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.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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.

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.
