HELPING people in ohio FIND FREEDOM FROM Anxiety & OCD.
In-person sessions in Columbus or virtual across Ohio.
sound familiar?
Do you wish that you could just feel NORMAL for once and like everyone else without your mind being ruled by fear?
Do your thoughts demand that you know the answer with 100% certainty RIGHT NOW?
Do you have to hide certain behaviors while out in public and it has become embarrassing and exhausting?
Are there things you have to do exactly right before leaving the house?
If you are ready STOP scary thoughts in their tracks, get tools to redirect the noise & live according to your real values I can help.
Together, we can UNLOCK the cheat codes for OCD & teach you how to be on top of it.
With me, you will find a therapist who is an expert in OCD & knows that just talk therapy doesn’t cut it. Sometimes it can actually make the OCD spiral worse.
That’s why I use gold-standard Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), blended with motivation, real-life tools, and compassionate guidance so you can make meaningful progress instead of spinning your wheels in therapy.
Research shows that ERP actually calms the overactive parts of the brain involved in OCD, helping your nervous system learn that you are safe even when uncertainty is present.
When you work with me, you’ll have a clear roadmap forward for tackling OCD using evidence-based treatment that works.
It is time to book a free consult call.
What others Say About Working With Bethany.
Are you nervous you won’t find a therapist who gets it? Wondering if you can relax and be yourself while still being pushed to grow? I get it because I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to be stuck and alone in your head, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel accepted, seen, and supported while also being challenged to identify your dreams and move toward them.
I’m Bethany Retterer, (formerly Bethany Johnson) a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with over seven years of clinical experience. I have a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling and I specialize in OCD and anxiety-related concerns. I use gold standard Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD.
Outside of counseling, you’ll find me at a coffee shop, watching movies, documentaries & every reality tv show, playing piano, cooking, cuddling with my dogs Carl & Cali, or browsing a bookstore for (yet another) book to start reading. My clients get a real, human therapist who knows how to guide them toward a calmer, more peaceful life.

Payment Information
$150
I believe in transparency so my fee is posted here. What you see is what you get. It is often an investment in your health and wellbeing to participate in therapy and it is important to be informed. I am a private pay out of network (OON) therapist. My rate is $150 for 55 minutes of psychotherapy. This is billed to your card on file via automatic payment after each session.
I am out of network which means I choose not to be paneled with insurance companies. If you are looking for an OCD & anxiety therapist in Columbus Ohio and to use your insurances’ out of network (OON) Benefits:
I have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Use this tool to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services. Your insurance may reimburse 50-80% of your session cost. If you have an out of network deductible you will need to meet that first before reimbursement. Average reimbursement is around 62%.
Not all insurances have OON benefits but many do so please put in your information to check! You may have to meet an OON deductible first. Medicaid and traditional Medicare plans do not have out-of-network benefits and are not eligible for reimbursement through Mentaya.
