BFRB
Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) because I believe in treating the person, not just the symptom. These behaviors—like trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation (skin picking)—are often shrouded in shame and misunderstood as "nervous habits," when they are actually complex, brain-based conditions.

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.
