Hello and welcome! My name is Gail and I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addictions counselor in the state of Colorado and a licensed professional counselor in the state of Wyoming. I have over 18 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, inpatient behavioral health, crisis assessment in the community and emergency departments, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and addictions. Although that seems like a wide variety, it simply means that I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with depression, anxiety, addiction issues, and complex trauma/abuse. I also have experience working with relationship/family conflict, first responders, and adolescents.
I would describe my style as warm, supportive, and engaging. I am collaborative in nature and I am ready to walk beside you in your journey to make meaningful change. Together we can work on establishing concrete goals and identify the steps needed to help you overcome your current challenges. I believe in ensuring people have the skills they need to make the changes they would like to make and providing the supportive environment needed to explore any things that are not going well. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy. I also incorporate a variety of other techniques that would be a good fit for how you think and process.
I look forward to working with you! Let's get started.
