Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. is a group of highly trained professionals providing mental health services based in Columbus, Ohio. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, focusing on young adults. We are also experts in LGBTQIA+ and ENM/ polyamory. Many of our clients have found great success in many facets of their lives but struggle to manage their emotions and stress. We are particularly sensitive to those experiencing life transitions like moving, a breakup, changing jobs, graduating, or beginning a new relationship when self-doubt and increased anxiety and depression can emerge.
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so that they can begin making targeted and sustainable changes. Our clinicians blend person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and acceptance, and commitment therapy. We help clients understand their physical and emotional responses to stressors and learn to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change.
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. focuses on ensuring our clients see real progress. We are warm, laid back, and affirming. We are sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and we work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and self-compassion. Our priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. We offer the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.

Elizabeth Tener
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you are dealing with ongoing sadness and fear, grief, unfulfilling work or unhappy relationships, you do NOT need to live under those shadows. For 30+ years, it has been my honor to help adults of all ages, orientations and cultural backgrounds lift that darkness and free the motivated, life-affirming and fun-loving parts of themselves that are already there to be uncovered. I use the Internal Family Systems model (more info: ifs-institute.com) and Imago therapy for couples. I use the resources of clients' spirituality, however, they experience it. I listen carefully and quietly, checking often to see if the clients feel heard, witnessed, and understood. My interventions strive always for greater healing, eventually transformation.
