Hello, my name is Joani Gammill. Thank you for taking the brave step of looking for help.

Do you feel like an imposter? Does it feel like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't? Are you trying to overcome the effects of trauma, whether from a major life event, or from many smaller things throughout your life that have eaten away at your self-esteem? I'm guessing that you have many negative beliefs about yourself that you know, logically, aren't true. It's really hard to turn that logic into true belief about your worth as a human being, though. I can help you to go from just knowing in your head that you're worthy of love and a fulfilling life to truly believing it deep down. That makes a huge difference!

Finding happiness within ourselves and our relationships may seem unattainable at times. We are often faced with painful thoughts, emotions and behaviors that intercede, leaving us feeling disconnected and alone. My therapeutic approach allows clients to feel safe in order to explore these painful emotions and gain an understanding in how they affect client's self-worth and interpersonal relationships.

During my 26 years in the social work profession, I have had an array of experiences that have focused on crisis work with families, and individuals experiencing: trauma, loss, depression, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, housing & employment issues, and family challenges. In my more recent practice years, I have enjoyed working with the LGBTQ community as a straight ally, and advocating for equal rights and fair treatment for all. I am also certified as a divorce mediator, and I provide clinical supervision to graduate level social work professionals seeking their LCSW-C licensure.

Infidelity, Sex addiction, Compulsive Porn use and other compulsive sexual behaviors can wreak havoc on ones own life, and leave a wake of pain, betrayal and trauma in the lives of those who are connected with them.

If you are the partner, wife or family member of this individual, we understand the betrayal, trauma, confusion, anger, despair that may be how you are feeling.

Starting therapy can be an intimidating, but life changing decision. My goal is to foster an authentic, individualized, & judgment-free relationship, no matter who you are or where you're at in life. Whether you are brand new to therapy, or have been in therapy for years & need something new, I'm here to support you from session one. When working together, I'll combine traditional talk therapy with an integrated health approach. What this means is, as we explore what brings you in each week, we'll also talk about ALL aspects of your health like quality of sleep, chronic pain, work life, finances, & all things that affect wellbeing.

"There is the inside , there is the outside and then there is the bridge between the two." I work extensively with PTSD, addiction and trauma recovery. I have over 25 years of experience with EMDR. Panic attacks, addictions, nightmares and social phobia are also a large part of the work I do. I utilize emdr because talk therapy sometimes simply doesn't work.
