Do you or your child have difficulty managing emotions, maintaining healthy meaningful relationships, or coping in a stressful and chaotic world? I am passionate about helping you learn to manage impulsive behaviors, depression and anxiety.

Mental health and emotional independence have always been a journey and passion of mine. Due to my own adversity, I have a wide understanding of the struggles we all face on a day-to-day basis. To be able to acknowledge and accept our inner emotional conflict is the first step to finding stability within ourselves. I specialize in helping children and adolescents who are faced with anxiety, depression, and trauma - to adopt the necessary skills and utilize them to convey a more diverse emotional vocabulary, better express themselves, and healthily cope.

I enjoy working with people of all ages who are experiencing "life" & the stressors that come with it. Especially the older teen, young adult, Gen X & Millenials - life is a journey that none of us are particularly prepared for & there comes a time when a caring ear & an outside professional perspective can truly help. life happens - its how we cope with it that matters most! i work with common issues such as relationship stressors, family conflicts, school life issues, life changes, life planning, behavioral challenges, parenting stressors as well as adults struggling with career issues and in need of basic life coaching.

I help individuals who have experienced trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the end result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low-self-esteem and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well happened.

In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun?

As Aaron Beck, father of Cognitive Therapy states, "It is not bad things happening to us, but it is our interpretation of them that makes all the difference." Therapy will allow you to feel heard and understood in a safe environment, so that you can gain insight and the tools to learn how to cope with various challenges. A individualized treatment plan will help you understand why you are experiencing difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc. If you are ready to STOP being the passenger in this journey called life and get in the driver's seat, call Dr.Gawrych today.
