Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Breaking free from addiction can be genuinely freeing — and it's work worth doing with support. Whether you're fully committed to change or still wondering whether you need help, building your motivation is part of what we'll do together. Addiction is often a way of escaping other pain, so our work looks beyond the substance itself to what it's been protecting you from. Along the way, a relapse prevention plan becomes an important part of a lasting recovery.

Dayton is an Ohio city with a distinctive dual identity as both a struggling post-industrial community and a city defined by innovation—the birthplace of aviation and home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important USAF installations in the country—and this tension between decline and purpose shapes its mental health landscape in complex ways. The city was among the hardest hit by the opioid and fentanyl epidemic in the late 2010s, becoming a nationally recognized epicenter for drug-related deaths that prompted significant community response and transformed how local mental health services approach addiction and recovery. The University of Dayton and Wright State University bring student populations and academic resources, while Kettering Health and Premier Health provide behavioral health services to the broader community. Common therapy concerns include addiction and recovery, trauma (both opioid-related community grief and military trauma from the WPAFB population), anxiety, depression, and the economic stress of a city working to rebuild its identity after decades of industrial decline.
