Deidre A. Prewitt, MS, LPCC,
Owner of Reconnecting Columbus Specialties * Affair/Infidelity Recovery for couples and individuals * High-conflict couple relationship repair * Couple Therapy * Entrepreneurs navigating relationships * Empowerment and Self-Esteem * Certified in Telehealth (Online/Distance/Video Therapy) I am passionate about helping relationships in distress heal. I specialize in working with high-conflict couples and infidelity/affair recovery because I do not believe any relationship is a lost cause--if the couple is willing to work for it. Admittedly, providing marriage/relationship therapy is challenging, but oh, so rewarding! When I get up in the morning I am genuinely excited about the healing I may witness. I have been privileged to meet couples at the lowest points in their relationship and help them find the best in their relationship. I am inspired by the couples who may feel hopeless, yet with a little help, they are able to find the resolve to fight against the odds and rebuild their marriages. If you would like to learn more about me please take a look at my blog I opened Reconnecting Columbus, LLC because I realized the need for qualified, specialized marriage/relationship therapy in Columbus, Ohio.

pHILOSOPHY
Successful couples are committed to one another and the process; even if it takes some time to get to that commitment. Over the course of your relatively short time in counseling you may see small steps culminate into the big changes you may have needed for years. Many couples even forget how difficult it was for them when they walked through the door for the first time. Guiding hurting couples along the road of healing toward their relationship dreams is delicate work. As we move along the journey you may find the negative perspective of one another starts to soften and, over time the whole relationship starts to turn around. You may start to see one another as teammates instead of enemies.You may find that your conflict becomes opportunity to connect and get to know one another better. Training & Publications

Jill Niswonger, MA, MFT-Temp
Specialties * Intimate Relationship/Marriage Counseling * Premarital Counseling * Adolescent/Parent Conflicts * Attachment Injuries * Trauma Processing * Life Transitions * Anxiety * Depression * Grief and Loss I am passionate about helping partners to grow their relationships into what they have always wanted them to be. When we don’t feel valued in our relationships or cannot show up as ourselves, life can feel overwhelming and frustrating. The isolation, anxiety and complications that we are dealing with in 2020 bring up many difficult issues. Working together to make positive and lasting changes to our relationships can result in feelings of connection, intimacy and even increased functioning in our professional, academic and home lives. I value all types of relationships couples, parent and child, multiple relationships and generational relationships. I am sincerely moved when I see true connection and emotion emerge from what might feel like the ashes of a relationship or when families feel real reconnection. I believe in the true power of transformation and working in a safe and inclusive environment that will allow you to reclaim yourself. Together we can unravel issues and find the inner strengths that bring out the best in yourself and your relationships. * Awaiting Board Approval for MFT Licensure |
Philosophy
We all want to love our lives. We want to find our place in the world where we feel that we matter. You might have experienced trauma from your childhood or other relationships. Understanding what has happened in your life will allow you to name it and to tame it. Once you are able to tame the inner beast, your strengths will shine through and allow you to become your best self. And when we are our best selves, we also show up in our relationships, our parenting, our families, our work and our teams in the best way possible. Training & Publications
