At Counseling Now, our mission is simple: to give every adult in Youngstown easy and affordable access to a wide range of mental health counseling, psychiatric care and targeted case management services.
When you sign up with Counseling Now, you get instant access to one of Ohio’s largest networks of mental health professionals, including counselors, psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, and more.
Above all, you’re more than a patient—you’re our priority here at Counseling Now.
As your advocates, we work with you to create a plan of care that will not only meet all of your needs, but will be something you feel comfortable with.
We believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental healthcare, and we promise that we’ll always honor that principle in how we serve our clients in Youngstown.
Let’s get started.
You deserve to live a safe, happy, and healthy life.
But for many children and adults in Ohio, including Youngstown, the journey to hope and healing is often blocked by anxiety, depression, family and marital problems, psychiatric disorders, and lack of access to community resources.
According to America’s Mental Health Rankings: “Nearly 25% of Ohio adults are experiencing mental health issues, according to nonprofit Mental Health America (MHA). Just three states reported higher figures in 2019.
Ohio slid from 11th to 25th in the group’s annual mental health rankings, meaning the situation dramatically worsened year-over-year.” We strive to help change that here at Counseling Now. We hope that through our online counseling and psychiatry services in Youngstown, we can help every child and adult succeed in every aspect of their lives.
Counseling Now believes in a patient-first approach to mental healthcare, psychiatry, and case management in Youngstown.
That’s why every child and adult who comes to us is treated with the same level of care and respect.
We don’t think of our patients as numbers on a spreadsheet or even as cases that need solving—we think of them as individuals, with unique needs and stories.
And because we understand this, expect to receive an individualized treatment plan that considers your culture, needs, personal history, and specific situation.
Finally, trust us to serve you with respect and dignity no matter your age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, mental health issue, or where you live in Ohio.
We aren’t just a counseling service—we’re a community of people who care about you and want to see you succeed.
We understand that financial concerns can be a huge barrier to seeking help.
For many families and parents in Ohio, that can mean giving up their children to the state in order to get them the mental health care they cannot afford.
According to the MHA, 27.7% of Ohio adults who needed mental health care did not get it due to cost.
That’s why we accept a wide range of insurance plans so that everyone in Youngstown can have easy access to timely and affordable care.
Specifically, we accept Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, and all major commercial insurance plans for all of our online counseling and psychiatry services in Youngstown.
If you don’t have any insurance coverage or you’re covered by an out-of-network plan, don’t worry. We also offer self-pay options and flexible payment plans to all of our patients.
The MHA has presented worrying findings about mental health access in Ohio. In their report, they said that: “Leading up to the pandemic, large shares of adults with mental illness did not receive care.
In Ohio, 63.4% (567,000) of adults with mild mental illness, 50.7% (335,000) of adults with moderate mental illness, and 30.5% (186,000) of adults with serious mental illness in the past year did not receive mental health treatment. In 2018-2019, 7.5% (664,000) of adults in Ohio reported an unmet need for mental health treatment in the past year, which was higher than the U.S. share of 6.2% (15.4 million).”
Fortunately, modern technology has broken down barriers to mental health care access. We’ve taken full advantage of this here at Counseling Now. We’ve designed all of our online counseling and psychiatric services throughout Youngstown to be accessible through any device with connection to the internet, such as a phone, desktop computer, laptop, or tablet. No need to miss work or school. Never worry about securing transportation, childcare, or forcing yourself to interact with strangers while waiting for your session. Attend your therapy session at your own time, in any place you feel safe and comfortable. Finally, you don’t have to wait weeks or months to receive care either– most of our clients are able to book an appointment and see a mental health provider within the same week.

Counseling Now boasts an excellent network of mental healthcare professionals. We are constantly expanding our connections to better serve the Columbus community.
This is one of our top priorities, given that Ohio has such a dire need for more mental health professionals:
“Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designations are used to identify areas that are experiencing a shortage of health professionals. Mental health HPSA designations are primarily based on the number of psychiatrists relative to the population.
The percent of need for mental health professionals met in Ohio is only 38.3%.”
Every provider in the Counseling Now network is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Columbus. To provide the best care possible, all have met—and continue to exceed—strict qualification, certification, and testing standards.
