Although you could navigate this terrain all by yourself, having someone alongside could make your experience much more fruitful. Consider getting in touch with a Columbus-area mental health professional who can walk with you through this process. Your path to a “New World” is just a phone call away.

Rene' Domask
ABOUT ME My name is Rene’ Beth Domask, and I am a licensed Mental Health Clinician in Wisconsin. I use a collaborative approach with my clients, as I consider them to be the master of their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The most important aspect of my work with you will be to build a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship in which we can work through whatever difficulties you may be facing - together. I believe in setting collaborative goals with my clients to help them with their areas of need, while also empowering them to use their strengths to overcome difficulties. I have a passion for helping people navigate toward healing and hope for the future. I respect your journey and believe that empathy and respect are important in building a healthy therapeutic relationship. I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor your treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience. The modalities that I utilize are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My therapeutic approach is integrative and based on my client's specific needs. Everyone presents differently, so my approach will be tailored to you and your goals. When selecting a treatment approach, I will consider your social history, presenting concerns, and goals for treatment. I believe providing my clients with an individualized approach to treatment is the most effective way to help them be successful. My experience is varied within a wide array of settings, as I have provided individual and group therapy in community mental health agencies, Hospitals and County Jails throughout the state of Wisconsin. I believe that individuals are influenced by close relationships, communities, environment, and personal experiences. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship with compassion and respect. My hope is that you will take the next steps so that we can begin the process of bringing about healing, and change to your situation. As your therapist, I will work with you in processing difficult feelings and emotions, and setting goals that are important to you, and help guide you as you work through them. If you're ready, I'm here to support you. I look forward to working with you! Rene’ Beth Domask, MA, LPC

Cory Kitt
I am a licensed professional counselor who has been licensed in the state of Wisconsin for the past 11 years working as a clinical case manager, pyschotherapist, and clinical supervisor. I have worked with people with a wide range of experiences including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, short term and long term stress, and sexual acting out concerns. I have also supported people who have experienced life's traumas in its many forms. My counseling style is warm, humorous, and collaborative. I believe in treating people with respect, empathy, autonomy, and compassion. Labels mean less to me than one's view of how their mental health interacts with their overall quality of life. My approach combines person-centered, strengths-based perspectives that incorporate skill building tool sets from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing techniques to meet an individual where they are at in regard to their mental health journey. We will work together to create a plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and peaceful life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you. Thanks for choosing BetterHelp!

Lynet Uttal
SCHEDULING: Try to schedule in my open slots but I try to schedule people based on your best times and dates, so when we are matching we will find your best time. I am not available before 10 am or after 6 pm but I am available on some Saturdays. My name is Lynet Uttal, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. When working together, my hope is that you will become more comfortable with yourself. Maybe you want to talk about a problem you are having right now (like a relationship that is making you feel bad) or you want to talk about something from your past that keeps hurting you. We can also work on a decision you have to make or motivation to get moving on a project (like writing a book or losing weight/practicing a healthier lifestyle). Some people are looking for purpose or meaning in life--we can also work on that. As a social worker, I also pay attention to the conditions of your life: Do you have enough money? Do you like where you live? Are you in the right job? In the right relationship? Do you need to change your career? Move to a different part of the country? Do you want help identifying and applying for support services? Are you struggling with cultural differences with the people in your life? Are you caring for an aging parent? In addition to teaching you some techniques (like how to manage anxiety or depression), I will also work with you to understand the cause of the discomfort and ways to understand it. My style of doing therapy is to carefully listen to you and to ask questions so that both you and I can develop a deep understanding of what is bothering you and how you want to improve/change your life. If you want, I can also provide some coaching for how you might change the way you do things or interact with people so that you are more comfortable with yourself and your lifestyle. We will do a lot of talking and find answers that work for you. I have experience helping people with changing jobs, getting fired, deciding to leave relationships, how to start relationships in a healthy way, parent-adult children relationships, learning how to present yourself calmly even when inside you feel like a tornado. I also like to facilitate thinking about regrets to turn them into stories you can live with instead of continue to be tortured by the ones you have. I have experience working with people with many different types of concerns and levels of experience with therapy. I enjoy helping people figure out what is going on in their lives and finding more peace with themselves. My work with each person is different because I tailor how we work to who you are and what you are grappling with. I do interpreter-mediated therapy which means we use an interpreter because I speak English and the client doesn't. I have worked with Latine people, Muslims, people from India, Hmong, and lots of people who are parents but they are US born children of immigrants.. I am myself the daughter of a Japanese immigrant and I am really interested in the conflicts that happen beecause people live between two cultures. I look forward to working with you!
