Anita Abelsen-Gay, MA, LPC, LMHC
Owner 

"​I believe that the counseling process is the basis from which change can occur. It is my desire to create a safe relationship where individuals feel that their experiences are understood and accepted. When the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, compassion, understanding and acceptance, individuals are able to feel supported to make positive changes in their lives. I specialize in working with children, teens, and their families. My office space includes a well-equipped play therapy room. Parents and guardians are provided psychoeducation throughout the counseling process to ensure the family system learns together."

"My goal as a therapist is to create a respectful, compassionate, safe, and nurturing environment where you will feel comfortable working through the challenges that are negatively impacting your life. Individual therapy can be a journey focused on healing and self-discovery. It can also simply be a place to start to learn and practice new tools/skills for addressing challenges that are currently affecting your daily life. I believe that everyone can make positive changes to improve their quality of life. I work from a Strengths-based approach and incorporate a range of therapy techniques including CBT, DBT skills, Mindfulness, and EFT. I will work with you to explore which techniques will best meet your specific needs. It takes courage to reach out for help. I believe that is an excellent place to begin. I look forward to meeting you!"

​"Life experiences and transitions influence the way we live, and can be the main reason we are experiencing the types of distress we find ourselves in.  They force us to let go of the familiar and face the future with a feeling of vulnerability.  We can experience great loss, fear, and not knowing where or who to turn to. I would be honored to be with you during this vulnerable time and be a part of your growth, transition, and healing.  I am genuine in my approach and feel the connection between a therapist and client can be hugely transformative.  I look forward to walking with you on your journey."

​Independent Practitioner

 "Trauma, anxiety, grief, burn-out, relational and family stress can keep you from living your life to its full potential. While difficult and stressful experiences are unavoidable in life, there is a way for you to find joy, purpose, and passion again with the right support. I offer compassionate counseling services for adults and couples in supporting them to find their way through difficult life circumstances. I utilize mindfulness, ‘bottom-up’,
experiential, and somatic counseling modalities including Hakomi and Lifespan Integration to help access the body’s wisdom and self-corrective nature in healing."

"I believe our most basic, urgent human task is to know, accept, love, and care for ourselves. The fact that you are here, browsing for a potential counselor, is a brave step in the direction of growth. I would be honored to accompany you on this most heartfelt journey. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, feelings of low self-worth, as well as with those who are sober curious, in recovery, or who want to explore behavioral addictions. My approach to counseling is warm, holistic, and collaborative. Working together, we create a safe space for you to explore your life in an open and honest way, and to take brave steps towards a more fulfilling life."
