Hello, my name is Cecelia Pooley Gillespie, LCSW, SEP. I work with all ages, with a recent focus on youth and families, including those in rural and Indigenous communities.. I can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, parenting, life transitions, and more. My therapeutic approach is strengths based and solution focused. While I find the cognitive and behavioral lens of CBT, DBT and Narrative Therapy to be valuable, I believe it can be important at times to also incorporate Experiential Therapy, such as creativity, movement, and expression, as well as Somatic work for exploring the mind-body connection.
I am known for my kind, open, and present demeanor. I feel it is an honor to support people in their healing and consider safety, clarity, and the client's voice leading as essential parts of the foundation for our work together.
During our first session I will be attentive to how much time we need to build safety and get to know each other. When you are ready, I will be interested to know what brings you to exploring therapy at this time. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
