Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement. Most people come to therapy not out of brokenness, but because they are stuck on the Map of Life, in a cul-de-sac. Patti is able to meet online, or in person in Slavic Village and Barnesville.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Columbus

Finding OCD therapists in Columbus starts with looking for training that matches your needs. Obsessive-compulsive disorder may involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, or anxiety that overlaps with other concerns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD-specific experience in their listed specialties and bios.

Columbus has many mental health care options, and that volume can make it harder to tell which therapist is the right fit. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near home, work, or school, while others use virtual sessions to access more scheduling options across Ohio. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Read each bio closely to see whether the therapist lists OCD as a general focus or describes specific ERP training and experience with anxiety and OCD therapy.

Therapy in Columbus can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their approach, confirm your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
