Sexual Abuse
Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
If you're an adult with a history of sexual abuse, you may notice its effects in ways that reach far beyond the abuse itself — in how you came to see yourself, the choices you make, the way you connect with others, or a sense of being stuck that's hard to put into words. Experiences like these, especially in childhood, can shape development in lasting ways, touching how you relate to yourself and to others long afterward.
This is deep and delicate work, and it deserves a counselor who moves gently and follows where you lead. In individual therapy, you decide what feels right to explore, and when. Together, we work toward understanding and healing, so that more of your life can be shaped by who you are and what you want — and less by what happened to you.

Sexual Abuse
Shauntae Walker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, impacting trust, relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being. You don't have to carry that burden alone. I provide a safe, compassionate space where survivors can process their experiences at their own pace, reclaim their voice, and move toward healing with dignity, empowerment, and hope.

Sexual Abuse
Natasha Lacey
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
Experiences of sexual abuse can affect safety, trust, relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and connection with your own body. Healing does not require you to move faster than you are ready to move. I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes choice, safety, stabilization, and control while helping clients process experiences and reduce the ways trauma continues to affect their present lives.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sexual abuse can profoundly affect the relationship to the body, boundaries, trust, and desire. My work integrates psychoanalytic and somatic approaches to support gentle, respectful integration of traumatic experience. Together, we work toward restoring a sense of safety, agency, and embodied self-connection.
7 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH (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 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.
