I have been practicing since 1992, taking a hiatus to raise my four children.

Are you struggling with your relationships, depression, anxiety, and past trauma? Perhaps you have experienced sexual abuse in your past and you are having trouble with current relationships. Are you a juvenile who has committed a sexual offense? Counseling can help. I use EMDR, it is a type of therapy that can be done to address those memories and clear a path to a happier, healthier you. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a therapy that can help people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Here is a link to a video to introduce you to EMDR: https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY

As a multicultural woman, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, but I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault /violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more. With experience serving ages 12-adult, I aim to create a safe space to explore an array of different obstacles within the human experience to leave the client feeling empowered and heard. My clients come to me looking for reprieve from mental aguish, and in true acceptance of the self, we venture there together.

My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral. Strong evidence supports the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for helping individuals with a wide range of problems, including Depression, Anxiety and ADHD. I also incorporate the use of other therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment, Relational, Interpersonal and Psychodynamic Therapy. My initial goal is to create a safe therapeutic environment. I work with clients to reach an agreement on the goals. As therapy proceeds, we will evaluate progress toward those goals and work together to make therapy as effective for you as possible.

Hi, I'm Gina Gardner-Wood, LCSW. I am the practice owner of Hope and Healing Therapy. Many of us experience feelings of anxiety, depression and hopelessness, as well as triggers surrounding a traumatic event or history of trauma. You don't have to suffer alone!

Lost? Struggling? Hurt? Counseling isn't about losing and admitting defeat; its about gaining new directions and renewed strength. I help men and women who are stuck and ready to move onward. I don't judge or condemn your past decisions; I help you create new and healthy actions. Counseling is a place where you get the support you need to make sense of the chaos that has been going on so that you can see the direction to where you want your life to go!

Would you like to experience a deep and radical transformation in your life? Do you believe that everything in life happens for a reason, but you're not always sure what it is? How would you like to achieve the highest expression of your soul in this lifetime? Every night our soul is speaking to us through our dreams, but often we don't know how to interpret the message. As a portal to the source of who we are, dreams guide us to our deepest healing, our highest potential, and the connections that assure us we are on the right path.

I'm offering video and in/person session. I have always had a passion for joining people in their stories and strongly believe that no one should ever have to feel alone in their journey. I specialize in working with complex trauma and I am especially passionate about helping women work through past or current trauma toward healing. While trauma is my area of expertise, I also enjoy working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use issues, and grief and loss. Throughout my work, I have seen the resiliency of the human spirit. It is now my passion and my privilege to join my clients in navigating their path.

My life philosophy revolves around bringing loving kindness and acceptance into all parts of my life—including inside the therapeutic space. I believe we are all doing the best with the tools and experiences we were given, and that therapy can bring new meaning to those experiences. As a counselor, it is not my job to tell others how they should be—instead, I am here to accept my clients as they are while holding space for the areas in their lives that they want to change.

Tim is Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Many sex & pornography addicts and their partners say they have been to therapy, but it has not been helpful….until they have begun therapy with a CSAT(Certified Sex Addiction Therapist). Founded by Dr. Carnes the CSAT program was developed after years of extensive experience and research in the field of addiction therapy now considered the gold seal standard in sex and pornography addiction. The dynamics of behavioral addictions are complex; so much so that mental health professionals must take an entirely different approach to even begin the process of understanding addiction and recovery.

I will provide individual, couples and family therapy to anyone seeking guidance. Regardless of your concerns, I will provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to address your needs so that you can find a new perspective that will help you. When I provide couples counseling I begin with learning about you as a couple why you were attracted to each other. Then we work together to figure out what got lost that brought you to seek out counseling. I am a Level 2 PACT therapist, based on the teachings of Dr. Stan Tatkin.
