Glori Gaston LCSW

My therapeutic style is personable, pragmatic, strengths and evidence-based, humorous, and at times didactic/philosophical. I believe in mind-body approaches to addressing mental health challenges and trauma. I provide a safe space to process events, speak your mind, find and articulate your truth, and to practice the skills you are trying to cultivate. Whether working with individuals or couples, you can expect my full attention and caring, as well as homework "opportunities." I encourage note-taking and provide educational resources, suggested reading/listening, writing prompts and assignments to promote deeper understanding and ultimately further your progress. I hope to inspire and encourage you to lean inward vs. tune out whenever possible. To not stop caring, to commit and recommit in earnest so that you may know peace.

My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem, health and wellness, job stress and career counseling, burnout, trauma and PTSD. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling to navigate loss and life transitions, to find/create meaning- to integrate into new chapters of life. I have experience in a variety of specializations from suicide and crisis counseling, evidence-based trauma therapy, medical case management, acute palliative care, substance abuse, and relationship and lifestyle coaching. I practice CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, transpersonal psychotherapy, positive psychology, memory reconsolidation, existential and narrative therapy.
