Common Questions

Questions about therapy in Ohio?

A few things people often ask before reaching out. Have another question? Just send a message.

Kuhr Wellness is based in Gahanna, Ohio, and welcomes clients from New Albany, Westerville, Galena, Minerva Park, Dublin, Johnstown, Reynoldsburg, and the greater Columbus area. We also offer online therapy to clients located anywhere in Ohio, so you can choose whatever feels easiest for you.

Yes. We offer secure online therapy sessions to anyone located in Ohio. You can meet from home, work, or wherever you feel comfortable — no commute needed.

We work with adults, teens, and families on anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD (including EMDR), and teen and adolescent support.

Yes. Kuhr Wellness is in-network with several major plans, including Aetna, UnitedHealthcare/UBH/Optum, Medical Mutual, Ohio Health Choice, and Ohio Healthy. It is a good idea to call your insurer first to confirm your mental health benefits, copay, and deductible.

Individual sessions are $165. Your first 15-minute consultation is free, and we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and HSA.

Start with a free 15-minute consultation — a no-pressure conversation to see if working together feels like a good fit. Reach out through the contact page and we will get back to you.

Once someone is 18 or older, they will need to reach out and schedule the appointment themselves. We know it comes from a caring place, but adults have to take that first step on their own — it is an important part of the process.

Yes! For clients under 18, a parent or legal guardian sets up the appointment and provides consent. We find it important to build a trusting relationship directly with the teen, so parents stay minimally involved — but still involved every step of the way.

We work with families of teens to strengthen their relationships — helping make the last years at home together more peaceful, connected, and enjoyable.

You have been carrying this long enough.

Meet Gayle

Warm, real, and easy to talk to

Sometimes life feels like too much — the stress builds, things get complicated, and you realize you have been trying to figure it all out alone for longer than you should. That is where I come in.

I am Gayle, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults, teens, and families. My approach is warm, grounded, and judgment-free. I meet you where you are, ask the right questions, and walk alongside you as you work toward real, lasting change. I am especially passionate about helping high-achieving parents and families heal the emotional patterns they never wanted to pass on — often using EMDR and CBT to get to the root. I welcome anyone ready for real, lasting change.

Clients often say I'm easy to talk to — and that they leave sessions feeling clearer, lighter, and more like themselves. During in-person visits, they also love meeting Dreidel, my certified therapy dog and a beloved part of my practice.
