Virtual & in-person • Dayton, OH


Welcome to A Heart to Heal Therapeutics LLC! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Vee Monie, and I’m a dedicated mental health therapist with over a decade of experience in the field of social work and clinical care.

My journey began in 2014 working in residential treatment facilities with adolescent girls, where I created and facilitated life skills curricula focused on emotional regulation, self-worth, and healthy decision-making. Since then, I’ve provided therapy in a range of settings—including school-based mental health programs throughout Dayton, OH—supporting children, adolescents, and families with compassion and clinical expertise.

I am the founder and owner of A Heart to Heal Therapeutics LLC, a private practice offering high-quality therapeutic services to adults across Ohio through both telehealth and in-person sessions.

For clients seeking faith-based support, I also provide Christian Counseling, integrating biblical principles into therapy to support spiritual and emotional healing. This approach acknowledges the importance of aligning emotional wellness with spiritual truth, offering space to reconnect with God’s purpose and peace.

This is a space for transformation, healing, and self-discovery—and I am honored to walk beside you on your journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Therapist

I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.

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.
