Hi! My name is Ali and I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. I have about ten years of experience in end-of-life care and individual therapy.

As a social worker, I believe in accepting and advocating for clients of all backgrounds, identities, beliefs, and preferences.

I am open and honest with all my clients. I have an LISW and have work in the mental health field since I was 21, starting with working in direct care in a child residential facility, to a Workshop for intellectually disabled adults, assistant to psychologist who performed psychological testing, to 4 years as a therapist. Personally I am married with 2 wonderful children and prefer to read novels on my free time.
My name is Courtney, and I am a Master's prepared Social Worker that provides telehealth services to individuals living in North Carolina, Connecticut, Tennessee and Texas. I specialize in helping adults (18+) cope with and navigate through challenging life transitions. My areas of expertise include chronic illness, anxiety, depression, grief and family conflict.
I am a calm and inviting person who seeks to ensure each session is a safe place. Once we gain rapport, I am very intentional about challenging my clients with the intent for them to grow and heal. I hold it as a great honor to walk with each individual or family on their health and healing journey.
My name is Queen Watson (yes that's my real name) and I’m a Cincinnati, OH native. I attended The Ohio State University for my bachelor's degree in psychology and obtained my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. As a Black therapist, I take pride in providing a safe space for individuals to address the impact of a system that villainizes those experiencing side effects of the human condition and directly challenge the stereotype of what therapists should look or act like. My ideal clients are adults experiencing or seeking: identify affirming care (i.e., LGBT+, BIPOC), ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, seeking stronger intra- and interpersonal relationships, intense anger, and mood disorders.
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 easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Columbus starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed independent social workers (LISWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Columbus has a large and diverse provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Short North, German Village, Worthington, Upper Arlington, and Hilliard — as well as many who offer virtual sessions. When narrowing your options, consider what matters most: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual visits, and their availability. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good fit before committing to a session.
Therapy in Columbus can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
