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.

I believe therapy is a space to find inner peace through courage, curiosity, and compassion. The journey toward peace begins with the willingness to be vulnerable—an act that can feel both brave and frightening. Opening up to another person and turning inward to meet ourselves can stir fear and uncertainty, but it becomes gentler in a space free of judgment and shame. My goal is to create that space, where you can explore at your own pace and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding.
With 12+ years of experience supporting those impacted by trauma and other challenges , I use a body-centered, relational approach. I help clients slow down, tune into their bodies, and notice how the past shapes their present. Through curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, I guide healing and deeper connection with self and others.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding addiction therapists in Cincinnati starts with understanding the type of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse patterns, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Cincinnati offers a mix of local therapy options across neighborhoods, nearby suburbs, and virtual care. If local office access, commute time, or appointment timing affects your search, virtual appointments can help expand your options while still keeping care consistent. Recovery often includes changes over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with harm reduction or relapse prevention. Review therapist bios to understand their communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Cincinnati who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and let you check insurance coverage for your plan on Headway. You can compare profiles, check availability, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
