Teletherapy for Northville, MI

I am happy to announce that I am doing teletherapy. Research shows it is as effective as in office therapy! I know from 30+ years of experience that I can help you grow through your issues.

Therapy is hard work but so is living in pain. You can feel better. For more info go to www.DrGail.com.

I can help you figure out how you got where you are and how to untangle everything so that you feel like you're back in control of your life.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page. My passion is helping people find and reclaim their inner strengths and abilities. All too often, therapy focuses on the negatives - i.e. what is going wrong with life. I believe it is just as important to figure out what is going right, and that is why we will work on two things: 1.) Lessening you or your child's suffering, and 2.) Building up self-esteem and self-reliance in the process.

Life is rarely easy. At times, things start to feel unmanageable and we get overwhelmed. This can be due to life circumstances, a challenging diagnosis, or simply the realities of being human. The good news is, things can get better. Finding the right person to help you along the way is a huge step. I'd love to be your teammate in this journey. Working together, we'll get through this.

Rediscover your happiness - or redefine it. Evolve stale relationships; generate meaningful experiences at work; introduce more peace and unity at home. Wherever you are struggling, I help you create a new lense through which you will gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors and ultimately feel better. I earned my Masters degree in both clinical/community and school counseling, and a Masters degree in secondary education. I taught for 11 years, incorporating much adolescent, group, and family counseling during that time. I have expanded to counseling individuals and couples of all ages, including families.

My client has the answers they need inside of them, they just need some outside perspective. Most of my clients have experienced trauma in their lives in some form, and struggled with finding themselves or finding meaning in their life experience afterward. I enjoy navigating and exploring the full-range of human experience including issues pertaining to identity and sexuality, unearthing fears and anxieties, boundary setting, and building expression in all areas of life.

I enjoy meeting amazing individuals each and every day and consider it a privilege to join you on this journey of discovery and healing. Most often we seek therapy because something in life just isn’t working. Maybe you feel depressed, anxious or suicidal; maybe you’ve experienced trauma or extreme stress. I have great respect for your decision to enter this process. I will work with you to determine goals and imagine a better tomorrow. We will focus on validating your life experiences, while giving space your emotions and building on your existing skills to reduce distressing thoughts and increase self-compassion!

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, and we all have times when we need extra support in order to deal with the stressors that we are faced with. I help people to better understand their difficulties and to develop coping skills that lead to happier, more fulfilling lives. My background in human resource management and coaching youth sports gives me a unique perspective regarding challenges my clients face at both work and school. Recent events in the world due to the Covid-19 pandemic have led to a significant increase in anxiety and depression. It has changed life for people in unprecedented ways. Therapy can help.

Are you struggling in some way, and need to talk to someone? Do you feel stuck? Do you want a safe space to be yourself? Are you looking for support in an area of your life? I want to empower you and help tap into your strengths, so that together we can aid you in making your desired changes in your life.

We all have the capacity for personal growth and positive change. With healthy coping skills and communication techniques, you can learn skills to take control of your life, respond to challenging situations, and alleviate emotional distress.

After being a psychotherapist for 30 years, learning and growing on the journey, I now am passionate about supporting my clients to open to learning about all the aspects of themselves, dark and light, and bringing love and acceptance to it all. It is here that we find true happiness and purpose. Through awareness, we find our way to ceasing judgement and the eternal push to find happiness outside of ourselves.. And as we learn to be in the present moment, we develop valuable skills for self regulation and resilience, freeing us to live the life of our dreams.
