If traditional therapy has felt out of touch or incomplete, you’re not alone. A Carob Dream is here to change that. Founded by licensed clinical counselor Asya Gough, this upcoming holistic wellness practice is centered on deep healing—emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical.
Based in Akron, Ohio, and soon expanding to New Orleans, A Carob Dream offers personalized services for people often overlooked by conventional systems—particularly those in marginalized and underserved communities. Asya’s mission is clear: to provide genuine care and transformative healing, not just coping strategies.
After facing depression, autoimmune illness, and financial challenges, Asya realized healing had to go deeper. Her own spiritual awakening inspired her to help others find the same freedom from past trauma and spiritual disconnect. Born and raised in Akron, and soon moving to the culturally rich community of New Orleans, Asya’s roots and future both influence her mission.
Asya’s drive comes not just from clinical experience, but from a deeply personal calling. As a woman of color who’s lived through hardship and healing, she’s committed to serving others who may feel overlooked by traditional care models. She’s also a passionate film critic, food lover, and community builder who believes in living fully—surrounded by pets, family, and joy. Her journey has been anything but conventional, and she embraces that fully, using it to connect with clients on a real human level.
Her services include:
Every offering is crafted to help clients reconnect with their true selves and move forward with intention.
What sets A Carob Dream apart? The care is real. Clients are treated like people—not cases. From individual sessions to group workshops, Asya’s approach is community-centered, culturally grounded, and deeply human.
A Carob Dream also engages the community through fundraisers like line dancing events for the Scleroderma Foundation, blending healing and joy. It’s this kind of innovative outreach that makes the brand feel like more than a service—it feels like family.
As she says: “When the sun shines on you, you’d be a fool to turn away.” A Carob Dream is about helping you recognize that light, and step into it.
