Getting to know Gayle Samples

Hi there, I'm Gayle! My name is Gayle Samples. I am dually licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Regent University. My approach to therapy is holistic because I believe we are created by body, mind, and spirit. I understand that finding the right therapist can be challenging, especially for those who identify as Christian and want their beliefs and values respected and incorporated into counseling. My approach I work from a holistic perspective and use a variety of approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy (CBT), Existential, Christian Counseling, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jungian, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, and Person-Centered therapies. My focus My specialty is integrating faith into the therapeutic process. I primarily work with adults, and those who enjoy our work together are usually clients seeking faith integration in therapy. My communication style I am warm and relaxed, with a sense of humor. Most clients find me receptive and nonjudgmental. My work involves coming alongside you as we explore who God made you to be and identify obstacles that may be preventing you from fully embracing yourself as made in the Image of God during this season of your life. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I know how hard it is to find someone who shares your values. Having gone through my own journey, I understand the need for connection. I truly enjoy helping people discover who God created them to be and letting go of "perfectionistic" ideas. My goals for you Goal setting is collaborative. You are the expert in your life. My role is to help you figure out how you want to live and find a way to get there.
