Managed by Thriveworks. Your call or email may go to a representative.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts with 10 years of experience working with teens, adults, and seniors who are seeking support in coping with depression, anxiety, stress, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), OCD, low self-esteem, chronic stress, and more. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Social Psychology from the University of Rochester and received my Master of Science in Counseling and Applied Educational Psychology from Northeastern University.
I use a person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral approach for all clients, offering a non-judgmental, caring, and empathic space for you to share your experiences. I incorporate humor, warmth, transparency, and compassion to build relationships and am eager to help you on your journey to achieve your therapeutic goals.
I strive to create a unique therapeutic relationship with each client and am ready to collaborate with you on creating strategies for managing life’s challenges.
Take the first step to help. Call or Timothy Gau now - (978) 951-3763
