Getting to know George Gifford

Greetings, I am an 11 year Marine Corps veteran (2003 to 2014), experienced in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My main approach is person centered with a spattering of CBT, ACT, and REBT. Feel free to chat with me a bit and see if we work well together. I completed my master's in mental health counseling at Cambridge College in 2022, worked in a psychiatric hospital in a dual diagnosis role from 2022 to 2023, and moved on to community mental health where I worked as an outpatient clinician from 2023 to 2024, earning my licensure in December of that year.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have worked with a multitude of mental health needs. What I have found most helpful as a therapist is to get to know the person sitting with me in their moment of need. No matter how complex that need is, that is still a person sitting with me. I am here to help you on your journey. I can't walk for you, but I will walk with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

First, I want to welcome you as a person. A living and thinking human being. We will become acquainted and then discuss what brings you into therapy. From there, we will together work toward making a better you.
