Jessica Reid, LPC

Owner

My passion is in helping to facilitate and cultivate healthy behavioral approaches in the marital (couple), family, and individual dynamic by creating effective changes, hope, and healing. I have experience working with individuals, children, families, couples, and those struggling with addictions, from all walks of life and cultural diversities. I encourage personal growth and healing with an emphasis on solution-focused therapy while integrating one’s own spirituality, I believe we all have our own answers within us and I want to help facilitate in finding them!

I offer a safe, non judgmental atmosphere that clients can finally feel safe to explore hurts and healing options, with individuals, couples and families.

I am here to support you and encourage you to find your passion, purpose, and direction!

Roni Gilbert, LPC

This is a place that can help you if you are feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of life, seeking clarity, or wanting someone to listen to you without judgement and with acceptance. I embrace the opportunity to treat a client with a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, relational issues, such as depression and anxiety disorders, including spiritual problems as well. Client can be assured that confidentiality is highly valued, maintaining professionalism, and providing ethical and competent care.

The psychological approach and counseling interventions to be used are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have the desire to integrate theories/strategies of psychology with Christian faith, if desired, or allow the client to determine what concentration of faith, if any, they prefer in the session.

I would enjoy the opportunity to sit down and hear your story! This gives me the chance to offer feedback and practical skills learned from my program and experience. Counseling gives me the opportunity to meet clients where they are at in life and encourage them to move forward towards growth and change.

Marie Avila, LMSW

I have worked in the Behavioral Health field for nearly 25 years, mostly in community mental health in Maricopa County. I have a lot of experience with understanding how mental health and trauma are intertwined. I have done a lot of work with families and understand the complexities of the relationship. I specialize in families and marriage therapy, having done this predominantly over the last several years. I am here to support you as you create a life that you are proud of.

Lori Gille, LAC

I have a passion for helping teens and adults become their best self. My goal is to help individuals and couples discover and actualize their goals. We will work together through obstacles by gaining coping skills, receive acceptance and challenging thought processes that are working against your core values. I believe you know yourself best and I want to empower you on your journey. We can work through struggles with life changes, disappointments and relationships. Let’s uncover your strengths, self-worth, and add positive coping skills.

I received my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I have 20 years of experience in the medical field as well. I have a nonjudgmental client centered approach integrating individualization, empathy, and humor in an easy-going atmosphere. I received training and certifications in CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT and Clinical Trauma Specialist.

Life gets messy and we can feel stuck where we are at. Worry and anxiety can leave us feeling exhausted, tired and alone. I will sit with you, joining you where you are at, just as you are. Please feel free to contact me and make that first step. You can do it! I believe in you! I am under direct supervision of Jessica Reid, LPC per AZBBHE.
