Fear is an emotion that you feel when you believe you’re in a dangerous situation. On the other hand, a phobia is characterized by an irrational fear of a person, activity, animal, or object. Many people experience fears and phobias related to flying on an airplane, heights, snakes, or spiders.

Whether you are located in downtown Columbus, Arena District, Clintonville, Frankliton, or even Glen Echo, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
