Hello and welcome! Thank you for considering me as part of your mental health journey.

My name is Jennifer Adams, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also hold an additional certification in Trauma-Responsive Care. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, individualized approach to therapy and allow me to meet each client where they are.

I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. As your therapist, my goal is to create that environment while working collaboratively with you to build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, or a major life transition, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Columbus, OH

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.
