Allyssa Powers LPCC-S in Akron, Ohio

I’m Allyssa! Your anxiety therapist who’s in it (the drive, the accomplishments, the burnout) with you.

If you cross everything off of your to-do list each day, but feel like you are dying a little inside,” I see you! I work with anxious over thinkers and high-achievers who are finally ready to make a change.

We'll figure out exactly what you need so your brain stops drafting your eulogy every time you board a plane or eat a gas station sushi roll. I'll also help you tune out the noise from doomsday headlines, that influencer who lives by their Oura ring, and your relative who thinks cutting out seed oils will cure your anxiety.

Why I get you

I know what it’s like to be an anxious millennial because I am one.

In my early twenties, I had a really hard time transitioning to college. Really hard. My mental health was at an all time low. I had my first ever panic attack and I was unhappy, lonely and anxious more that I cared to admit. On the outside I was trying to keep it all together, get the good grades, show up for friends, keep checking things off my to do list, but inside I was crumbling.

I couldn't admit how bad I felt, because that felt like admitting I was failing.I know how hard it is to ask for help when you are used to being the one others look to. I took pride in doing well and I wanted to be the one others looked to, not looked down on. I took the long route and never asked for help or got any mental health counseling or medication when I needed it most.

I became a therapist to help you work smarter, not harder. You are already smart, let’s put that to use and build a life you don’t need a constant vacation from.

I'm a professionally educated, license-holding therapist, an anxious millennial, a recovering girl boss, and someone who believes in therapy so much she's in it herself.
