Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Canton, OH

I earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati after working in Children's Protective Services and Juvenile Court facilities. I have years of experience helping children, youth and families connect and function in more healthy ways. I see adults and couples as well, and strive to facilitate healing of hearts and marriages.

I have personal and professional experience in foster parenting and adoption. One of my special areas of interest is the effects of nutrition and exercise on mental health. I have utilized Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for twenty years as a specialty.

Hi there, I'm Kora! As a licensed therapist with over 7 years of experience, I truly believe that prioritizing your mental health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. With a Master's in Clinical Social Work and a background in diverse clinical settings, I now focus on walking alongside those navigating heavy life transitions. From the complexities of motherhood and career shifts to the unique experiences of children of immigrant parents. My goal is to provide a soft place for you to land while you navigate change, grief, or personal growth. I'm so glad you're here, and I look forward to supporting you on this journey.

I have over thirty years of experience in dealing with a broad range of human challenges. I have an extensive range of training and tools to draw from. I specialize in working with anxiety, post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, and couple issues.

My name is Queen Watson (yes that's my real name) and I’m a Cincinnati, OH native. I attended The Ohio State University for my bachelor's degree in psychology and obtained my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. As a Black therapist, I take pride in providing a safe space for individuals to address the impact of a system that villainizes those experiencing side effects of the human condition and directly challenge the stereotype of what therapists should look or act like. My ideal clients are adults experiencing or seeking: identify affirming care (i.e., LGBT+, BIPOC), ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, seeking stronger intra- and interpersonal relationships, intense anger, and mood disorders.

I am warm, welcoming, and a problem solver who is committed to empowering others. I can assist you in processing and gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am a trained listener who will focus on helping you feel comfortable while building a therapeutic rapport.

I graduated from the University of Akron with my masters in Social Work. I am a licensed social worker in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. I have worked in public schools, community agencies, psychiatric hospitals, healthcare, and outpatient therapy.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to mental health care. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, including pediatrics, family medicine, cardiology, correctional health, emergency medicine, and education.

I believe that meaningful care starts with truly meeting patients where they are. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. Together, we work toward practical, personalized solutions that support your mental and emotional well-being.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, visiting amusement parks, going on cruises, or spending quiet time at home with my husband and our three dogs.
