Getting to know Gwen Bodnaruk
Welcome and hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, but I want to stress that the most important person in our relationship is YOU! My name is Gwen Bodnaruk. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a School Certified Counselor, and a Life Coach. I used to be a financial executive on Wall Street but found my work unfulfilling. Through counseling and coaching, I discovered my true passion and calling: helping people. I started a life coaching business and earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Holy Family University.
Living abroad and learning to communicate in other languages have been instrumental in shaping my worldview and values. My greatest treasure in life is my circle of friends, made up of people from diverse races, religions, and walks of life. For fun, I enjoy new experiences—I love exploring new places and meeting new people. I got married later in life and am the mother to a dog and a cat. I also volunteer at our local animal shelter and am an active participant in our church. I look forward to working with you.

With six years of experience and board certification, I stand ready to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I serve.

What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to my patients, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring my approach to suit them individually. I believe in quality over quantity, ensuring that each person receives the attention and care they deserve.
I take immense pride in empowering my clients to overcome their anxiety, strengthen their relationships, and achieve mental wellness. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a focus on anxiety, ADHD, and drug addiction, I bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to my practice, supporting individuals in their journey towards a healthier and happier life."
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.
