Jadyn McQueen

Therapist

Virtual • Cincinnati, OH


As a dedicated psychotherapist and life coach, I bring both optimism and expertise to my work. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, and provide compassionate care across all age groups, including children (6+), adolescents, adults, and older adults. As a mindfulness-based life coach, I help clients set meaningful goals, build self- awareness, and sustain accountability through personalized, goal-oriented sessions.

I am the owner of Mindful Metanoia LLC, a space that offers mental health education, meditation, and mindfulness training.

In addition to individual counseling, I offer support to families and couples. While I hold a particular passion for serving Black and Brown communities, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients from all backgrounds.

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in gardening, dancing, spending time with loved ones, savoring rainstorms, and exploring art in all its forms.
