Getting to know Gwendolyn Coker
Yes! You already took the first step by reading this, so let's take the rest together. I get it-you may have been dealing with life, and all of its problems, alone. It's stressful, and it seems easier to just give up, but before you do, imagine this…
What if I told you that you don't have to experience that anymore? What if I told you that it gets easier and more manageable with a therapist? Would that change your mind? Life can be hard, and feeling like you have to handle it all on your own is even harder. We want to feel heard, understood, and supported, but sometimes people just don't understand. People may recommend therapy as an option, but usually that is met with, “But there's nothing wrong with me.” I always say that when someone seeks therapy, it doesn't mean something is wrong with them; it means they are dedicated to making sure nothing goes wrong.
Going through therapy can be overwhelming at times, but with the right support and an open mind, therapy can be a very rewarding experience toward peace of mind and an improved quality of life. The best part about therapy is that YOU are in control! It is a journey that we will take together, with you in the driver's seat and me guiding you from the passenger side-maybe choosing an awesome playlist from time to time! (As you can see, I like to add a little humor.)
I hold an MAEd in Professional School Counseling from the University of North Carolina, which has equipped me with the skills to support you effectively. I hope that once we develop a trusting relationship, we can work together to address some of your concerns and goals for the future. You made it this far-why not see if we're a good match?
What should a new client know about working with you?
With each session, I try to be my most authentic self because that is key to developing a trusting and therapeutic relationship. This is also a judgment-free zone. I want this to be a safe space for you and your thoughts and feelings. Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy, and if you don’t know, that's OK! As we progress, it will be made clear how we both made it to this point. From that point, we will explore different areas that you want to improve in and create goals toward treatment and healing!

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.
