Do you feel like you haven’t been yourself lately? Perhaps you have experienced an upsetting, difficult, or traumatic event. You might find yourself thinking, “Am I broken? Am I crazy? What is wrong with me?” I specialize in helping people who are struggling with difficult life experiences to restore peace and purpose to their lives. I enjoy working with parents coping with pregnancy and postpartum concerns, or other individuals struggling with trauma, grief, or anxiety.
I have the skills and knowledge to help you find contentment in life again. As a certified EMDR provider, I can help in a unique way that you may not have experienced with other therapists. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International.
I know what it's like to struggle. I've been there, and I can help. Life can still be fulfilling and rewarding. You can have contentment and feel like yourself again. I look forward to coming alongside you and guiding you toward a more hope-filled future.
Take the first step to help. Call or Allison C Gildner now - (218) 422-3395
