Hello! I have been practicing mental health counseling for 15 years. I started my career in community mental health, working with people living with severe and persistent mental illness, dual diagnoses, trauma, and homelessness.
I attended The Cleveland Institute of Art for my BA in Fine Art, followed by Ursuline College for my MA in Art Therapy and Counseling.
I specialize in working with trauma, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and chronic health conditions, among others.
In my work with my clients, I strive to practice radical genuineness, meaning I work hard to connect with you as a real live person. To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, parts of my identity including being a transgender person with ADHD, and how I feel in the room, as in if I feel sad or excited about something we talk about. I have found that being present and transparent with my clients has helped me foster trust and build relationships which have led to feelings of belonging and experiencing meaningful change.
I am warm, welcoming, and a problem solver who is committed to empowering others. I can assist you in processing and gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am a trained listener who will focus on helping you feel comfortable while building a therapeutic rapport.
I graduated from the University of Akron with my masters in Social Work. I am a licensed social worker in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. I have worked in public schools, community agencies, psychiatric hospitals, healthcare, and outpatient therapy.
Hello, My name is Josh Kale. I am licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in northeastern Ohio. I have a background in clinical mental health, art therapy and experience working with children, adults and seniors. I approach therapy in a way that is friendly, welcoming and creative. I aspire to be the type of therapist I would want to work with. I would want someone who is kind, caring, creates a safe space and takes time to actively listen without judgement. I am a therapist who is encouraging, understanding and willing to challenge you in a helpful way.
I enjoy talking and working with all individuals and I look forward to working with you...
Hey , I'm glad you're here. Reaching out is the hardest part, and it takes real courage to take that first step.
I'm Krista, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), and I work with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, big life changes,and relationship challenges. Basically, if life has been feeling heavy lately, that's exactly the kind of thing I help people work through.
Spring is a time for renewal and what better time to focus on renewing yourself and your life! In my 16 years as a therapist, I've supported many clients to take a new look at their life and to move toward that renewal. While therapy might feel scary at first, my training and support will make it less so. I can teach you skills through therapies including DBT and EMDR that will allow you to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and more. Your life doesn't have to feel out of control or difficult to manage. I'm here to help. Allow me to walk with you as we work together toward building the healthier life you want and deserve!
Hiya! Thank you so much for taking the time to patiently sift through many profiles to find me. Now that you're here, I will give you my best elevator speech. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and substance use - all the messy, complicated parts. Over 17 years, I’ve done everything from case management to clinical supervision at a community mental health agency and crisis intervention at a managed care company. As a biracial person (Filipina and Polish), I bring personal understanding to those navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and the feeling of not quite fitting in anywhere.
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.
I am trained in EMDR to assist individuals to heal past trauma and grief. I offer ADHD testing and counseling for youth and adults. I treat individuals with depression and anxiety. I have been a licensed professional clinical therapist for over 8 years.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private practice in Ohio, and I've built my work around one simple idea: you deserve care that actually sees you as a person. I offer medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and some therapy, with both telehealth and in-person options so you can choose what works for your schedule and comfort. I take time at the start of every relationship to understand your full situation before we map out a plan. If you want a provider who is going to slow down and be present with you, I'd be glad to work together.

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 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.
