Accepting CareSource Ohio Medicaid
Therapists Who Accept CareSource in Columbus, Ohio
CareSource covers a large share of Central Ohio families, and finding a behavioral health clinic that actually has openings is often harder than finding one that takes the card. Serving Youth Ohio does both: we accept CareSource Ohio Medicaid and we keep consultation slots open so children, adolescents, and adults can typically be scheduled within 48 hours of reaching out.
Our office sits on Industrial Mile Road on the west side of Columbus, minutes from I-70 and reachable by COTA. Telehealth is available anywhere in Ohio.
Rooted in Central Ohio
We are not a national network with a Columbus phone number. Our clinicians live and work here, know which Franklin County schools respond quickly to an IEP request and which need a nudge, and have working relationships with the county agencies and hospital systems families end up dealing with.
That matters most when something goes sideways — a hospital discharge, a school suspension, a placement change. Local familiarity is the difference between a referral packet sitting in a queue and a phone call to someone who picks up.

Frequently asked questions.
We aim to schedule consultations within 48 hours of your first contact. CareSource eligibility usually verifies instantly, so the appointment time is generally the only thing we are working around.
Yes. Our school-based clinicians work inside partner buildings around Columbus and neighboring districts, which spares families a mid-day pickup. Ask us whether your child's school is one we already serve.
CareSource offers non-emergency transportation benefits to many members. We are not the ones who arrange it, but we will tell you what to ask CareSource for, and we can write appointment confirmations if the benefit requires them.
