My name is Gary. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for more than 15 years. I am an associate faculty member with a major, nationally accredited university in Indiana. I have years of experience working with the LGBT community. My main focus of counseling has been with individuals and families, focusing on helping the family and the individual cope better with each other. A great deal of my experience has been working with persons who identify at LGBT. I believe strongly in the strength of the person, and in doing so I wish to help a person pull from their own strength to improve their lives. I am a personable and laid back person who will not tell you what you want to hear, but instead help you find a voice to help you with just about any personal issues you may face. I look forward to working with you!

I am licensed in Illinois, North Carolina, and Indiana, with 22 years of professional work experience. I am also a licensed clinical addictions counselor in Indiana. I have experience in helping clients with lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Each of us holds the power to make choices that will enhance our lives and move us closer to our goals. Sometimes we are able to move towards change with deliberation and intent and other times we find ourselves in situations and circumstances where we feel an urgent need to change our thoughts, behaviors, or feelings. Change can be difficult, but my role is to provide you with the support you need to manage planned and unplanned transitions and changes. I believe that enhancing wellness and increasing a client’s sense of empowerment to make better choices will help clients become more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. Helping clients learn to better manage life stressors and develop strategies for coping with developmental transitions and relational challenges are emphases in my work. In our work together, I may employ a variety of therapeutic techniques to encourage you to take new perspectives and engage in new behaviors that will help you better manage the challenges that have brought you into my office. Using a humanistic framework, and depending on the nature of the concern, I may use techniques from cognitive and behavioral therapy, existential counseling, choice theory, and feminist theory. I often incorporate client homework assignments into therapy including bibliotherapy, journaling, or other brief writing assignments.

25 years offering treatment
I'm an Indiana licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adults, including a decade offering telehealth. My approach is straightforward and collaborative, centered on empowering you to improve your mental and emotional well-being. I believe you are the expert of your own story and have valuable strengths to overcome challenges. Together, we'll address difficulties like anxiety (persistent worry), depression (sadness), stress (overwhelm), life transitions, career issues, low motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I tailor my techniques to your unique needs, frequently utilizing evidence-based approaches such as CBT and mindfulness to support your growth. I also believe that much of growth/healing occurs outside of the session. Therefore, I use tools from betterhelp and apps that will allow you to engage in therapeutic activities daily. Taking that first step to sign up for therapy requires real courage, and I want to acknowledge and commend you for getting started. It's a sign of your strength and commitment to your well-being, and I'm here to support you on this journey.
