Whether you're a parent worried about your teen or a young adult trying to navigate life's challenges, you don't have to face them alone. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, school stress, grief, trauma, and major life transitions can leave you feeling stuck or like you've lost confidence in yourself. I'm Sylvia Bella. I help teens and young adults build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, heal from difficult experiences, and feel more like themselves again.
I think it takes guts to be in psychotherapy. Life is hard and beautiful, & it is always possible to feel better and live a fuller life, I work collaboratively with clients to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, divorce and ADHD. I received my MSW in social work from Boston College and trained on child and family teams in the Boston area.
Hi! I am Marissa, thank you for taking the time to read this and decide if I might be the therapist for you. I have a Masters in Social work from Cleveland State University and have been a Licensed Social Worker (LISW-S) since 2016. I have had the honor to work with a diverse population of people over the years. Currently I am working in private practice with individuals and families. I work with children as young as 3 years old through the lifespan. I have a passion for perinatal mental health, women's health, chronic illnesses, parenting, and children/adolescents.
Clients have often expressed feeling I am genuine and authentic in our work together. I take pride in this as I feel we are all people trying to navigate life with the skills we have and all need additional support to find healthier or better skills. I look forward to getting to know you and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
Hello! I work with adults who are in a season of growth, transition, or self-discovery and who may feel burned out, stuck, or unsure of themselves despite being capable and insightful.
I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.
You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.
My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.
I am kind and supportive and will also hold you accountable.
I specialize in working with individuals facing PTSD, complex trauma, substance abuse challenges, and more. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Ohio State University College of Social Work in 2012.

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.
