Therapists in Columbus, OH

We may be a good fit if you struggle with relationship challenges, family of origin, people pleasing, a biting inner critic, self-worth, anxiety, life transitions, or mood management. I work with adult individuals, most of whom are women and/or LGBTQIA+ folx. My therapy style is informed by Internal Family Systems (level one trained), Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (externship trained), and best practices in trauma treatment. Through gentle curiosity and candor, I help untangle harmful patterns, and strengthen habits based on your values.

Sometimes we all need a safe space to share our stories with a caring and unbiased listener, and I want to provide that for you. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years and licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2004. With experience working with many different types of people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, panic, mental and physical illnesses, relationship issues and so on, I am passionate about helping college students, couples, internationals, jobseekers and adults of any age who are seeking emotional healing, mental health, support and direction for their life's struggles and spiritual questions.

Welcome to a space of warmth, non-judgment, and compassion! I love to work with people who are on a journey of self-introspection and discovery. My work experiences include treatment of eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, grief, histories of trauma, and perfectionism. My clients are often looking to heal from burnout, hustle culture, and diet culture. You are the expert of your own life and I am here to help you learn coping skills, improve dynamics in relationships, and build upon the strengths you already have.

I'm Logan (they/them) and I'm an East Asian non-binary person who has lived insight into what it’s like to not be white, cis, or straight in a state like Ohio. I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life, and I also come from a background of being raised in Christian/immigrant communities. I have experience working with the following: QTBIPOC communities, neurodivergent people, and people living with HIV. I’ve also got experience working specifically with trans clients who are exploring their transition process. I think it's crucial to provide empowering and identity-specific therapy spaces, especially for QTBIPOC right now.

We enjoy working with clients who are open to understanding how adverse life experiences negatively impact thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and are ready to do the work of exploring these connections in therapy. We strive to build relationships with our clients based on the foundations of curiosity and empathy in a collaborative setting that is goal-oriented and relaxed, where their true self can be seen and feel accepted. Our overarching hope for clients is that through therapy they would believe they have inherent worth and value as human beings, apart from what they do, have, or what other people think and say about them.

I possess an authentic ability to empathize with others by offering unconditional compassion towards every person, regardless of their walk of life. My goal is to empower my clients in developing the self-acceptance and confidence to make healthy changes, increase quality of life, and move towards healing and balance. My years in the field have been spent working with diverse groups, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, trauma survivors, and those struggling with various mental health issues.

Enliven Health and Wellness Comprehensive Care approaches the health and wellness of our clients holistically, giving equal attention to mental and physical challenges. We believe that true wellness requires coordinated care that is outcomes-focused and provided under one roof.

We strive to be an integral part of your healthcare team and are the right professionals to reach out to when your doctor encourages you to address feelings of anxiety or depression associated with real or imagined physical conditions.

Therapy is a journey toward wholeness not because a person is broken, rather life is filled with challenges and obstacles that can shape us into our greater selves. It takes courage to want to face your problems and break barriers that hinder your growth. While the path toward healing and answers may be arduous, it can be the process that makes life all the more fulfilling and meaningful. And it starts with but a single choice: take the next step. Your future self proudly awaits you beyond a brighter horizon.

My hope in connecting with you is to help you absorb your own insight on helpful and unhelpful behaviors and beliefs that could be keeping you stuck. Each person's experiences help to shape who they are, and my intention is to make sure that you can use the power of your experiences to move forward and to leave old narratives no longer serving you behind.

My name is Beth Pilous-Smith (Licensed in OHIO). As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering individuals. I aim to join you in successfully reaching your goals of repairing/resolving conflicts, lessening distress and emotional pain, solving problems, and enhancing your overall well-being. I work hard to create a safe, calm place where my clients feel supported and heard.

I believe everyone is the master of their life so that I believe my job, as a counselor, is to explore and guide my client to recognize and use their strengths then accompany them navigating out of the struggling period in life. I appreciate to have the privilege being the witness of their journey. I am an immigrant from Taiwan which made me understand the possible barriers from the cultural perspectives. I am fluent in Mandarin and Taiwanese beside English.

Relationships can be the source of our deepest joy or most profound pain. It is my passion to accompany couples and support them in the life-changing work of growing their relationship. Perhaps your life has gotten so busy that you’ve grown distant and feel like roommates? Maybe things have happened that have eroded your trust? Does your relationship lack the spark and intimacy you want? You don’t need to continue living with loneliness, frustration, and disconnection. I can help you learn new ways to communicate, understand, and bond with your partner to discover a new version of your relationship.

Are you in a relationship that's manipulative? Or are you unsure and need some clarity? If you've recently left a challenging relationship, I'm here for you and can be a guiding and healing hand. Relationships are an intricate dance, and we all have moments of imperfection; however, those missteps leave us feeling drained, hurt and afraid. You may feel like you're sacrificing your own needs in order to please your partner. You don’t want them to feel any discomfort even if it' costs of your own well-being. But, amidst all your selfless efforts, you don't feel loved in return. You hope that it will change, but it never does.

I am a psychotherapist with two decades of experience helping my clients transform their lives and relationships. The therapy I provide is experiential, evidence based, directive and collaborative. I approach my clients with warmth, compassion and curiosity. I am skilled at helping my clients heal from the past, recognize internal narratives that aren't serving them anymore, create new stories, find meaning, and learn to establish real connection with themselves and others.
