My communication style

My communication tone or approach tends to be direct but laid back. We are in session to work together not have me tell you what to do or where you need to go

I have been counseling since graduating from CALU in 2014. My clients have been in varied settings including groups, individual and couple. I use a trauma-informed approach and utilize evidence based practice.

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.
