Real Stories
What Our Columbus
Therapy Clients Say
Real people, real results. These are the stories that remind us why we do what we do.
"I've had such a great experience with Cook Counseling and Consulting. The team is compassionate, professional, and truly cares about their clients. From the first interaction, I felt heard and supported. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalized care."
"I have been seeing Kelly Spears for about a year now and she has been wonderful. She has helped me out a lot and is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling. I would highly recommend Cook Counseling and Kelly as a therapist. Thanks for all that you do!"
"Cook is a great place with amazing staff. Shelby has been a joy to work with and works hard to ensure every therapist here is in a place to give clients the support and guidance that they need. I highly recommend Cook Counseling!"
Our Story
Founded on the Belief That
Everyone Deserves to Heal
Cook Counseling & Consulting was founded in 2022 by Shelby Cook, LISW-S, LCSW, with a clear mission: to create a safe, inclusive space where every client — no matter their background, identity, or struggle — could find their path to mental wellness.
"We help people create a life worth celebrating. We help people break the cycle. Sometimes all someone needs is someone to truly listen."
What started as a vision has grown into a team of over 40 licensed professionals across 6 Ohio locations, all united by a shared commitment to compassionate, trauma-informed care. Recognized with the Platinum Bell Seal Award from Mental Health America and the Consumer Choice Award 2026, Cook Counseling is one of Ohio's most trusted practices.
