with a focus on overall wellness using cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused techniques and schema therapy techniques to encourage, empower and collaborate with you to assist you in regaining resiliency, to begin working together towards positive change. I would describe my approach as warm, solution-focused, and client centered. You are the expert on You! My goal is to help you heal through a mindful process for a deeper awareness of self and begin to establish new patterns of behavior to help you achieve a greater well-being. Together, we can identify your negative thought patterns, improve emotional regulation and self-awareness while using the strengths we will identify throughout the counseling process. I look forward to working with you!
Hello, I love working with clients that are motivated to work on improving themselves. I seek to empower each client in a safe environment where their expertise on themselves is honored. I work to bring energy and fun to the therapeutic process.
Hi! I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering comprehensive psychiatric care across Florida and Ohio. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with lifestyle medicine principles backed by modern science. I specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction. I believe you deserve to feel like yourself again, and I'm here to help make that possible.
(For patients located in Ohio, I do not currently prescribe Schedule II controlled medications.)
Hi, I'm Sara! I believe that connection is key to feeling less alone in this world. Getting curious about our past experiences and core values can help us to create a life that feels authentic and aligned with who we want to be. I enjoy supporting clients who are navigating life transitions, specifically the perinatal and postpartum periods. Additionally, I have specialized training in substance use disorders and have a heart for working with loved ones of those impacted by addiction to help restore balance, trust, and healing to the family system.
Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.
I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into therapy. By spiritual I mean living authentically, practicing mindfulness and radical acceptance, finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, having compassion for yourself and others in the face of life's inevitable challenges, and seeing the sacred in the ordinary. I work with people of different faiths and those with no particular belief. I mix creativity, humor, and metaphors into therapy and encourage "daily practice for the rest of your life" to keep growth going long after therapy concludes.
I'm originally from New York City I've had personal and professional relationships with all cultures I believe for a therapist to help a client he must use love

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Columbus
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.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
