I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you’re feeling into words. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable being yourself.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with young adults who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to navigate all the changes that come with adulthood.
I earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati after working in Children's Protective Services and Juvenile Court facilities. I have years of experience helping children, youth and families connect and function in more healthy ways. I see adults and couples as well, and strive to facilitate healing of hearts and marriages.
I have personal and professional experience in foster parenting and adoption. One of my special areas of interest is the effects of nutrition and exercise on mental health. I have utilized Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for twenty years as a specialty.
I have served OH and MI areas for over 2 decades. Once specializing in children, now I enjoy working with preteens, teens, and adults who can participate more actively in their treatment. I started specializing in trauma in 2016 after I completed extensive training.
Hi, I'm Tiffani. I want to warmly welcome you and commend you for taking the courageous step to making yourself a priority. Life's challenges are unique to each of us, and it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed at times. My aim is to offer a supportive and safe space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help you overcome obstacles and work towards feeling your best.
I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve
University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized
trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before
I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason
I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,
manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults
individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience
with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept
insurance through Headway.
Michael Bell's journey to psychiatry was a vast and aw-inspiring as the Florida skies of his youth, where he watched space shuttles carve paths to the stars. Initially set on a course toward surgey, a path forged by his experiences as a U.S. Army medic, a chance encounter with a poem by Emily Dickson - "The Brain" - is wider than the sky" - ignited a new passion, but within the intricate, infinite universe of the human mind. This became his new frontier.
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) dedicated to helping kids, adults, and families find balance, strength, and clarity. Over my career, I have helped neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals from diverse backgrounds across many settings, including family care centers, community agencies, the family court system, and schools. Before becoming a clinical therapist, I started out in early childhood education. Post graduation with a Master of Social Work , I have been a community liaison, school-based social worker, behavior specialist, child advocate, and school-based mental health therapist. This background gives me a deep understanding of what shapes and influences life, allowing me to see your unique story through a big-picture lens.
Parts-work meets trauma treatment: heal from anxiety & trauma and regain peace with IFS-EMDR. My name is Akemi, psychotherapist in Ohio. I have deep appreciation for and training in IFS and EMDR, and also incorporate CBT and mindfulness. Born in Japan, I’ve lived and worked in the US, UK, and the Middle East. My former training in art history, archaeology, ancient languages shaped my passion for human experiences. I've transitioned to help people like you reconnect with your parts, embrace who you are, and step forward with purpose.
With over 11 years of experience as a therapist I am
passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families
navigate life’s challenges and find healing through evidence-
based and compassionate care. I hold a Master’s degree in
Social Work from Western Kentucky University and have
dedicated my career to supporting clients in achieving
emotional wellness and personal growth.
I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges in a warm, judgment-free space.
I've spent years caring for people navigating the challenges that come with anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I believe real change is possible for anyone willing to take the first step. My background spans both medical and behavioral health, which means I approach your mental health as part of your whole health story, not in isolation. Working remotely allows me to meet you where you are, offering the flexibility that busy, full lives deserve. Whether you're managing daily stress, working through difficult emotions, or looking for a fresh start, I'm here to help you move toward the life you want.
I am open and honest with all my clients. I have an LISW and have work in the mental health field since I was 21, starting with working in direct care in a child residential facility, to a Workshop for intellectually disabled adults, assistant to psychologist who performed psychological testing, to 4 years as a therapist. Personally I am married with 2 wonderful children and prefer to read novels on my free time.

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 Ohio
Searching for therapists in Ohio starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across a state with large metro areas, smaller cities, and rural communities, available therapists and care options can vary by location. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare Ohio therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience listed in each bio, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Location and format also matter when choosing therapy in Ohio. If you live near Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati, you may have a wider range of in-person options, while virtual appointments can expand your search across more licensed Ohio therapists. Consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their schedule works with yours. Reading a therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care before you book.
The cost of Ohio therapy can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan as you search, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to take new patients.
