Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
You may have taken some time before reaching out for professional help — perhaps because you're accustomed to handling things on your own, or for some other reason entirely. I'm glad you're here. So many people can benefit from support, wherever they are in life, and often those who have been through the most are the strongest, even when they can't yet see it in themselves. I can offer the kind of steady, attuned support that makes real change possible.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in trauma and PTSD, dissociative disorders, and the particular experiences of first responders and others whose lives have asked a great deal of them. My approach is steady, collaborative, and paced — I respect how protective the mind can be, and we move only as fast as feels safe to you. Together, we work toward relief, a greater sense of safety in your own mind and body, and a way forward that genuinely fits your life.
Reaching out can be the hardest part, and there's no pressure here — just a conversation about what you're looking for and whether we might be a good fit. I'd be glad to hear from you.

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.

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 System 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.
