GAYLA ROBInson, M.A, LPC

      Every Age Every Stage Clinician 

Many issues we face as people stem from our inability to upgrade our thinking and walk in accountability. We often base our current selves on the labels others have given, or we've given ourselves. Rather than reaching our full potential, we live a compromised life. Mental health is learning to manage the outcome of what we've done and what was done to us. 

Mental health services are not a one-size-fits-all model, and I work to customize the therapeutic experience with relevant and culturally sensitive interventions. Not everyone has a mental disorder; in fact, most do not. Typically, people are victims of being mishandled by life and respond out of that dysfunction.

I address issues of daily life and also nuanced experiences of church/religious hurt, rejection, abandonment, separation and divorce transitioning, stifled creativity, lack of knowing self, shyness, social and conversational awkwardness, self-discovery in career, self-care issues, dominant culture conflicts (i.e., racism, sexism, ableism experiences)

My motto is to focus on "doing better," and "feeling better" will come alongside. My goal is to assist and challenge clients to become more self-aware, more interpersonally aware, more understanding of how thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and environments impact the quality of life, and more empowered to reduce barriers to personal growth."
