Meet Akira Drummonds, B.A., M.A., L.P.C.C.-S.
Founder & CEO of Premier Transformation Counseling and Consulting Services, LLC
Welcome to Premier Transformation, where healing, growth, and transformation take center stage. I’m Akira Drummonds, but you can call me AK. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory designation (L.P.C.C.-S.), I am deeply committed to guiding individuals and families toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. Whether you’re managing daily stressors, navigating life’s challenges, or striving for personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
About Me
I began my journey into the field of mental health with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, graduating with honors. Fueled by a passion for helping others, I pursued a Master’s in Community Counseling at Xavier University, where I honed my skills in addressing diverse mental health needs. Beyond academic training, I am a certified yoga teacher through a 300-hour program, allowing me to incorporate mindfulness and holistic approaches into therapy.

Education & Experience
With an extensive history in community mental health, I’ve worked with a wide range of populations:
-
Adolescents and teens
-
Adults and geriatric clients
-
Families, couples, and groups
-
Individuals managing addiction and recovery
Throughout my career, I’ve helped clients overcome challenges such as low self-esteem, ADHD, anger management, and substance abuse. My specialty lies in treating anxiety and depression, utilizing approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma and emotional barriers effectively.
In every session, I bring a blend of evidence-based practices, empathy, and tailored care to meet your unique needs.
My Philosophy
At Premier Transformation, I believe that healing and growth are within everyone’s reach. My philosophy centers on creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without fear. I aim to empower you with tools and strategies to overcome obstacles, rediscover your strengths, and achieve lasting transformation.
I approach counseling with:
-
Compassion: Meeting you where you are with understanding and care.
-
Collaboration: Working together to set goals and create meaningful change.
-
Holistic Practices: Integrating mindfulness, yoga, and other methods for whole-person wellness.
I also recognize the power of connection and comfort. That’s why I’m proud to introduce Beau Bentley (Mr. Bentles), my certified therapy dog and emotional support animal. Upon request, Beau can join your sessions, offering a calming presence and unconditional support as part of your therapeutic journey.​​​​
