Getting to know Gina Gaston

Hi, I'm Gina! Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed from time to time? Balancing the demands of life, family, and work can be challenging. I have a PhD and a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am a highly trained therapist with experience helping people recover and achieve their personal and professional goals. My approach is filtered through a diverse lens that views all clients as having the ability to work through challenges. Sometimes all you need is a little help to move forward. Building upon your strengths and past coping mechanisms will help you develop better ways of managing stress and conflict. There are many interventions such as meditation, cognitive behavioral, family systems, and solution-focused therapy that can be used to tackle the issues affecting your emotional well-being. I know seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making the right decision. Contact me today so we can discuss how therapy can help you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions with meaningful connections to interventions that can help provide lifelong healing. Treatment is tailored to meet the needs of each client.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Initially I was against starting therapy again but the sessions have proved as well as enjoyable.
