Patrick E Gilliland
Recognizing the need for help is an important first step. In fact, rather than acknowledging a weakness, it is a sign of strength. I want to help you to build on that strength to achieve success in the areas you are struggling with. Specializing in relationship dynamics, I invite individuals, couples, and families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and build skills to manage anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and more. Christian counseling, men's issues, and family roles are additional areas of special focus I provide.
I help repair and rebuild the connection between partners, teaching evidence based skills on how to state needs, set healthy boundaries, and bring harmony back into the relationship.
I believe in personal responsibility, the reality of options at your disposal, and your ability to make decisions that are good for you with clarity. Ownership results in liberty. I would be working with you to help things make more sense and see a path forward.
First session
In our first session together, we will start with a brief introduction, then dive into the challenges you are facing. This will help us create a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Working with individuals, whether facing a major change, a loss, or wrestling with a mood condition, it can get overwhelming. An overall goal is to help you recognize your strengths, acknowledge what needs work, to see yourself fairly, and address the issues with clarity. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see couples struggling with communication and conflict. Through misunderstanding and misinterpreting, people easily get to false conclusions. I do my best to help you clear that up and gain confidence about what you give to the relationship. I help repair and rebuild the connection between partners, teaching evidence based skills on how to state needs, set healthy boundaries, and bring harmony back into the relationship.
Ideal clients
Couples, whether married or not. If you are about age 15 and older, we could be a good fit. Any one counselor is not the best fit for all people; you get to decide if we are.
