My name is Fawn Gillins, LPC. As a counselor, I employ an integrative approach combining Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. My practice specializes in sex therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, and teenage issues, offering tailored support to individuals and couples navigating these areas to foster growth and emotional well-being
My approach
As a mental health provider, I integrate Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches into my practice. Through Narrative Therapy, I empower individuals to re-author their life stories, exploring the meaning they assign to their experiences and facilitating personal growth. Additionally, I utilize CBT techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, fostering positive change and improved mental well-being.
My focus
I love working with a diverse group of ages, personalities, and presenting issues. I feel most comfortable treating anxiety, depression, trauma related incidents, and christian based couples counseling.
My communication style
I strive to foster a warm and inviting atmosphere in counseling sessions, where clients feel safe, respected, and understood. By cultivating genuine empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental acceptance, I aim to create a space where clients feel comfortable opening up and sharing their thoughts and emotions. My goal is for clients to perceive me as a trustworthy and supportive ally in their journey toward healing and personal growth.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into therapy was born from a deep-seated desire to help individuals navigate through life's most challenging moments. Particularly drawn to supporting the younger generation, I embarked on this path with the intention of empowering them to become the heroes of their own stories. Through empathy, guidance, and support, my aim is to assist clients in finding their inner strength and resilience, ultimately guiding them toward a place of empowerment and self-discovery.
My goals for you
In goal setting with counseling clients, I prioritize collaboration and client-centeredness. Through open dialogue and active listening, I help clients articulate their aspirations, values, and desired outcomes. Together, we establish specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that align with their unique needs and facilitate progress toward positive change.
My first session with you
During your first visit with me, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where they are encouraged to share openly and honestly. We'll begin by getting to know each other, discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, and outlining your goals and expectations. I'll take the time to explain my approach to therapy and answer any questions you may have. Together, we'll establish a comfortable pace and build a foundation of trust and collaboration as we work towards your well-being and personal growth.
