Christina Doss

Christina Doss

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


Hi! I am Christina Doss- Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing- in providing psychotherapy and medication management to adults of all ages to help navigate Anxiety, ADHD - ADD, depression, burnout, hormonal - changes, perimenopause, menopause and postpartum (PPD). In addition, I help with family and relationship issues and conflicts.

If you are feeling mentally exhausted, suffer from brain fog, struggling to focus, or finding it difficult to keep up with task and demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, or everyday responsibilities, you are not alone.

Many women and men come to treatment during seasons of transition, whether they are navigating career changes, academic pressures, relationship or marriage concerns, divorce, parenting stress, grief, health challenges, or adjusting to a new stage of life.

Others may be struggling with executive dysfunction, ADHD, focus and concentration difficulties, organization, organize thoughts, motivation, manage time, or regulate emotions and feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life.

Many of my clients experience anxiety, depression, seasonal depression and feel disconnected from the life they want to create, and my goal is to help you "Grow and Glow" and together create the best life possible.

Together, we will look at the whole picture—not just symptoms, but also your relationships, strengths, stressors, and goals—to create a plan that fits your unique needs.As an independent provider, I believe meaningful mental health care begins with feeling heard. My goal is for every patient to feel seen, understood, and supported.

I believe hope, guidance, and the right support can make a powerful difference. My role is to walk alongside you, help clear the path forward, provide practical tools, and empower you to move toward the life you want to create. You don't have to do it alone.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Columbus

Finding postpartum therapists in Columbus starts with looking for care that fits the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include help with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, prenatal and postpartum care, or counseling for postpartum depression. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Columbus has many therapy options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. For new parents, practical details matter: appointment times, virtual availability, office location, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual sessions can be especially useful when schedules change, infant care is a factor, or in-person appointments add extra travel time. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy before you book.

Therapy in Columbus can be a significant cost 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 search for postpartum therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront based on your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
