I am Gillian. I am a natural born empath. Do you struggle with the push through mentality? I want the individuals I work with to feel heard, to feel understood, to know they can be 100 percent themselves with zero judgment. I know finding the right therapist can be difficult. My approach is Person Centered based. This means I wholeheartedly believe a person has the capacity for growth. My specialties include working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Therapy. I can help with navigating complex and uncomfortable emotions. Seeking therapy is an act of prioritizing yourself. It takes courage to be vulnerable. It can be difficult to get to a place of peace and find joy in the simplest of things when you are in that so to speak tunnel.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
How I like to structure first sessions is providing a brief introduction/background of myself and asking the same of the individual I am working with also adding what ultimately brings them to therapy. I then complete intake of information that pertains to individual's history (ie family and medical history).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is my laid back, empathetic, non-bias demeanor and personality. Having worked with individuals from Toddler age to the elderly population, I have been able to utilize my strengths in a number of environments with various cultures.
