When your inner world feels complex & hard to explain

It might feel like these old patterns are impacting your relationships or leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, mood shifts, or social isolation.

Together in therapy, we slow down, explore the deeper layers of your experience, and make space for the parts of your inner world that feel chaotic, intense, or unfamiliar. Over time, we work toward building a better understanding of your life in a way that feels more coherent, steady, and aligned with who you want to be.
Hi, i’m Dr. jaclyn hillis-mascia.
I believe you can find relief from the pain & reclaim your life.
Many people come to therapy with longstanding relationship difficulties, perceptual shifts, identity confusion, or moments in their life story that are unsettling to them. Others come with new or unusual inner experiences that feel different and out of place.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I am an expert in helping you think more in-depth about your life story. My approach is relational, steady, and rooted in science and recovery-oriented care. I provide individual therapy services for adults across Ohio, both securely online and at my office in the Grandview area in Columbus. I also offer virtual appointments across all 34 participating PSYPACT states.
