Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Columbus, OH

I pride myself on diversifying my skill set as a social worker and have worked in a myriad of settings over the years. I have experience ranging from community mental health, inpatient acute psychiatric, outpatient, mental health policy, and veteran’s healthcare.

My areas of expertise include psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, military and non-military PTSD, interpersonal and relationship issues, family conflict, stress, and self-esteem. I see both individuals from 18 years old and upward as well as couples for couples counseling. My treatment modalities vary from CBT, DBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, humanistic therapy, and motivational interviewing.

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.

I believe therapy is a space to find inner peace through courage, curiosity, and compassion. The journey toward peace begins with the willingness to be vulnerable—an act that can feel both brave and frightening. Opening up to another person and turning inward to meet ourselves can stir fear and uncertainty, but it becomes gentler in a space free of judgment and shame. My goal is to create that space, where you can explore at your own pace and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding.

With 12+ years of experience supporting those impacted by trauma and other challenges , I use a body-centered, relational approach. I help clients slow down, tune into their bodies, and notice how the past shapes their present. Through curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, I guide healing and deeper connection with self and others.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), I work with adolescents and adults. My clinical focus is treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and personality disorders. My therapeutic approach is integrative and strength-based, incorporating Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Psychotherapy. I have over 13 years of experience in crisis counseling and private practice, and I am committed to helping clients develop effective coping skills and move toward more meaningful, balanced lives.

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.

I prioritize client-centered care and strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment for healing. My passion is to offer compassion to those with pain and assist them in finding inner peace on their journey.

I believe healing happens in connection — when you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

My practice is inclusive and affirming of all cultural, religious, sexual, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse identities, providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing/growth can flourish.

I am a level 2 trained trauma trained professional who specializes in treating individuals (10+) couples and families.

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and empowered to heal — a space where you can explore who you are and what you need, at your own pace and in your own way.

An experienced professional, I offer extensive experience in psychotherapy in a variety of areas. I am especially conversant in working with adolescents and seniors as well as adults.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction recovery, and big life transitions. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start to heal. Together, we’ll focus on building practical coping skills, confidence, and lasting change. I also support families raising children with autism, as well as individuals managing both mental health and substance use challenges.
