Michael Eblin

Michael Eblin

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Worthington, OH


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Columbus, OH

Searching for couples therapists in Columbus starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support concerns like communication breakdowns, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they commonly support.

Columbus has many options for couples counseling, which can make it harder to narrow the search to one therapist who works for both partners. Consider practical fit early, including appointment availability, virtual or in-person format, office location, and whether the therapist offers evening or weekend sessions. Some couples prefer an office that is easy to reach from neighborhoods like Short North, Clintonville, German Village, or downtown Columbus. Others may prefer virtual sessions when coordinating two schedules. Many therapists offer a brief phone consultation, which can help both partners ask questions and assess fit before booking.

Couples therapy in Columbus can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find couples therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists by specialty, approach, availability, and session format, then book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
