Gillian LichterCounselor, LMHC

About

I believe the most important element of therapy is the client-therapist relationship, and so her approach is compassionate and collaborative. I seek to provide a safe, supportive environment that fosters empowerment and self-acceptance. Throughout the process, my clients and I explore and gain insight into present and past experiences to better understand personal and interpersonal dynamics and recurring patterns of thinking and behaving. In a person-centered environment, I work with clients to set goals, identify barriers, and develop constructive coping strategies to manage internal and external stressors. I practice from a psychodynamic framework and may integrate mindfulness and other approaches depending on the needs of each client. I specialize in depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, family conflict, polyamory, career-related concerns, and substance use and sobriety.
