LeeAnn Gumulauskas, LPC

Practicing Since: 2010

LeeAnn creates a comfortable, safe space to unpack whatever concerns the client is bringing to counseling. LeeAnn utliizes talk therapy with an emphasis on instilling hope. Sometimes hope comes through changes in circumstances, other times through personal growth along the way. When someone does not have enough hope for themselves, LeeAnn holds hope for them. Together she and her client(s) will celebrate the victories, find a way through the barriers, and walk a path of recovery in whatever part of the journey they are on. LeeAnn considers it a privilege when a client allows her into their sacred space. Something amazing happens when someone is willing to look at a challenging or painful place in their life and allow change to take place. She has watched clients experience hope, growth, healing, and freedom in ways they never imagined possible. LeeAnn is a strengths-based, trauma-informed clinician and primarily uses elements of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing as therapeutic approaches. LeeAnn is offering telehealth counseling services.
