Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
I have enjoyed working as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in my solo private practice where you can have the time and space you need in a quiet and confidential setting. I am happy to help with the concerns that you have and have experience in clinical work and other additional services you may need such as an ESA letter or a disability claim. My approach is steady and collaborative and feel it is important to establish a genuine therapeutic relationship that can see you through. If you are interested in Hypnosis, it is available as a private pay option.

Shauntae Walker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S
My foremost goal is for each counseling session with me to feel safe, organic, empathetic and encouraging. My intention is for each person I meet to feel comfortable being their truest selves and to also walk side by side with them as they bravely face challenges in life, learn new skills, and re-discover the courage and inner strength that we all possess.

Pharion Counseling, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
I am a 24-year educator and football coach who has brought all of those skills to counseling in order to help people. It is my life's mission to help those who are overwhelmed with life and cannot cope with the stress. I want to help those who live and work hard and sometimes (a lot of the time) take work home with them (you know who you are). I can bring you to better balance, and better life satisfaction.

Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
