As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.


I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.


I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.

Having the same fight on repeat is exhausting. You know the one, with the same lines, the same tone, and the same ending. Feeling alone in your own relationship is even harder. You're not broken, and you're not the first couple to get stuck.

My focus is couples. I help partners stop the cycle, rebuild trust after infidelity, and reconnect, even when anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, or substance use is part of the picture. I'm on both your sides.

For individual work, my focus is women. Opening up to a man takes trust, and I don't take that for granted. I grew up around women who needed a steady, respectful man in their corner, and I've carried that into my work. With me, you set the pace. You won't be rushed, talked over, or told how to feel. You'll be heard, taken seriously, and supported in ways that fit your life.

I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with a Master's in Counseling from a program whose graduates passed the licensing exam at one of the nation's highest rates, plus a background in substance use counseling. My style is direct, warm, and real. Therapy with me doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating. It just has to feel worth showing up for.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

Amy Seager

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.

I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.

I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

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

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.
