I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who integrates clinical expertise with Christian values to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe that true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey.

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Services are provided to individuals who are physically in the states of SC, FL, GA, PA and OH.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.

Dr. Magy Martin

Psychologist

Virtual • Ohio


You may be successful in many areas of your life and still feel stuck in your relationships. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments, struggle to communicate, or feel increasingly disconnected. Maybe parenting has become more difficult than you expected, or a major life transition has changed the way you relate to the people you love. I work with adults, couples, and parents who are ready to understand the patterns that keep them stuck and create meaningful change. Together, we look beneath the immediate problem to understand what is happening and develop practical ways to respond differently.

As a doctoral-level Clinical Psychologist, I bring extensive clinical, teaching, and research experience to our work. I have trained thousands of therapists, authored more than 100 research articles, and written eight books. Most importantly, I bring that experience into therapy in a way that is personal and relevant to you, tailoring my work to your goals, strengths, and circumstances.

Happy patient looking away

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
