Hi, I'm Dr. Gunn, I specialize in helping adolescent males and men pursuing good mental well-being. I recognize that males face their own distinct set of pressures and expectations, and throughout my career I have seen how helpful and freeing it can be to have a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. My tailored approach acknowledges the diverse experiences of males, offering support for issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, partner/relationship issues, parenting/family dynamics, career challenges, life transitions, and more.

*Currently accepting new patients* Throughout my work in community mental health, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of client populations including individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance abuse.

We’re all doing our best to handle the demands of modern life. It can be overwhelming, especially when life throws a curve ball. My passion is helping individuals and couples explore their problems in a judgment-free, safe, and supportive environment; it’s my privilege to walk alongside your journey.

Life’s transitions and losses may bring these wounds to the surface and create the catalyst for meaningful change.

While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. All of the therapists here believe that what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. You'll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique or two that you can go home and start using immediately. All eight of our therapists are highly trained, personable, and ready to give you the stills and techniques you need.

In life, there are times when we feel stuck, either in a negative mindset, bad habit or situation wondering what happened and how we arrived at such a place. Often times our problems/situations are prolonged or hidden by shame, defense, hurt or anger. In these situations, what is needed is a safe nonjudgmental space where we feel seen and understood, and to explore challenges in our lives, and the possibility of change. Therapy is meant to create a safe space that allows emotional healing and restoration to take place through rapport building, openness, trust, and awareness.

"My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment-a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want. I've been told by clients that I am "annoyingly optimistic" but that I also "tell it like it is." I expect you to be the "driver" of your therapy while I navigate and provide various paths for you.

Resiliency...this is the most powerful quality of the human spirit. I work with clients to help them realize and expand upon this quality. I have been in the mental health field since 1998. My career has given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults in every imaginable setting (e.g., private practice, clinics, inpatient, outpatient, outdoor therapy, HIV/AIDS, incarceration, foster care, addiction). My education, clients, and experiences have given me a wealth of understanding that I am thankful to be able to bring into my private practice.

I offer consultations for brief focused therapy, long-term psychotherapy, coaching, and referrals to other specialists.

Growing up in Ghana, there was no such thing as talk therapy. Mental health was not a topic of discussion in my culture. I became fascinated with talk therapy during my college years here in America. Over the years, I have felt the need to bring talk therapy to the fore front of my community and all. My exprience has been working with adults with serious mental illnesses, children with family trauma and abandonments, individuals and families. I specialize in couples and groups as well. My approach is creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable and sincere in your disclosure of deep and personal thoughts. I am an LGBTQ ally.

With every step you take in your healing journey, I will walk alongside offering effective tools, humor and metaphors, and endless empathy for you to reach the goals you want to achieve.
