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.
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor
Certified Trauma Counselor
Certified Adult ADHD Counselor
Welcome, and come as you are. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. Often these patterns started as adaptations, ways of coping or relating that once helped us navigate our family or environment and made sense at the time. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.
I'm a psych NP. I have worked in general psychiatry and addiction medicine. I utilize CBT and motivational interviewing to help inspire change.

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.
