Careers

Are you passionate about marriage?

Married Life Counseling is a team of licensed professional counselors and therapists located in Akron, OH. We provide research-driven interventions, healing therapy, practical support, and real hope for couples who desire a thriving, intimate, best-friendship with each other.  Our primary approach centers around Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). We are eager to invite new clinicians to join our practice who either have experience with this therapeutic modality or are enthusiastic about furthering their knowledge in this area.

This is a full-time counseling position, providing therapeutic services as well as practical support and interventions to help individuals and couples improve their relationship. The day-to-day tasks include conducting counseling sessions, developing treatment plans, and providing guidance and support to couples. Our charming offices are located in West Akron, with parks and coffee shops nearby. This position is hybrid, enabling clinicians with a home office to work both in West Akron and from home.

What our staff says

“Married Life Counseling is a great place to work. The environment is welcoming and cozy, and the staff is very supportive. The spirit of camaraderie runs high. I feel lucky to be part of such a collaborative team.”

- Chris Cantergiani, MS, MFT

Team Member 2023 - 2026

“After 4 years of working alongside Christie to help bring Married Life to the forefront, I’ve learned the true value of perseverance. Christie’s unwavering dedication to helping couples heal and reconnect is clear, and she has instilled that same passion in our entire counseling team. Our weekly meetings and one-on-one staff sessions are always focused on our clients’ well-being. Married Life is a special place to work, where every team member plays a vital role in shaping our supportive and caring culture.”

-Jamie Dunlap

First Impressions Coordinator

“When I began this journey, I expected to learn counseling skills, gain experience, and grow professionally. What I didn’t expect was to find a team of people who would challenge me, support me, encourage me, and help shape the counselor I am becoming. Every member of the MLC team brought something unique to the table. Their knowledge, compassion, professionalism, and willingness to teach created an environment where growth felt natural. No question was ever too small, no challenge felt insurmountable, and no success went unnoticed. I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship, guidance, and friendship I have experienced here.”

-Holly Wood-Prince, LPC
