Rashell Gamble
I understand that "starting counseling" or finding a new therapist can seem overwhelming. That “exhausted-before-I-even-begin” feeling is why I believe so deeply in the efficacy of "telehealth" counseling. . With telehealth, you can tuck into whatever space allows you to feel most at ease.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families and military service members.
With your coffee or your dog nearby, you don't have to leave your world to talk about your world. My clients often tell me they come into therapy feeling nervous or overwhelmed and eventually find themselves feeling comfortable, understood, and even looking forward to our sessions. That matters to me.
First session
You don't need to know exactly what to say. You don't need to have your story perfectly organized. And you don't need to know exactly what you need before you reach out. We'll start where you are. I'll ask questions. I'll listen. I'll offer perspective and practical feedback. We'll look at what's happening, what's getting in the way, and what you want to be different.
Strengths
I offer a space where you can be completely yourself—without judgment, pressure, or having to pretend that everything is fine. I listen closely, but I’m not afraid to push back when I think it might help. I’ll offer a different perspective and help you notice patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy. When it fits the moment, I bring humor, honesty, and a little lightness into the room. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be.
Ideal clients
I help navigate the things that can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next. I have particular experience with grief and loss, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, boundaries, and self-esteem. I especially enjoy working with people who are learning to trust themselves, find their voice, set healthier boundaries, and feel more confident in who they are. These struggles aren't age-specific, and neither is the desire to feel better, communicate differently, or create healthier relationships. I also work with people going through major life transitions or trying to make sense of experiences that have changed how they see themselves or their relationships. Sometimes you don't need someone to tell you what to do. You need someone who will listen, ask the right questions, offer a different perspective, and occasionally challenge you when you're getting in your own way. I am a Certified Grief Therapist, and a Certified Trauma Professional.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Working with CBT allows the focus to be what is going on in your life right now, rather than what led to to the challenge. While some degree of past experience can be helpful, the focus is on moving forward, developing healthy coping mechanisms along the way.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy puts solving the problem at the forefront of the conversation. This method can be especially helpful if you have a particular problem and need help solving it.
Strength-Based
The strength-based approach focuses on the the strengths a person already has, rather than what might be lacking. This method utilizes one's current knowledge and capabilities to foster growth and change.
Family Therapy
Family Therapy helps the family improve interactions through talking with each other. Improving communication, developing healthy boundaries, and reducing conflict among family members.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The Person-Centered approach, alone, or in combined with other types of therapy, can help with the challenges of anxiety, depression, abuse and grief,
