As a native Cincinnatian, proud graduate of the University of Cincinnati and an illustrious member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., I embody the values of service.
My journey in the field began with impactful experiences at St. Joseph Orphanage-Altercrest. This foundational training instilled the importance of addressing complex issues with empathy, understanding, and a holistic approach.
I'm experienced in diverse settings, and offer effective support and counseling.
Hi! I am Kathleen, a licensed professional clinical counselor. I am a queer therapist who specializes in working with LGBTQ+ clients. I also have expertise working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
I’ve been a social worker for 4 years and have extensive experience assisting teens, adults, and families. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy and will closely work with you to attain your goals. I will offer a non judgmental and open space with an empathetic listening ear. I also enjoy being outdoors, I think fresh air can change a lot!
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.
I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.
I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.
I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with. I studied my undergrad at Cleveland State University and got my masters at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!
With more than 30 years of clinical experience, I provide therapy grounded in empathy, insight, and professionalism. I am known for being an engaged listener and for creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported without judgment. I'm a graduate of the University of Cincinnati Masters Clinical Social Work School, the University of Cincinnati's Medical School Family Therapy Institute, EMDR Consulting Licensure. My background includes extensive meditation experience and enables me to meet clients with flexibility, depth, and understanding.
An experienced professional, I offer extensive experience in psychotherapy in a variety of areas. I am especially conversant in working with adolescents and seniors as well as adults.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support is a courageous step. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges openly. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or other personal concerns, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood
Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, OH starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges — or a space to work through a life transition. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPCC, LISW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your particular needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and approach before you book.
With many therapists practicing in the Lakewood and greater Cleveland area, narrowing your options can take time. Think about what matters most to you beyond credentials — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in couples or family therapy, or has availability that fits your schedule. A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider feels like the right fit.
Therapy in Lakewood can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit.
