Hi! My name is Gilmarie, but you can feel free to call me Gigi. I am a licensed, clinical social worker providing individual therapy and couples counseling for clients in Illinois. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and am of Puerto Rican descent. As a social worker/therapist, I love working with people and I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. It is an honor to walk through life with my clients. Also, I enjoy providing faith-based counseling for those who desire to incorporate their faith in their therapeutic journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session there will be a time for some introductions and going over consents and confidentiality for clarity. After that, we can dive in to what brings client to therapy and what specific challenges they may be facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is that I genuinely care for my clients and use all tools at my disposal to help client reach their therapeutic goals. I provide a client-centered approach with an eclectic application of theories that will be used as needed and that would be most effective for the presenting issues.
