The work is integration

Depth-oriented counseling and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in Columbus and throughout Ohio

I believe therapy is the work of integration: bringing the parts of yourself into deeper relationship so you can show up more fully in your relationships, community, and the life only you can live.

 Welcome to

Counseling services with soul

Sometimes it’s difficult to find hope or break free from learned patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that hold us back. Those same strategies we develop to cope with difficult life experiences can often become the source of difficult consequences, preventing us from living the life that we desire.

Feeling Stuck

Perhaps your life seems to check all the boxes from an outside perspective. But inside you feel stuck, struggling to experience the life you want. Maybe you’re reconciling with traumas from your past, coping with the chronic stress of work or school, or dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, or depression.

Life detour icon

Life Detour

Life may have thrown you an unexpected detour or significant loss, finding yourself at a crossroads in your career or at the end of a significant relationship. Whether planned or a complete shock, these difficult cycles of life mean grieving the loss and creating possibility for what’s ahead.

Growth mindset icon

Growth Mindset

You are self-aware, emotionally insightful, and seeking deeper transformation or change in your life. Things might be going well, but you know you have the potential for more.

Jay Karr in the Reclaim Your Path counseling office

Effective counseling relationships are a combination of art and science built on a foundation of empathy, trust, and hope and supported by evidence-based approaches.

The present moment offers all of the opportunities to discover and heal what's holding you back. My trauma-informed, integrative approach takes advantage of evidence-based strengths while engaging in the meaning-making process, focusing on what matters most to you.

I draw from my evidence-based “toolkit” based on your needs, and may integrate:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • EMDR Therapy
  • Gottman Method for Couples Therapy
  • Relational Life Therapy
