Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Westerville, OH

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

With 20 years of experience, I am a licensed therapist here to support you through life's ups and downs. I provide individual therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, using evidence-based practices attuned to your specific needs. I believe that therapy will help you navigate current challenges -- as well as provide insight and skills that will continue to benefit you in the future, long after our sessions end.

I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.

Hi, I’m Haven Ohly, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision designation (LISW-S). I know reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve spent years trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, trauma, substance use, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. You may feel overwhelmed, struggle with consistency, repeat patterns you don’t understand, or find yourself carrying the weight of past experiences. Together, we can work toward understanding these challenges and developing practical tools for change.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I draw from EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I am fully trained in EMDR and have more than 20 years of clinical experience. Our sessions may focus on processing difficult experiences, recognizing unhelpful patterns, strengthening coping skills, and building healthier relationships.

I believe people are more than their diagnoses or past experiences. Therapy should build on your strengths, respect your values, and move at a pace that feels manageable. You don’t need to have all the answers to get started. We’ll work together to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My clinical degree is a Master of Science in Social Administration (MSSA, MSW equivalent) from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio (2016). I completed my Master of Education in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) from University of Cincinnati (2016), and have experience as a provider of ABA services. I have a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University(2020).
