Attachment-based Therapists in Columbus, OH

I see counseling as a pathway that helps people discover their strengths and gain tools to better navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity confusion, life transitions, or other difficult life circumstances. In a therapeutic relationship, you can process your feelings and thoughts in a safe space. My hope is that clients will be seen, be heard, and be known in the process, which empower you toward the positive change you want to see in your life.

So often, we wear masks for the benefit of those around us while inside, we suffer. I want to normalize that even though you've been through a lot, there's hope that things can improve. If you want a therapist who takes a non-judgmental stand to support you and guide you through your problems, let me help you. I identify with a culturally sensitive approach because vulnerability is difficult for anyone, and having someone who understands you can help.

Hi! My name is Erin. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist at Ebb & Flow Counseling. Congratulations to you on taking your first steps towards healing and growth! I believe counseling is a collaborative experience, and I enjoy working in tandem to create a plan to meet your unique goals that align with your values. I also believe in creating a safe space of zero judgment to allow authenticity to flourish. I strive to help clients explore all aspects of their lives through a compassionate lens. You are uniquely you! Therefore, I find it important to explore what techniques and skills are best for your journey.

I love to see my clients become empowered to reach their goals and find new ways to heal, grow, and move forwards. I am an LPCC-S with experience treating adults, teens, and kids. I have extensive experience with college students having worked in a University counseling center prior to moving to private practice.

I am a licensed social worker and have experience working with individuals impacted by a wide range of mental health challenges such as Mood and anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, Schizophrenia, trauma and dissociative disorders. I enjoy working with individuals who have been impacted by adoption and developmental and complex trauma. When trauma touches our life it can impact many parts including the ability to build healthy attachments and connections with others and even ourself. I work with a diverse population and provide gender affirming therapy services.

I am thrilled to be practicing at Columbus Therapy and Hypnosis – this is truly a dream come true for me! I work with individuals, couples and families seeking help with a variety of issues such as communication, conflict resolution, self-esteem, infidelity, behavioral issues, trauma, PTSD and psychophysiological disorders. I am currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) program at National University and am a state recognized MFT intern practicing under the supervision of Yvonne Judge.

I am accepting new clients and can schedule you within 1-2 weeks of contact. I have been working as a therapist with children, adolescents and adults for over 10 years. I specialize in seeing children, teens and young adults. My ideal client would be someone who is looking for help with their anxiety, depression, codependency and attachment patterns, unhealthy relationship patterns and/ or want to learn about why they continue to repeat habits and behaviors they don't want to do anymore. I like to help my client understand themselves deeper and get to the root of depression or anxiety/overthinking symptoms.

As an inclusive gender affirming therapist in Ohio, I help clients who are experiencing gender dysphoria, anxiety, self-criticism and shame, who are wanting to challenge their inner critic, deconstruct shame, and show compassion toward every part of themselves. I've witnessed the pain that shame causes, as well as the healing power of strengthening self-compassion and developing shame resilience. There are many different reasons we experience shame, but it leads to feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, fear of vulnerability, anxiety, and countless other difficult emotions. If any of these resonated with you, you are not alone.

Providing education and facts surrounding sex, intimacy, and relationships is so important, especially when it was absent or shrouded in fear, shame, or mystery while growing up. Too many of us have received inaccurate or little information about sex and our bodies. I want to provide a space for you to explore and understand how sex and intimacy fit in with who you are now to promote safety, pleasure, and connection. I am EMDR trained and am in the process of completing my Sex Therapist Certification from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).

I understand the strength that it takes to reach out for support. Life and relationships can be painfully complicated and messy. I am here to work through your concerns along with you and to provide support while you navigate challenges and life transitions. I will remain focused on your treatment goals and conduct sessions in an ethical and professional manner.

It makes perfect sense that you're feeling this way. This is unprecedented. 2020 has been identified as a time of "collective trauma". We are experiencing similar anxiety provoking circumstances: crisis of health, loss of income, uncertainty, isolation, guilt and death. Divorce rates are up. Addiction statistics are sky rocketing. We're in the middle of experiencing trauma and many of us can't recognize the symptoms. And if we do, we feel hopeless and helpless. We're not. We need connection. We need to be reminded of our shared and personal humanity. Whatever is troubling you, you've done this alone for long enough. I can help you.

When you're with me, trust that it will be a HIPAA compliant, safe and secure experience, with optional, scheduled office appointments upon request. Who is a typical client and what brings him or her to seek help? You are an individual who may have a busy schedule, a family, or perhaps a physical or psychological mobility issue. You are someone who may have no previous exposure to therapy, counseling or consultation services, or someone who is a seasoned traveler. Whatever the reason, your comprehensive needs are my professional priority.

I first give you so much credit for your courage and steps towards healing. I am here to support you along your journey. I work with clients of all walks of life, though I specialize in sexual abuse and traumatic events. Healing is possible, and there is a light on the other side. While it may be difficult to trust, together we can work towards your goals and a life liberated from the pain of the past, where you can embrace the future. If you are struggling, the first step is knowing you are worthy of support, and seeking it out. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey!

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.

You are tired of being overwhelmed, stressed out, misunderstood, taken advantage of. You give your all in every area of life, but it still seems like it is not enough. Life comes with all kinds of obstacles, troubles, hurts, and disappointments. I walk alongside my clients as they encounter these experiences and aid them to experience the hope, strength, and possibilities that are possible beyond these tough moments. Often, incidents from earlier in our lives may impact us in unexpected ways and require us to take the bold step of seeking help to experience growth and recovery.

As a therapist, my primary focus is to empower you on your path to emotional well-being and personal growth. Through a collaborative and empathetic approach, I aim to create a safe & non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll navigate challenges, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies to foster positive change. Whether you're seeking support for mental health concerns or navigating life transitions, my goal is to assist you in building resilience, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a healthier, more fulfilling life and the best version of YOU!

I provide comprehensive, caring and professional therapuetic services with a specialization in mental health, trauma, adoption issues as well as individual/family counseling. My services enhance self esteem while providing coping skills and fostering resilience and empowerment to make positive change.

Do you feel a nagging sense of “not good enough?" Do you constantly feel like things are unraveling, feel anxious or tense, and have trouble making decisions? If you're being honest, you feel like things haven’t been right for weeks, months…maybe even years? But you might also catch yourself thinking “others have it so much worse, who am I to complain?” Feelings of guilt creeping in when you think about setting boundaries or caring for yourself, thoughts of “I’m being selfish, just get over!” repeating in your mind. You are not alone, your struggles are valid, and you deserve support.

I enjoy working with all types of people, but I especially enjoy accompanying those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community on their journey in finding their innate sense of worth and belonging. I also love working with young adults as they enter the world and create their own way, which can oftentimes be an overwhelming and difficult experience. There is no problem, too big or too small that can be brought to the therapeutic relationship, as they are all important and have meaning and I intend to honor them all. I will work with you in creating and working towards your goals and aspirations in a relaxed and open environment.
