Therapists in Far North, Columbus, OH

Your life feels heavy, hopeless, chaotic and out of control. Your mind is racing, you’re exhausted from people-pleasing and your self-confidence is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, and stress are ruling your life, and it feels as if you may never feel peace again. Maybe you are a parent trying to find balance and control in the midst of chaos, but wearing a mask so that your abilities are not questioned. You struggle with guilt, comparison, and nothing ever feels like it is enough. You have thoughts that you could never say out loud to friends and family, all the while desperate for support. You need to find yourself.

Seeking help is an act of bravery that deserves an environment of trust and acceptance. I work to create a safe, welcoming space that encourages healing and positive change. If you are experiencing the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or other emotional concerns, I can help guide you through identifying and achieving your goals.

I am passionate about working alongside people on their journeys to becoming versions of themselves they want and choose to be.I work with clients to identify strengths they already possess, but might not even notice, and then apply those strengths and abilities to work towards their goals and desired changes. I believe a supportive, nonjudgmental space is key to unlocking potential. I use evidence-based interventions from a strengths-based perspective to ensure best outcomes for clients. I believe everyone deserves the space, energy and time to become the person they want to be.I have experience working with adolescents and adults.

Hi, I'm Brent Flory, licensed professional counselor and founder of OakTree Counseling in Columbus, Ohio. When my infant son died, I felt devastated and lost. Like many grieving people, I felt numb and uncertain of how to move forward. My healing journey leaped forward when I was introduced to The Grief Recovery Method. After completing the program, I felt free of the pain, shame and isolation that had tormented me for years. I learned how to say goodbye to all the unrealized hopes and dreams that I had for my son's life. I then changed the focus of OakTree Counseling to helping others who have suffered loss to recover and flourish.

Hello! My name is Cheryl Cox, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio. I have treated individuals seeking therapy for over 13 years, in-home, in-person within medical clinics and private practice and recently via online therapy for approximately 2 years.

As a Marriage & Family therapist, I'm attuned to clients’ interconnected webs of relationships even when working 1-on-1. My experience & training with families & couples enables me to walk with clients through (re)discovering their connectedness to those they love. I’m most passionate about exploring clients’ stories & listening for places where personal narratives might differ from others’. This often provides spaces for clients to explore new or neglected understandings of themselves & their relationships leading to preferred, more fulfilling future stories. I enjoy working with clients across cultural, sexual& gender identities.

If you have adult ADHD, you likely know about struggles with distraction, managing your time, overwhelming emotions, and difficulty getting things done. You may even be trying to compensate with perfectionism, overworking, or avoiding stressful things completely. You’re tired of feeling like life is messy, and even more tired of the impact that feeling scattered has on your self-esteem. You long to feel more understood, to build confidence, and to follow through on your commitments. To get a solid grasp on life.
