Hello, my name is Gilda. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in counseling. My work has been with individuals of all ages (5 to 95) struggling with multiple challenges such as adjustment difficulties, family conflict, vocational/educational challenges, anxiety, depression, grief reactions and trauma responses. I am also a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor working with individuals who are seeking support to address stressors that challenge their recovery efforts.
I utilize many different evidence-based interventions including solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, seeking safety, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and relapse prevention through a trauma-informed lens.
Coming from the perspective that everyone has a story and deserves to be seen and heard. I aim to provide a warm and quiet space without judgement. We will set goals based upon what you would like to achieve in therapy, and I’ll offer tools/skills that can assist you in achieving lasting growth. My goal is to empower you to develop strategies to deal effectively with life challenges. You have already taken the hardest step looking for help, and I look forward to seeing how I can support your journey.
