Getting to know Josephine Gildersleeve

My name is H. Josephine Gildersleeve, and I am licensed in California as a Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Los Angeles. I am a trauma-informed psychodynamic therapist who approaches life and meaning-making from a relational mindset. I specialize in creating a supportive and exploratory space for individuals seeking to understand the underlying dynamics of their thoughts and emotions. With a focus on fostering self-awareness and personal growth, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges related to relationships, trauma, and life transitions. I believe the process toward insight and actualization happens through active exploration of experiences and the dynamic between the self and others. This dynamic extends to relationships formed in the past, present, and future, and exists in all life domains, including relationships with friends, family, as well as with things that sustain us, such as money, food, and housing. My approach I often draw upon experiential theories like Gestalt and Existential therapy; however, I tend to be integrative, incorporating behavioral-based theories such as CBT, DBT, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), along with postmodern techniques like SFT (Solution Focused Therapy). I frequently incorporate mindfulness-based techniques into sessions. These approaches are always centered around collaborative exploration of the self, emphasizing strength and resilience, and allow for a flexible and personalized therapeutic process that respects the diversity of individual experiences. My focus My therapeutic approach is well-suited for those encountering barriers in their wellness journey or seeking deeper understanding of the self. I work well with individuals who are creative and passionate about learning and growth. I see my clients as experts in their own lives who may benefit from an external perspective.
