Career Counseling Therapists in Columbus, OH

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.

I help experts get out of the hamster wheel. They overcome the self-sabotages of procrastination, overeating, overdrinking, and more. My clients want a clear result, but feel stuck on doing it themselves. They've tried all the regular tips and tricks. I help them achieve the result and cheer them along on each step.

Welcome! Do you notice feeling overwhelmed or just not like yourself? Are you working to overcome trauma or compassion fatigue? My name is Marcia Kostoff and I am excited for the opportunity to meet with you. Stress and anxiety, while normal parts of life, can quickly leave us feeling overwhelmed, our thoughts stuck on what-ifs or worst-case scenarios and unsure where to turn. Changes in jobs, moving, family stressors and loss are just some of the obstacles we face where we may notice our stress rise and need some support. You are in the right place. Together, I work with you to develop skills you can use in therapy and beyond.

A myriad of reasons can lead someone to therapy. What if you aren't necessarily struggling, but you just want to know yourself better? Maybe you're an intellectually curious person who's tried to make sense of things for a while, but you aren't necessarily ill. Therapists can be unsure how to work with this as they're often pathology-based. Philosophy, which ponders the deeper "whys" of things, can help--but it can be overwhelming without a guide. We, as a team, can examine where you are and where you want to go.

I am passionate about helping others find unique and creative solutions to problems. I believe in the ability to utilize art and craft as a way of both coping with and processing these challenges and traumas, along side traditional talk therapy. I am supportive of lifestyles outside of the "normative" culture, and see the beauty in these differences. Understanding the way our personal core values interact with the values of the world around us gives us the opportunity to feel safe and secure in our decisions and actions.

I am prepared to provide clients from diverse backgrounds the space to explore cognitive and emotional traumas in a therapeutic way utilizing evidence-based techniques.

I'm glad you are here, it is often difficult to take that first step. My philosophy is that in an instant, life can change - bringing about shock, pain and interruption to our day-to-day routine. Even a seemingly positive change can cause feelings of overwhelm, loneliness and a sense of feeling lost. Help is needed to deal with these new feelings. As a result, I will work collaboratively in telehealth sessions with you to restore or bring about serenity.

Whether you're having trouble adjusting to a change in your life, struggling with/want to improve your mental health, need help finding/changing careers, or you just need a push and plan to help you achieve your wildest dreams, I’m here to help.

Do you find you are missing your voice? That you have spent your whole life identifying as someone else's "something" - whether that be someone's spouse, partner, friend, co-worker, mother, leader, etc... Do you know what drives you or what you are passionate about?? This is where I come in...let's work together to find your voice... your direction. Whether you are an individual person or a couple trying to find that synergy you remember, but can no longer find. Come on...let's start this journey together - and from YOUR SAFE SPACE!

I believe that people have the ability to change and heal through talk therapy. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment where my clients can become the individuals they want to be. My therapeutic style is an integration of psychodynamic, humanistic, and interpersonal therapies, while always holding cultural identities and values. I use mind/body based practices to help individuals reduce stress and increase their sense of connectedness to themselves and others. I assist my clients in identifying barriers, maximizing their strengths, and building self-compassion from a position of empathy and genuineness.

Are you struggling with anxious or ruminating thoughts, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, lethargy, lack of motivation, or isolation, which may have been manageable previously but now is an issue? You may struggle with creating a support network or having boundaries with others. Are there unresolved trauma issues that you may not be acknowledging? You are looking for insight & help with your active symptoms, like managing your anxiety, ruminating thoughts, or negative self-talk. You would like to develop coping skills that are easily applicable to your daily routine while increasing the quality of your supports.

I am experienced in working with late teens, young adults, couples, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, neurodiversity concerns, and relationship problems. Therapy can help you better understand yourself and others, make changes, feel better, and move forward to a more satisfying life.

Hey, Hey, Hey Strong Friend! How are you really doing? Are you tired of being sick and tired? Overwhelmed with trying to figure life out on your own? Does it seem like one thing after another continues to take place and you just can't seem to get a hold on any situation. Are you looking for the right skills, strategies and routines? Do you wish that there was someone in your life like YOU, someone that just gets it? Someone caring and concerned, willing to just listen and provide you with the feedback necessary to help you go from surviving to thriving.

I view counseling as a partnership between an individual or family and their therapist. When the theraputic relationship is strong I believe much can be accomplished. I work with individuals, adolescents and families as a partner in the process of wholeness. I believe that counseling can assist in the development of an understanding of yourself, your family and enhancing important relationships in your life.
