Therapists Beginning With G in West Virginia

Starting counseling can be hard...what will counseling sessions be like, which therapist will be the best fit, and what if I don't "click" with the therapist? Utilizing over 28 years of experience, i can help make starting the process more comfortable and less intimidating. I help clients successfully manage depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, substance-use, body image, and stress-related issues in a warm. judgment-free, supportive environment. I am currently accepting new adult clients in WV and KY.

Award winning transformation focused therapist Licensed in Virginia and D.C. Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work, you can get worn out, and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process.

Oftentimes these issues can lead to anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.

Hello! I’m Carolyn, a licensed independent clinical social worker practicing in West Virginia since 2019. I strive to create a comfortable, supportive, and empowering environment so that clients can open up and feel a connection.

I have worked with individuals of all ages, and currently I am providing individual therapy services to clients who are 12 and up.

With over 40 years as a practicing psychologist, I have learned that it is not just the latest technique that helps people change, but being deeply understood in a trusting therapy relationship.

Are you feeling disconnected ? Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Sometimes our experiences and circumstances leave us struggling to get through the day to day. Or, maybe you are managing, but you're left feeling depleted and exhausted. Whether you are managing a mental health diagnosis, experiencing a difficult life transition, or struggling with unhelpful self-talk, it can take a toll. I believe all people inherently possess the capacity to make life- enriching, meaningful change. Sometimes, we just need extra support to sort through all that life might throw at us in order to make those changes.

I've been working with people now for many years with a wide range of issues. From the person with time management and stress issues up through those that suffer from life changing illnesses such as Bipolar or severe Substance Use Disorder.

When someone reaches out for help I will be there reaching back.

Hi. I'm Linda. I'm a therapist in Huntington, WV; and I was inspired to become a licensed therapist because people naturally confide in me; friends, family, strangers. They came to me when they were going through hard times. As a therapist, I often work with people who are at a crossroads and struggling with making the right decisions. I work with those who are seeking to get some relief in their battle with anxiety and depression. I help people make progress in their recovery, or to pick up the pieces after a relapse. I work with clients that are seeking to do more than just cope with what life is dishing out.

I offer a safe and comfortable space to explore areas of your life that you want to improve, changes you want to make, and work on figuring out who you are and what you want to be.
