In Person Therapists in Northwest Akron, Akron, OH

I work with you to build a solid sense of who you are and investigate ways you feel empowered in your body. We also work on discovering what radical self care and coping skills look like for you and ultimately determine how you can have a life that is centered around what you truly value.
