Trauma Focused Therapists in Columbus, OH
I work with both Individuals and Couples as they seek greater fulfillment in their lives and relationships. Individual therapy with me will feel like you’re telling your story. By providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space you’ll be able to approach the difficulties you have had and are currently facing. By engaging your story in this space, you’ll be able to understand yourself and the world around you in a new way that will lead to healing and growth. My approach with couples is similar in that I hope to help you engage each other in new ways, fostering fulfilling patterns of connection and attachment.

I am a couples, trauma, and Personality Disorder specialist, as well as an AAMFT approved supervisor. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are often successful in parts of their lives but struggling in others such as their relationships. Most have already tried to fix the problem, or have been in therapy, without lasting change. The issue is rarely lack of effort. It is knowing what to do and how to apply it. This is not cookie cutter therapy. The work is selected and adapted based on what will actually be effective for you.

I feel the most helpful with clients who experience unmanaged symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Addiction, Grief and Trauma. Left unmanaged, these disorders can decrease our sense of self worth. A variety of other issues might develop such as relationship conflicts, loneliness, phobias, panic attacks, and substance abuse. Along with empowering individuals to become mentally strong, I enjoy helping Couples improve their relationship. Whether it's teaching communication skills, conflict resolution skills or endeavoring to heal from specific events and issues, there are gains we can make by working together.

My philosophy for therapy is “you only get out of it what you put into it” so if you are open to talking through life stressors while utilizing helpful skills and tools, I am the therapist for you!
As a therapist, I want to empower my clients to be the best version of themselves, while also showing love and compassion for their flaws, because hey, we're all human! I enjoy being a therapist because life is a rollercoaster and we have to learn to ride the ups and downs of life and it is okay to have someone there to help you along the ride!

You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself—like your mind and body are always bracing for something. It can feel like you are always “on,” even when you want to rest. I help adults heal from trauma and anxiety so they can feel safer, more grounded, and more in control of their lives.
In therapy, we don’t rush the process or push you to revisit things before you’re ready. Instead, we focus first on helping your mind and body feel safer and more stable. From there, we gently begin to process what you’ve been carrying—at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your experience.

Have you reached a point in your life where continuing down the same path seems impossible but you aren’t sure which direction you want to go? Or perhaps you know the direction you would like to move in but just aren’t quite sure how to get there? Maybe you get confused or overwhelmed by your emotions. You find yourself withdrawing, panicking, drinking, or using other coping strategies that served you in the past but no longer provide the relief you seek. These are common reasons clients choose to engage in therapy with me.

People seeking improvement or understanding in their lives can almost always benefit from talking things through. Whether you want to explore childhood issues, heal from trauma, deal with work stress, address anxiety and depression symptoms, or something else, I can help you accomplish your goals. Do you feel un-help-able? Having spent ten years in community mental health, I have worked with people from all walks of life, with all different needs, and feel comfortable talking with most people about most things.

Poly. ENM. CNM. Kink. You know who you are — and you're not here for someone to validate it. You're here because navigating dating, desire, and relationships in these configurations is genuinely complicated, and somewhere underneath all of it you're carrying self-doubt, guilt, anxiety, and desires and worries you've never said out loud to anyone. I'm Amy Hauer, LISW-S, a kink-aware, ENM-affirming therapist and sexuality educator with nearly 30 years in sex-positive community. I didn't learn to affirm your life through a training. I came from it. Your desires are not the problem, the shame around them is.

You've tried therapy and something essential kept getting missed — because the approach was built for a different kind of brain. Maybe you were never diagnosed. Maybe you were, but weren't given the right strategies for your ADHD, Autistic, or AuDHD self. Maybe no clinician has ever accounted for the intensity and complexity of life as a gifted adult, the gap between how capable you appear and how much everything actually costs. I'm an ADHD therapist with nearly 20 years working with neurodivergent adults. Managing isn't the same as living. You know that — and some part of you has never stopped looking for something better.

Care, mindfully delivered when life feels overwhelming. Feeling emotionally overburdened, burned out, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change? You’re not broken—and you’re not alone. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, intense emotions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and life transitions, especially when everything feels like “too much” at once.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted—managing mood swings, emotional reactivity, chronic stress, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others.
