Getting to know Gayla Colbert

Hi there, I'm Gayla! Welcome to Serenity and Joy, where healing begins with connection. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and courage. With a client-centered and strengths-based approach, I create a safe, supportive space for growth and change. Together, we’ll work to uncover your inner resilience and build the tools for lasting well-being. My approach My practice is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that real healing happens when we feel truly seen and heard. I work with adults who are facing depression, grief, or simply a desire to reconnect with meaning and purpose. Using a blend of ACT, Solution-Focused, Brief Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy, I tailor each session to your needs—supporting you to move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. I’m direct, open, and not afraid to ask the kind of questions that help uncover the “why” behind the stuck points. Whether you’re grieving a deep loss, overwhelmed by stress, or standing at a crossroads in your life or relationship, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our work together will be a collaboration—warm, focused, and grounded in respect. And because life is busy enough, I offer all sessions virtually across Texas so that support is always within reach. My focus You’ve been holding it all together for a while now—on the outside, it looks like you’re managing, but inside, things feel heavy. Maybe you're overwhelmed by change, worn down by anxiety, or simply tired of navigating it all alone. If that sounds familiar, I am here to walk with you through your journey. You deserve support. My communication style My communication style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth—I meet you where you are, and we move forward together. Whether we’re untangling stress, exploring patterns, or just making space for what you’re carrying, you’ll be heard without judgment.
