Welcome! I’m Gale Green, M.A., L.P.C. and I appreciate the willingness and trust you have taken to address an issue you would like to examine. With that in mind, allow me to share who I am and what I can offer to you.
I began this part of my life journey after working in many industries and at many jobs. After my children were grown and gone, I decided to pursue my lifelong career dream of counseling people. After returning to school and obtaining my Master's Degree, I took early retirement to begin my new career.
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri for eighteen years. During these years I worked with many individuals and families - active duty military families, refugees and immigrants that fled war and torture; incarcerated individuals and their families, as well as ordinary couples and families who seek to improve their lives. Please know that along with my professional training and licensing, I bring the addition of my many decades of life experiences that, I believe, have proven invaluable to my empathy and understanding of where you may be in your life. I strive, first and foremost, to LISTEN. If I don’t do that, I will not know what you need or what we will need to do together to address your reasons for counseling.
The therapeutic approaches that I have found most effective are Solution Focused Therapy, Eclectic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You may not know what any of these therapies mean. THAT’S OKAY! These therapies are merely a way to help me determine the best way to help you feel comfortable, to help you identify your true problem and provide a framework to help me help you find ways for you to manage or eliminate the concern that brought you to counseling.
My goal is to always be empathetic and supportive of your thoughts, ideas, and needs. Honesty is an invaluable part of therapy and I will always aim to help you feel safe enough to be honest with yourself, so that you can be honest with me, as we collaborate to meet your therapy goals. Judgment is not a part of how I function. Ultimately, my overarching desire is to LISTEN, be SUPPORTIVE, and HELP YOU IDENTIFY your true reason for counseling NOW, and then work with you to achieve your counseling goals with open and honest communication.
At this time, I am only accepting clients that are 21 and older and that reside in the State of Missouri or countries outside of the USA. If you think you would like to give working with me a try, I would be most honored to work with you.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Depression, Coping with life changes, Abandonment, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Attachment issues, Blended Family Issues, Cancer, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain illness and disability, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Domestic Violence, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, First Responder Issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Military and Veterans Issues, Money and financial issues, Multicultural Concerns, Prejudice and Discrimination, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Sexual Assault and Abuse, Women's issues, Workplace issues

Gale is amazing. I love how she supports me and listens and helps me. She also sends me links on days that aren’t our appointments to help me.

Written on Feb 20, 2024 after therapy with Gale for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
I've had several therapists before and after 1 session the resources she pinpointed for me were my style of learning, even without knowing me well. Maybe it was luck, but I took it as a good sign. Others sent me to podcasts which I tried but wasn't a fan. She linked me to a source with studies and research data and I read these in my spare time, but random ones from ADHD rabbit-hole curiosity questions. Now I can target that spare time to more studies that help me learn about myself. Within a few articles I saw science data backing questions I have asked my in office doctors that have said "It's possible, yeah". Like hormone levels and ADHD. I had my doctor check mine and they admitted they weren't sure of a correlation to my symptoms. So I'm grateful she found a resource I never searched out on my own.
Also when I read Gale's background about her career, I got a sense that she does the work because she has a gift for compassion. That may not be what everyone needs for therapy. Some people need sterile clinical approach, which I can appreciate because like I said I love reading research studies. But as someone who is an " I'm fine" person for far too long, I think it is going to take a compassionate therapist to allow me to allow myself to be honest about what I need help with.

Gale isnt a blank sheet that bounces back your own words. Gale has years of wisdom that she brings to the chair and she shares relevant details from her own life and gives you space to explore yours.
She also brings a vibrant personality - while she's qualified and knowledgeable, she's also a bit of a bright gem amongst some overly serious practitioners.
Gail gets to the point but never pushes me beyond my limits, and she respects the experience I have of my situation, which I haven't felt in the past.
Overall, I'd say she's struck a fine balance.
Very thankful to have found her.

I started working with Gale 2 months ago when the loss of my beloved cat became too much to bear. During my work with Gale I realised that this bereavement had brought years of trauma to the surface as my resilience was so low. Gale helped me to face that trauma, go through it, write about it and eventually burn it. Releasing me from years of metaphorical shackles that dictated so much of my life.
This was the most important thing I’ve ever done for myself and I couldn’t have done it without Gale. A truly wonderful, warm and understanding person who only wanted the best for me. It was a difficult journey that would have been much more difficult if it weren’t for her.
If you are considering therapy, take it from me that it is absolutely the right thing to do. I can now live my life free of burden and start a marriage as this new woman.
I am endlessly grateful for Gale. I wish I could put into words what this meant for me but they just wouldn’t do it justice. Thank you. For everything.

Written on Jul 22, 2021 after therapy with Gale for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and adhd
I was introduced to Gale as my therapist during a difficult point in my life. I had experienced a recent loss of family, difficulties with close family members, extreme stress with work and my personal life, and she was able to start the process to help me through that. Gale is not only professional, she is efficient at finding the core of her clients therapy needs. She is also kind, considerate, passionate about her job, and personable.
Right away I found myself able to speak openly to her without fear of judgement. She was honest and sincere when I needed her to be, and able to laugh and joke with me when I needed a break from the tension.
Her versatility in helping me to tackle different obstacles in my life through questionnaires, role playing, and simply talking with me, is deeply appreciated. I look forward to continuing my healing process with her and I would recommend her whole heartedly.
