Therapists in 11021

Life is a journey filled with many different challenges that can be overwhelming and distressing. My goal is to be there with you in finding new ways of coping with such difficulties. I became a therapist because of my passion to connect deeply with people and help with self exploration and growth. I believe that such a connection can relieve many obstacles and improve emotional well being. I am trained in evidence-based clinical treatments for individuals, couples, and families going through daily struggles such as interpersonal conflicts, marital conflicts, parent-child difficulties, high anxiety, depression, and more.

Hi, I'm Gayle. If you're feeling alone, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck, you might not want to talk to your friends about it or you might worry that your family won't understand. That's where I come in: I believe in the power of listening and the resilience of people. I can help you dig in, move forward, and get un-stuck! I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety and depression, and life transitions, and whether you're in crisis or just need some guidance, I can help.

I have found that the most important factor in any successful therapy is the chemistry between therapist and the people he/she works with. I use the therapeutic relationship to understand what problems an individual faces outside the office, what blocks them from accomplishing what they want for themselves. A therapeutic relationship is often one of the most intimate and private relationships one can have. I try to help people develop their own sense of agency to gain control over their lives. I believe people want to be seen and heard. I enjoy being able to provide that for them.

Seeking help is hard. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced for decades focusing on assisting Individuals of teenagers, adults, couples and families. I utilize insight oriented and cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-education, as well as many other therapeutic concepts to promote a supportive atmosphere so that my clients gain acceptance and control over their issues. People are not the same, neither is their treatment. When facing hard times, it's a good idea to ask for help.

We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand your past and how it shapes your perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

Psychotherapy is a personal journey. Each person is an individual with individual needs, preferences and ways of being. Connecting with a therapist who recognizes that can be life changing.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.
