MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES:
If you are having a mental health emergency, you should go directly to the hospital emergency department, or call 911, or call 988 (The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number). Emergencies are urgent situations and require immediate action. You can also call Netcare Access, which has a 24/7 emergency hotline for mental health issues in the Columbus area, by calling (614) 276-2273 (CARE).
Mental Health Counseling Services
Eva works with clients to identify goals that improve communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. She is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is often more effective and efficient than traditional talk therapy and can be used to treat a lot of problems. She incorporates other methods to support a lasting change.
Eva takes an integrated approach to support self-exploration and awareness. She works collaboratively with clients to help uncover connections between symptoms, moods, and the mind-body relationship, empowering you on your healing journey. Eva invites you to take the first step by scheduling an appointment today.
