Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Columbus, 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.

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.

Are you someone who is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about navigating life’s challenges? Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, questions about gender/identity, or lingering effects of past experiences. Or maybe you feel disconnected from yourself or others, struggle with self-doubt, or find it difficult to manage your emotions in a healthy, balanced way. As a licensed Psychologist at Psychworks Clinic, I provide therapy under the supervision of Dr. Ritchie Hall, a licensed Clinical Psychologist, using interventions grounded in research and best practices.

I started my career as an art teacher, working at Saint Augustine Academy for seven years. I moved to London, England to work in an alternative school as an art therapist. I moved on to Dublin, Ireland where I worked with adults transitioning from homelessness to finding housing within Dublin City. I returned to Cleveland in 2009, first working with at-risk youth in the community, then moving to working in schools. I have also worked in residential treatment for youth with severe behavioral issues and in an alternative school as an art teacher. I worked with children, adolescents, and adults in private practice for 12 years, and have recently returned to community based work with families experiencing crisis and trauma.

I think it takes guts to be in psychotherapy. Life is hard and beautiful, & it is always possible to feel better and live a fuller life, I work collaboratively with clients to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, divorce and ADHD. I received my MSW in social work from Boston College and trained on child and family teams in the Boston area.
