Our Services
We strive to provide the highest levels of knowledge and compassion within each person’s counseling journey. Our expertise includes specialized treatment for eating disorders, as well as practicing individual, marital and family therapy.
What We Do
At Kovacs Counseling, we believe that by providing an environment of safety, trust and hope, people can change, grow and heal. We strive to help people see improvements in their relationship with themselves, with food, and with others.
Eating Disorders
Kovacs Counseling adheres to an anti-diet, weight neutral, Health at Every Size® framework and serves individuals and families struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem, and related issues. We are also experienced in helping those with diabetes, PCOS, POTS, ASD, and ADHD who may be struggling with food and body challenges.
We believe in collaborative, multidimensional care that supports clients in challenging their eating disorder voice, fueling their bodies, confronting cycles of “yo-yo dieting” and other disordered eating patterns, and healing their relationships with food. We maintain partnerships with other eating disorder professionals in the Columbus area, and we are happy to provide referrals and work with them to achieve best outcomes.
Individual Counseling
In addition to eating disorders, we also are specialized in treating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, issues specific to veterans, and perinatal mental health. We are gifted at connecting one-on-one with people. Through the context of the therapeutic relationship, you will be able to confront the patterns, fears, pain, and challenges you are facing. You can grow in meaningful ways and move towards healing and restoration. Experience increased joy, purpose, and self-compassion.
Marital Therapy
Marital therapy involves an assessment of the relationship to better understand each partner’s role in the current relationship struggles. Often times couples will come to therapy feeling “stuck” as if they have tried everything but continue to have the same patterns of behavior over and over again.
Marital therapy can provide a new lens through which to understand current struggles, as well as hope for how to move toward patterns of behavior and communication that bring more joy and intimacy into the relationship.
Family Therapy
Family life can be the source of tremendous joy, love, and intimacy, and it can also bring conflict, destructive patterns of behavior, and frustration with one or more members that are struggling due to disruptive moods and depressive or anxious symptoms.
Whatever pattern your family has fallen into, family therapy can provide hope for getting “unstuck” and finding new ways of interacting with each other that can reclaim the joy, love, and intimacy that everyone once shared.
Therapy will include an assessment of the family, in order to better understand current relational patterns and how they may be derailing a positive family experience, as well as ongoing sessions structured around the specific needs of the family.
PreMarital Therapy
PreMarital therapy is for those who are seeking to build a strong relational foundation in the marriage. Therapy can move at the couple’s desired pace. PreMarital therapy will typically cover the following topics, however sessions can be customized to best meet each couple’s specific needs:
- Communication (How do we argue?)
- Boundaries with extended family
- Finances
- Children/Parenting
- Religion/Spirituality
- Roles/Responsibilities
- Sexual preferences/expectations
- Rituals/Traditions
Art Therapy
Art therapy involves the therapeutic use of art making in combination with a safe and warm relationship. Art therapy helps people with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, body image dissatisfaction, and life transitions. It allows individuals to develop coping skills, self-awareness, emotional resilience, and social skills. All ages can participate in art therapy, and no artistic experience is needed.
