and desires is often an essential part of that journey, and I would be glad to join you as

Hello and welcome! I'm a psychologist who has had my practice for almost 15 years. I have previously worked in hospitals, universities, and nursing facilities, but I have found working in private practice is my strength and also my passion. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University in 2009, and I moved from NYC to Ohio in 2020. So I get to see patients both in New York and Ohio.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Columbus, OH
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Columbus starts with finding care that clearly centers affirming support. Look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse care, affirmative therapy, or WPATH-informed training in their profiles. These signals can matter when you want support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or stress. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you understand whether their background matches what you want to address.
Columbus has many therapy options, which can make it useful to narrow your search by more than specialty alone. Some people prefer an office near work, school, or home, while others use virtual appointments to expand access to affirming therapists across Ohio. You can also compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and personal fit signals like background or identity. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ communities and what you may expect from sessions.
Therapy in Columbus can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Columbus who are accepting new clients, compare bios and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can book directly when you’re ready.
