Cecil Gauer
Hey, I'm Cecil! I'm happy you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist. I've specialized in helping folks within the LGBTQ+ community. I've received training in this area and, as a bisexual trans man, I have a drive to help those I share community with. Likewise, I have a lot of experience working with people struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
First session
One of my biggest goals is to meet somewhere where they are in their healing journey. The first step of this process looks different for everyone. I strive to strike a balance between providing short-term solutions to alleviate distress and actively working to identify and address the underlying causes of any distress.
Strengths
I feel incredibly grateful that many of my clients have felt comfortable enough to share and explore things they have previously been unable to talk about, even with other therapists. My clients tend to find me humorous, straightforward, and validating as a therapist.
Ideal clients
It brings me a lot of joy to work with clients who are members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as those navigating poly/enm relationships. Many of my clients come to me seeking support to take the next steps as they embrace themselves or need help finding their voice.
