Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When trust has been broken, many wonder if their relationship can ever feel normal again. Whether you're navigating betrayal, past hurts, or years of disconnection, repair is possible, but it takes more than just saying “sorry.” I help couples rebuild the trust, so you can forgive, change the patterns that led to relationship injury, and feel relaxed with one another.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or forcing yourself to bypass your feelings. It’s about freeing yourself from the ongoing weight of what happened. This process can involve processing anger, grief, and complex emotions. Together, we move at a pace that honors your experience, helping you process what remains unresolved so that you can reclaim your energy, clarity, and sense of agency.

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.
