I’m Kendra Compton, a dedicated social worker with over 30 years of experience empowering individuals and families to thrive. My journey began with a heartfelt desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children and adults alike. Over the decades, I’ve honed my skills as a relationship-oriented therapist who truly believes in the healing power of genuine human connection. I blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, compassionate style. My approach is always:
- Person-Centered – I meet each client where they are, honoring their unique strengths and experiences.
- Relationship-Focused – I believe trust and rapport lay the groundwork for meaningful change.
- Strengths-Based – I highlight what’s working well and build upon those successes.
Helping others bring me endless inspiration. Their courage, curiosity, and capacity for joy remind me daily why I chose this path. I grew up in a family of athletes and am an avid sports fan—whether participating, cheering from the sidelines (mostly my son) or watching a game on TV, I see sports as a powerful metaphor for teamwork, perseverance and personal growth. These values naturally weave into my therapeutic style, encouraging clients to set goals, lean on their support systems, and celebrate every milestone.
If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, cares wholeheartedly, and partners with you every step of the way, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to help you and your family write the next chapter of your story—one defined by resilience, hope, and stronger connections.
Feel free to reach out, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth together.
I am an anti-racist and LGBTQ-Affirming trauma therapist who has worked with veterans, military personnel, and civilians for 20+ years. I am honored to work with clients on their self-defined goals to achieve more peaceful and satisfying lives, especially as related to healing mental injuries from discrimination and abuse.
My areas of expertise include workplace trauma, racial trauma, institutional betrayal, suicide prevention, family scapegoat abuse, workplace mobbing, and self-acceptance in a hostile world.
As a Queer, Xicana of Mexican, Indigenous, Irish, and Czech ancestry who was raised by a gay parent, I know from lived experience, the importance of culturally-responsive care that recognizes the harm of systemic and interpersonal oppression and stigma. I delight in working with people from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences including neurodiversity, various religious and spiritual communities, and people living with visible and invisible disabilities.
As a care provider for a person living with long COVID, I understand the challenges and importance of COVID-cautious lifestyles for people who have compromised immune systems or who want to avoid long COVID.
With a BA from the University of California, Santa Cruz, an MSW from Washington University in St. Louis, and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, my practice is rooted in research, celebration of clients' cultural traditions, and awareness that mistreatment, disadvantage, and cruelty cause people to suffer.
I actively work to identify and eradicate my own biases through anti-racist somatic practice and train other clinicians in decolonizing mental health care, psychological safety, and anti-racist suicide prevention.
I use evidence-based practices of Written Exposure Therapy, Motivational Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy.

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 a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida and Ohio with 14 years of direct counseling experience. Supporting and guiding clients through difficult traumas and life's challenges in a safe and nonjudgmental environment is what I strive for.
My goal is to assist children, adolescents, and adults to reach their highest potential and to help couples and families live more harmonious and joyful lives together.
My passion is to support, uplift and encourage those in my community. Let's work together to start living a better-quality life one session at a time.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cleveland, OH
Finding couples therapists in Cleveland starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.
Cleveland offers a range of local options for couples therapy, from in-person offices near downtown and surrounding neighborhoods to virtual sessions that may fit more easily into two schedules. Since both partners need the same appointment time, it helps to filter by availability, session format, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists also offer a brief consultation, which can help you understand how they structure couples sessions before you book.
Couples therapy in Cleveland can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling in Cleveland, review detailed bios, check estimated costs before booking, and choose someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
