Veronica Bojerski
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC-S and Certified Hypnotherapist, CHt
I have extensive experience...over 20 years working with children and adolescents. I find that my office, casual demeanor and use of art/play/yoga/writing/guided imagery/talk with this population has been received well. My office has several providers (Virginia Rivera LISW, Sara Pavel LPCC, Tracy Broa LPCC-S) who are now accepting new child/adolescent clients and I will offer case consultations if desired.

Natasha Lacey
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
Children and teens do not always have the words to explain what they are experiencing. Anxiety, irritability, withdrawal, emotional outbursts, school difficulties, grief, family changes, peer concerns, or behavioral changes may signal that they are struggling. I create an age-appropriate and supportive environment where young people can express themselves, build coping and emotional regulation skills, and feel understood while involving caregivers when therapeutically appropriate.

18 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH (Online Only)
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.
