Family therapy and counseling in Ohio

You may be successful in many areas of your life and still feel stuck in your relationships. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments, struggle to communicate, or feel increasingly disconnected. Maybe parenting has become more difficult than you expected, or a major life transition has changed the way you relate to the people you love. I work with adults, couples, and parents who are ready to understand the patterns that keep them stuck and create meaningful change. Together, we look beneath the immediate problem to understand what is happening and develop practical ways to respond differently.

As a doctoral-level Clinical Psychologist, I bring extensive clinical, teaching, and research experience to our work. I have trained thousands of therapists, authored more than 100 research articles, and written eight books. Most importantly, I bring that experience into therapy in a way that is personal and relevant to you, tailoring my work to your goals, strengths, and circumstances.

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.

Hi, I’m Caitlin! I offer flexible scheduling (evenings & weekends) and affordable Christian virtual counseling for children-adults. I’m also working toward EMDR certification. I’m glad you’re here! Reaching out for support takes courage, and you’ve already taken an important first step.

I am a dual-credentialed Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and an Independent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) for over 8 years. I have experience working with children and teens (along with supporting parents), young adults, people with disabilities, and women.

I believe in caring for the whole person through mind, body, and spirit. I also offer Christian counseling upon request, allowing faith and the Holy Spirit to guide our time together.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Warmly, Caitlin :)

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.

Hello, my name is Mary! I am a licensed therapist that specializes in trauma, grief and loss. I am EMDR trained; and offer EMDR sessions as well as EMDR intensive where we design an individualized program to fit your specific needs. I also offer KAP and have seen amazing results! I have been working with clients and families for over 25 years and feel I bring a seasoned, open outlook into the therapeutic setting. One of my all-time favorites is “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ― Maya Angelou. Remember this as you walk thru your journey!

Taylor Clay, M.A., LPCC is a licensed professional clinical counselor. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from St. Andrews University and completed her master's degree in mental health counseling from Walsh University. Taylor has been working in various settings in Stark County since 2015. Taylor has experience within hospital emergency rooms, school-based, community crisis, outpatient, and telehealth. Taylor has worked with a wide range of clients ages 5-75. Taylor’s early years in the field were focused on child and adolescents, primarily those in foster care. For the past several years, Taylor has moved to a focus of young adults, adults, and geriatric populations. Taylor is a proud ally to the LGTBQIA+ community.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, best friend, dogs, and family. Taylor is very passionate about helping animals in the community and often finds herself looking for lost dogs on the weekends. She also enjoys being outside, especially in warm weather.

My approach to therapy is warm, culturally attuned, and practical. I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported while also gaining tools they can use in their daily lives.

As a multilingual therapist offering services in English, Farsi, and Turkish, I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. I understand the complexities of navigating identity, family expectations, and cross-cultural experiences, and I strive to create a space where all parts of your story are respected.

I value collaboration and tailor each session to meet your individual needs. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we will move at a pace that feels right for you while still maintaining forward progress.

My goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you build the skills and confidence to manage challenges independently and create lasting change.
