Getting to know Dr. Kaley Gerstley

Therapy is an incredible gift that can help with gaining greater understanding of past experiences, improving relationships, and feeling more fulfilled in life. It is a collaborative process that examines a person's thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to gain self-awareness and foster self-love. I hold a Doctor of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Tulane University, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support clients effectively on their healing journeys.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Most of my clients feel like the work we do together is extremely impactful and transformative, even if it often feels like they are speaking to a trusted friend. Our sessions are client-centered, focused, and structured around the goals that you identify in the beginning of our work together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session with any new client is usually a bit more structured, with the intention of getting to know a bit about you, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. Once the initial intake session is complete, we'll focus our time on addressing the issues that brought you to treatment, and anything else that has come up for you in the time since our last sessions. Connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions will be made, and once these patters are identified we will work together to address them in a way that feels authentic and realistic for you.
