Intern
Hello! My name is Gillian. I am currently working towards my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am an intern at New Directions Fox Chapel. I have previous experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds for neuropsychological evaluations. As a counselor, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable expressing your true self.
I focus on getting to know you and what matters most in your life. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together. Using a person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approach, we can work to increase your insight and build skills to help support you as you navigate life’s challenges.
We are all trying our best to thrive in our environment, and you don’t have to take that on alone. Reaching out for help or sharing what is happening internally can be difficult, but if you are ready, I am here to listen and support you as you continue on your wellness journey.
