Female Therapists in Northwest Columbus, Columbus, OH

Are you seeking treatment to enrich your life? Are you willing to explore your past, present, and future to gain insight into your illnesses? Are you willing to do the work with me guiding you?

I am a licensed psychologist who has been in private practice for more than three decades. I believe in carefully listening and then being interactive. I share ideas and possible things to do to challenge old behaviors and erroneous beliefs about oneself. I am a big believer in when one has a bigger picture of one’s self and their back story then real change can occur.

Often times we get stuck in patterns related to our thoughts or behaviors that get in the way of us getting to where we want to go. I am glad you are here to change those patterns. I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Life Stressors, Trauma, and Self-Esteem. My experience includes working with children, teens, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Hello! I am Dr. Emily Deming. I am a queer psychologist who is passionate about making therapy a space to not only reflect but also to learn. I have first hand experience with supporting a neurodivergent partner and integrating into a multiracial family. I believe that therapy is a learning process and I strive to make sure that my clients leave our sessions with a toolkit they can handle life’s ups and downs with. As the expert on your life, your child, or your family, my clients are an essential part of developing individualized treatment plans focused on their needs and goals.

It is my passion to reach clients who have given up hope that they can change. If you are someone who has unsuccessfully sought counseling (or has never tried counseling) for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bad relationships, or trauma/PTSD, I would love to have the opportunity to work with you! I promise you a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can process through your pain and can come out the other side being changed in ways you never thought possible. It would be a privilege to walk on that journey with you!

With over 30 years experience in community agency and private practice, I serve clients from wide ranging backgrounds, with an extensive range of presenting issues. I view "problem" behaviors in a non-pathologizing way: we're all trying our best, using self-protective approaches to life's challenges that we've developed along the way, some of which may no longer serve us well. I use a humanistic, mindfulness-based approach in a safe, accepting and confidential environment. With every client who enters my office, I am honored and inspired by the uniqueness of each individual as well as the commonality of our shared human experience

I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, emotional management, poor self-esteem, experiencing grief and loss; who are motivated and open to change and doing homework, and who desire to be a healthier version of themselves.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

Life is hard AND there is hope! As my clients work through their issues/concerns, whether it be grief/loss, struggles in their relationships - both romantic and platonic, and/or postpartum hurdles, it is a joy and honor to walk alongside them and show them that hope.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor through the State of Ohio Counselor and Social Work Board. I have over 10+ years of experience working with children, adolescents and families in a variety of settings (including the school setting and psychiatric hospital setting). I work with children and adolescents ages 10-21 and treat a range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, parenting challenges, school concerns and mood disorders. Whatever the presenting problem, I place a strong emphasis on family focused treatment and use a collaborative approach to every client.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

Choosing the right therapist to hear your story and support your healing process is a very personal and important decision. I provide therapy that is affirming, holistic, and collaborative, and I create an environment where honest self-exploration and healing can occur. Individuals see me for a range of concerns including anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, grief and loss, and gender and sexuality concerns.

Are you suffering from trauma & finding it holding you back from living your true, authentic life? From my experience, I can see how challenging a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be on a person, & working with someone open to learning new skills to manage it better can be very rewarding! I enjoy working with people who are suffering from anxiety or depressive disorder as I have seen the progress my clients have made in those areas & I love to watch them start to live a more satisfying life. I am here to assist with any life transitions, relationship issues, grief, or OCD/phobias that are preventing you from your goals.

I specialize in working with adults who face challenges related to cognitive distortions, low self-esteem, and attachment styles. My goal is to support clients who possess the motivation and determination to become the best version of themselves. Together, we will navigate the path to self-improvement, guided by your own aspirations and supported by evidence-based techniques. My ideal client is someone who understands that personal growth often requires hearing what they need, rather than what they want. They are ready to confront their past and acquire personalized skills for a better future.

I am well versed in treating anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, trauma, attachment issues, ADHD, personality quirks, and much more. I approach each client in a unique manner, meeting them where they are at and taking time to build a therapeutic relationship. I use evidenced based treatment strategies inclusive of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused, Choice Theory, and more including trauma informed methods. I attempt to incorporate the client’s hobbies and interests into treatment and offer a hopeful, optimistic, client centered approach.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who struggle with issues related to food, body image, anxiety, and depression. I am a passionate advocate for my clients and believe in providing high quality, evidence-based care designed to support each individual’s goals. I operate from a strengths-based, person-centered approach and work to empower individuals and families to live their best, most balanced lives. I currently practice via telehealth only.

I believe that people have within all they need to heal. Seeking counseling is a courageous step and I want to walk with you on your journey. I strive to help people connect with all parts of themselves, recognize their ability to heal from painful past experiences and release whatever is holding them back. My goal is to help each person recognize their innate wholeness that is untouched by life events and circumstances. Connecting with this wholeness first can help you feel more confident about addressing your emotional pain and facing life's challenges.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and hopeless? You are not alone and don’t have to navigate these challenges by yourself. We all need help at some point in our lives. I believe that you have within you the capacity to heal, grow, and find peace within your life. My role is to walk alongside you, in a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment to help you uncover who you truly are underneath the pain. Individuals see me for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, chronic illness, and life transitions.
