Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.

Over nine years ago my life changed. I lost a son to suicide due to unaddressed mental health needs. A system that was overwhelmed failed him. I returned to school to help close that gap and want to work with others to start their journey towards mental wellness.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Columbus, OH

Finding addiction therapists in Columbus starts with matching your needs to the right clinical background. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, relapse prevention, cravings, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, or outpatient substance abuse counseling. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Columbus has many therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether an in-person office near home, work, or campus fits your schedule, or whether a virtual appointment gives you more flexibility. You can also compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with addiction care.

Addiction therapy in Columbus can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who match your needs, check insurance coverage for your specific plan, and view upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse addiction therapists in Columbus, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
