Therapists in Columbus, OH

I truly believe that we all have personal strengths that help us work through life’s difficulties. We sometimes just need others to help us identify those strengths as well as ways to utilize them to cope and find solutions. I find it a privilege to walk along side clients as they discover their strengths, heal from trauma, and work to repair relationships with self and others.

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.

I am passionate about helping people tap into and cultivate their innate resilience and strengths. My approach focuses on you as a whole person and the mind-body connection, rather than problems or symptoms, in order to achieve healing and wellness. I believe all people are capable of change and growth with the right tools, and I am honored to be invited on your journey to learning and developing those tools. Through a collaborative relationship, I strive to help you better understand yourself and your world, and to create and maintain balance and peace in your life and in your relationships.

Do you feel stuck in life, or haunted by the past? Perhaps you are dealing with a stressful life transition. I know reaching out can be hard and I don't take that lightly. When we work together, I use a compassionate lens with the goal of helping you heal, enhance and grow your strengths, and ease areas of challenge. Currently my practice areas are in working with adults struggling with: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, perfectionism, stress, relationship issues, loss/grief, life transitions, postpartum, and trauma.

Hello and welcome! I understand you feel tired and overwhelmed with life's demands. Your relationship is not what you expected and no longer feels satisfying or “meant to be.” You're struggling to be a “good” parent or partner, or you’re just plain exhausted by all the pressures on you. If you let it, life will put you on an emotional roller coaster! Even if you’re not experiencing turmoil, how do you stay afloat? How do you protect your mind, heart, family, career, future, or relationship? Let me join you to help transform painful an confusing feelings into a healed and fulfilling life. I see clients in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan.

I am a social worker and can help you with beating depression and anxiety. I see patients remotely via telemedicine services. In addition to my degree in social work, I have served in the US Army. I have experience working with clients who experience PTSD, depression, bipolar, grief, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. I would like to help my clients reach their goals and help them in finding the right tools to beat their conditions.

For many clients, achieving their goals means increasing their capacity for acceptance of themselves and others, empathy and understanding of others, and being able to manage and share their emotions. I believe that a positive outcome of a successful counseling relationship is much more than the absence of symptoms or illness. Rather, it's the sustained ability to enthusiastically engage in all aspects of life: relationships, marriage and family, work, friends, and community.

Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.

I enjoy supporting clients on their unique journey of profound self-exploration and ongoing healing. In a safe and non-judgmental space, we will explore how identities and unconscious downloads collide with values, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I take an integrated and person-centered approach that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and emphasizes client agency and expertise. I am passionate about serving individuals from marginalized and historically underrepresented populations, especially members of the Global Majority and the LGBTQ+ community.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." --Maya Angelou. Suffering is often silent. We hold back our sadness, loneliness, resentment & shame. We think that pushing these feelings aside will allow us to live the life we desire. Yet, if you find yourself unable to move forward, I would be honored to sit alongside you as you process your story. Your pain. Your joy. Your sorrow, self-doubt and hatred. It is my goal that through my nonjudgmental ear you feel seen, heard, accepted & cared for. It is in this space that we can overcome the hardships of your past or future, & embrace the light that is within you.

If you’re reading this, I congratulate you on your courage and determination to seek help. Authenticity, self-alliance, and curious exploration are the core themes of my therapy. I view well-being holistically from a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens, i.e. your early life upbringing, biology, social relationships, stressful life events, demographics (e.g. culture), conscious and subconscious thought patterns, emotional skills, and society all influence your mental health. In practice, I blend empirically supported treatments with energy / spiritual work and social justice informed by 10 years of training and practice.

I have the ability to treat clients who find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-worth, family/marital issues, stage of life struggles, trauma, and/or sexual identity/dysphoria. I see clients ranging in age from 12 and older.

I approach counseling in a client-centered way in order to guide and support clients to help them reach their goals and live authentic lives. My experience includes school, community agency and private practice settings. I assist teens and adults of all ages to navigate the challenges that come with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self confidence, relationship issues and life changes. I use a variety of different techniques in order to help clients to build a deeper understanding of themselves as well as a more secure sense of self.

My name is Ashley Howard, and I am the owner of Ashley Nicole Counseling Services. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who provides teletherapy services to young adults and adults. I am available for in-person sessions on Sunday's only. Clinically, I am most successful working with individuals who are looking to work on relationship issues (peer, family, romantic, parent-child, work, etc), anxiety, depression, and parenting struggles. I enjoy helping clients identify their goals, develop skills to work toward those goals, and feel more confident in their own abilities.

Hello and welcome! I enjoy working with women, college students, survivors of trauma, folks on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and anyone facing stress around anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, boundary setting and relationship concerns. I specialize in working with ages 18-40. I value authenticity and transparency and believe the relationship in therapy is the key element to a powerful experience. We get more from therapy when we are open. Often, we are not getting our needs met out of fear or avoidance, and therapy is a great way to practice embodiment, taking space and being present as your authentic self.

How many times in the last three months have you said, " I really need to go talk to someone?" Are you managing the lives of all of your family members and just can't get a grasp on your own shit? Have you recently gone through a major life transition and can't make heads or tails of what life looks like now? Perhaps you are just wanting to feel better and know there are things from your past that are holding you back. Thank you for reading my profile as finding "the right" the therapist can be overwhelming.

I welcome clients of all backgrounds including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, and religions. I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with issues related to food, body image, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-compassion, and self-worth.

Ideally, their goals would be to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. My ideal client would be able to put in the necessary work to accomplish their goals. My therapy style is authentic, empathetic, and validating. I believe in incorporating various treatment modalities that are based on the individual needs of my clients.
