Phil McClelland
Counselor/Therapist, MDIV, MA, LPCC-S, NCC, ACS
If you’re in a relationship where you feel controlled, afraid, or constantly on edge, you’re not alone.
Abuse isn’t always physical. It can include emotional pressure, manipulation, isolation, or feeling like you have to walk on eggshells to keep the peace.
You might feel confused, stuck, or unsure of what’s normal anymore.
Therapy offers a place to sort through what’s happening at your pace, without judgment or pressure to make decisions before you’re ready.
My approach is steady and supportive. We focus on helping you regain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and make choices that increase your safety and stability.
This is not about forcing you to leave or telling you what to do. It’s about helping you see clearly and take your next step with support.

Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy is an essential form of support for victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence, allowing them to recover from the trauma and reestablish control of their lives. Domestic abuse and violence can cause victims severe emotional, psychological, and physical damage, and therapy provides a secure and compassionate environment to address the effects of these experiences and work toward healing and recovery.
It is essential to remember that therapy for survivors of domestic violence is a personal and delicate process. Therapists trained in trauma-informed care and with experience working with survivors of domestic violence can offer the most effective and compassionate support.
If you or someone you know is a survivor of domestic abuse or domestic violence, it is recommended that you seek help from a qualified therapist or counselor with experience working with this population to begin the process of healing and reclaiming control of your life. Additionally, contacting local domestic violence resources and support services can provide valuable assistance and planning for safety.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Healing from domestic violence is not about forgetting the past — it’s about reclaiming your power, your peace, and your purpose. You are not defined by what was done to you but by the strength it takes to rise again. Through truth, forgiveness, and love, you can rebuild your confidence and rediscover your worth. God has not abandoned you — He is rewriting your story with grace and redemption. Freedom begins the moment you believe you are worthy of it. You are not a victim; you are a survivor becoming victorious. Your healing begins today.

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.
