Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
LGBTQ+ couples face all the usual relationship challenges, plus the added stress of being misunderstood, judged, or navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind. I provide a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain who you are before we get to the work of healing, growing, or reconnecting. Your relationship deserves support that sees and respects your whole story.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
I am a proud member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients, particularly gay, bisexual, and/or queer men. My specialities include helping individuals overcome internalized homophobia or transphobia and working with clients to cope with coming out issues or experiences of prejudice or discrimination. In addition to adult individual therapy, I provide evaluations and referral letters for gender-affirming care.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
For many queer and trans people, the project of selfhood involves a double labor: becoming who you are while contending with a world that has opinions about whether that person should exist. The effects are not always dramatic. Sometimes they are quiet — a lifelong habit of self-editing, a flinch so practiced it no longer registers as a flinch. Therapy is a place where the full weight of that experience can be acknowledged, and where the self that survived it can begin to discover what it wants when it is no longer organizing itself around someone else's discomfort.

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.
