Highly Sensitive Person
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When you and your spouse walk into a room, do you each pick up on dramatically different amounts of information? If one of you is highly sensitive, it may feel like you're living in fundamentally different worlds. I help couples bridge that gap so these differences in perception become a strength, not something that makes you feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Dr. Michelle Solomon
Psychologist, PsyD
Together we explore how your sensitivity can leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood and drained, and also explore how sensitivity can be a strength. Together, we will build boundaries and strategies to help you thrive. My approach is validating, thoughtful, and tailored to support your emotional depth.

Highly Sensitive Person
Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe in turning "too sensitive" into a superpower. I help clients reframe their deep processing, intense empathy, and awareness of subtleties as profound strengths rather than flaws.
Many HSPs navigate a world that feels too loud, fast-paced, or overwhelming, often struggling with anxiety, burnout, or people-pleasing. My goal is to create a safe, validating, and slow-paced therapeutic space where clients can:
Set firm boundaries to protect their energy and nervous system.
Harness their empathy without absorbing the emotions of others.
Build self-compassion and embrace their unique temperament.
I specialize in HSPs because when given the right tools, they thrive, turning their sensitivity into a source of deep joy, creativity, and meaningful connection.

Christine Sparacino

If you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or an empath or healer/helper, you know how the world can be overwhelming and overstimulating. I help clients learn how to honor their empathy, protect their sensitivity, and turn it into a superpower.
23 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH Ohio (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 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.
