Brenda Gillespie

You don’t have to do this alone. I work with teens, adults, and children 8 and up. With master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health and Education—and over 30 years as an educator and school counselor—I offer a warm, steady space for healing. I support clients facing grief, depression, ADHD, autism, anxiety, parenting and behavior concerns, and caregiver stress. In our first session, you’ll feel heard, supported, and encouraged as we begin your path forward. I create a calm, supportive environment where you can share openly and feel truly heard. I use a blend of CBT, Art Therapy, Person‑Centered, and Solution‑Focused approaches, choosing what fits best for your needs and goals. During our first session, my goal is for you to feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. You’ll have space to share your story at your own pace, ask questions, and explore what you’re hoping for in counseling. By the time you leave, I hope you feel understood, supported, and confident about the path ahead.
