ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Columbus, OH

"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." I'm an LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience, and I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, men's mental health, PTSD, and life transitions — but most of the people I work with don't arrive with a clean diagnosis. They arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been managing too much for too long.I work with adults and seniors who are done feeling like they have to figure everything out alone. My approach is direct and warm — I'm not going to sit in silence waiting for you to lead. We work together. I use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based techniques, but in practice that means building skills that actually fit your life, not homework from a textbook.I'm particularly well-suited to working with men who've been skeptical about therapy, adults navigating ADHD later in life, and anyone carrying grief they haven't had space to process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session so you can decide if we're a good fit.

Hello! I'm Rashawna Edwards, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 25 years of nursing experience. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My approach combines medication management, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to help clients heal, build resilience, and achieve lasting emotional wellness. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

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

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside,

while inside you're overwhelmed, stuck,

disconnected, or wondering what happened

to the person you used to be.

Maybe you're dealing with ADHD, anxiety,

depression, relationship challenges, low

self-esteem, identity questions, or a major

life transition. Maybe you're starting over

and aren't quite sure what comes next.

You don't have to have everything figured

out before coming to therapy.

I'm Hope Striving, LPCC, and I believe

therapy should feel human. I offer a warm,

affirming, judgment-free space where you

can be honest, explore what's really

going on and feel genuinely heard.

I work with adolescents and adults,

with a particular interest in ADHD and

neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ concerns,

identity development, relationships,

self-esteem, trauma, grief, and life

transitions.

I also believe there should be room

for humor, creativity, and authenticity

in therapy. My goal isn't to tell you how

to live your life, it's to help you better

understand yourself, recognize your

strengths, develop practical coping

strategies, and create meaningful

change that fits who you are.

I specialize in wellness approaches using vitamins and minerals and traditional Western medicine options. I'm goal-oriented and want clients who like to develop a relationship with their provider. I like to make appointments about your goals and desires. I will meet everyone on their path, and we will work toward whatever makes you feel comfortable. I offer flexible scheduling with day, evening, and weekend appointments. My clients report that they love the flexibility and their growth.

I think it takes guts to be in psychotherapy. Life is hard and beautiful, & it is always possible to feel better and live a fuller life, I work collaboratively with clients to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, divorce and ADHD. I received my MSW in social work from Boston College and trained on child and family teams in the Boston area.

Hi! I am Marissa, thank you for taking the time to read this and decide if I might be the therapist for you. I have a Masters in Social work from Cleveland State University and have been a Licensed Social Worker (LISW-S) since 2016. I have had the honor to work with a diverse population of people over the years. Currently I am working in private practice with individuals and families. I work with children as young as 3 years old through the lifespan. I have a passion for perinatal mental health, women's health, chronic illnesses, parenting, and children/adolescents.

Clients have often expressed feeling I am genuine and authentic in our work together. I take pride in this as I feel we are all people trying to navigate life with the skills we have and all need additional support to find healthier or better skills. I look forward to getting to know you and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

Hello! I work with adults who are in a season of growth, transition, or self-discovery and who may feel burned out, stuck, or unsure of themselves despite being capable and insightful.

You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.

Back-to-school ADHD & adolescent anxiety visits — evening appointments available! If you've cycled through medications that didn't work, been put on prescriptions that never quite fit, or felt handed a pill for every symptom without anyone explaining why — you're not a difficult case. You're a patient who hasn't been fully heard yet.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with additional certification in telebehavioral health, and I do things differently: I take the time to get the complete picture before making any decision. My career — from flight nursing to inpatient behavioral health — taught me to stay calm and thorough with the most complex cases. I treat mental and physical health together,

grounded in evidence-based care, and I make sure you understand your options — medications, nutrition, sleep, movement — so you can make real choices about your own care.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including more than a decade as a psychiatric registered nurse. I earned my post-master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Cincinnati and hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nursing Education from the University of Detroit Mercy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in outpatient, residential, correctional, and community-based settings. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understand your treatment options, and feel empowered to take an active role in your mental health and overall well-being.
