Counseling
Laura Gillen, MA, LPC, NCC
How I work with you
We will start where you are. I use a combination of methods depending on what you need but it always starts with listening to you. I want to know your experience. Depending on you and your situation, I may combine Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in counseling. I offer all new clients a complimentary 20-minute introductory session.
Due to our current Covid-19 challenges, I see all clients through tele-health. I offer HIPAA compliant video conference sessions, if it is appropriate for your needs.
Insurance & Better Help
Please do not feel that you need to cope alone. Contact me to book a session.

Choosing to seek counseling can be a daunting step at first, but if you feel the need to talk to someone, please follow your instincts. Often people feel that they "should handle things better" or "shake it off", or that dwelling on something is somehow self-indulgent. But, if you fell down and wounded your leg, you would clean and heal the wound. It is no different with the "invisible" wounds held in our memories and hearts. Remember that you and your experiences are unique and uniquely matter.
And please know that wherever you are on your journey, you can change your direction to your true destination, no matter where you begin.

Many clients who come for counseling may simply have a general awareness that things don't feel right in their life. There is a lack of happiness, direction, and sense of wellbeing. As we explore this we may find old wounds to heal and work together to reset their compass. Others have more immediate and specific issues. I typically work with:
