You may be successful in many areas of your life and still feel stuck in your relationships. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments, struggle to communicate, or feel increasingly disconnected. Maybe parenting has become more difficult than you expected, or a major life transition has changed the way you relate to the people you love. I work with adults, couples, and parents who are ready to understand the patterns that keep them stuck and create meaningful change. Together, we look beneath the immediate problem to understand what is happening and develop practical ways to respond differently.

As a doctoral-level Clinical Psychologist, I bring extensive clinical, teaching, and research experience to our work. I have trained thousands of therapists, authored more than 100 research articles, and written eight books. Most importantly, I bring that experience into therapy in a way that is personal and relevant to you, tailoring my work to your goals, strengths, and circumstances.

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.

Hi there!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping women navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with their most empowered selves. I specialize in working with women experiencing Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Eating Disorders and women’s issues, including identity, life transitions, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.

Whether you're managing the weight of daily stressors, navigating complex emotional patterns, or feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, I provide a warm, collaborative space where your experiences are heard and validated. Together, we’ll explore the root of what’s holding you back and work toward practical, personalized strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My goal is to support you in rediscovering your voice, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing your well-being without guilt. Therapy is not just about coping — it's about thriving.

Let’s take the journey together — to heal, to grow, and to put you back at the center of your life.

"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." I'm an LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience, and I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, men's mental health, PTSD, and life transitions — but most of the people I work with don't arrive with a clean diagnosis. They arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been managing too much for too long.I work with adults and seniors who are done feeling like they have to figure everything out alone. My approach is direct and warm — I'm not going to sit in silence waiting for you to lead. We work together. I use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based techniques, but in practice that means building skills that actually fit your life, not homework from a textbook.I'm particularly well-suited to working with men who've been skeptical about therapy, adults navigating ADHD later in life, and anyone carrying grief they haven't had space to process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session so you can decide if we're a good fit.

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside,

while inside you're overwhelmed, stuck,

disconnected, or wondering what happened

to the person you used to be.

Maybe you're dealing with ADHD, anxiety,

depression, relationship challenges, low

self-esteem, identity questions, or a major

life transition. Maybe you're starting over

and aren't quite sure what comes next.

You don't have to have everything figured

out before coming to therapy.

I'm Hope Striving, LPCC, and I believe

therapy should feel human. I offer a warm,

affirming, judgment-free space where you

can be honest, explore what's really

going on and feel genuinely heard.

I work with adolescents and adults,

with a particular interest in ADHD and

neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ concerns,

identity development, relationships,

self-esteem, trauma, grief, and life

transitions.

I also believe there should be room

for humor, creativity, and authenticity

in therapy. My goal isn't to tell you how

to live your life, it's to help you better

understand yourself, recognize your

strengths, develop practical coping

strategies, and create meaningful

change that fits who you are.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Columbus

Searching for therapists in Columbus starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider profiles can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or relationship-focused counseling.

Columbus has many therapists across neighborhoods such as German Village, Short North, Clintonville, and Worthington, which can make the search broad even when you know what you want. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether in-person or virtual sessions fit your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to work, school, or home, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual care. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and what each therapist says to expect in a first session.

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 understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Columbus therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, add your insurance information, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

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