Psychodynamic
Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
You may have taken some time before reaching out for professional help — perhaps because you're accustomed to handling things on your own, or for some other reason entirely. I'm glad you're here. So many people can benefit from support, wherever they are in life, and often those who have been through the most are the strongest, even when they can't yet see it in themselves. I can offer the kind of steady, attuned support that makes real change possible.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in trauma and PTSD, dissociative disorders, and the particular experiences of first responders and others whose lives have asked a great deal of them. My approach is steady, collaborative, and paced — I respect how protective the mind can be, and we move only as fast as feels safe to you. Together, we work toward relief, a greater sense of safety in your own mind and body, and a way forward that genuinely fits your life.
Reaching out can be the hardest part, and there's no pressure here — just a conversation about what you're looking for and whether we might be a good fit. I'd be glad to hear from you.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
Autistic/ ADHD burnout starting to take its toll on your day-to-day life? You've tried so hard for so many years to fit in and to push yourself past your limit, but the mask has become too heavy. I offer neurodivergent affirming therapy that is geared to support you through learning radical self-acceptance and accommodation. Trying to be someone different has only led to pain and exhaustion. You can learn to honor your strengths and limitations and use them to help you reach your goals.

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.
