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.
With over 11 years of experience as a therapist I am
passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families
navigate life’s challenges and find healing through evidence-
based and compassionate care. I hold a Master’s degree in
Social Work from Western Kentucky University and have
dedicated my career to supporting clients in achieving
emotional wellness and personal growth.
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.
I am a licensed Independent Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults, who experience anxiety, depression and Trauma. As well as working various populations; Veterans, adults with disabilities, substance use and recovery, and Women's Issues. I have experience and a strong passion for working in the field of gerontology. I have a strong focus on holistic healing, nature and how we can utilize all treatment modalities for a more balanced and healthier version of self. It can be overwhelming and scary navigating life at times; we can walk through that together.
Hi, my name is Dr. Deirdre Adduci and I believe that when two people work together, we can achieve great things and that together we can become a team that is able to assess and achieve your goals. Sometimes life can be difficult and it can be challenging, but I do believe that teamwork helps to improve our outlook and also to strategize ways to move forward. At times, people will tell me that they feel stuck, but often times this is merely because working alone we may not be able to see all of our options and possible solutions. I do believe that there are solutions that we haven’t even yet. We can do that together. I received my undergraduate education at The Ohio State University, where I studied criminology, my masters degree and counseling from Youngstown State University and my PhD from The University of Akron. I have my independent license in Counseling(LPCC-S),Marriage and Family Counseling (LIMFT), my independent license, my independent license in Chemical Dependency Counseling (LICDC-S) and a license and social work (LSW). I always tell my clients that I could not do what I do if I did not so passionately believe that counseling truly works. Your best thinking got you here looking at our profiles and I am really proud that you have step. I hope to work with you and become part of your team.
Do you desire healing from past events, struggling in life, overwhelmed and not feeling like you're reaching your potential? Every person is unique, and I honor that by emphasizing your God-given strengths and providing you with tools for success in life. You are the expert on your life, but sometimes having a supportive partner in exploring your life can help. If you're close to the Westerville, New Albany, and Lewis Center areas, I'd love to meet you in person. I can also see you online. This comes in handy with Ohio winter weather.
I believe all people are capable of change and growth, with the right support and encouragement. I'll be there to empower you to overcome growth barriers and be there to rejoice in your successes. I'm honored to be that collaborative partner. I invite you to reach out, take that first step towards wholeness in your life.
I have been a nurse since 2009 and bring years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to healing and long-term wellness. My personal experiences—including overcoming challenges, navigating trauma, raising a family, and being a grandparent—have shaped my empathy and ability to connect with patients from diverse backgrounds.
My goal is to empower patients with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to build resilience, improve their mental health, and enhance their overall quality of life while honoring each individual’s unique story. You are not placed in a box; individualized treatment plans
Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Cincinnati
Finding addiction therapists in Cincinnati starts with understanding the type of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse patterns, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Cincinnati offers a mix of local therapy options across neighborhoods, nearby suburbs, and virtual care. If local office access, commute time, or appointment timing affects your search, virtual appointments can help expand your options while still keeping care consistent. Recovery often includes changes over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with harm reduction or relapse prevention. Review therapist bios to understand their communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Cincinnati who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and let you check insurance coverage for your plan on Headway. You can compare profiles, check availability, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
