Getting to know Lea Gill
I wanted to pursue a career as a therapist because I had a desire to help people create lasting and fulfilling relationships, contributing to a healthier quality of life. Earning my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University equipped me to make a meaningful difference in people's lives by helping them cope in healthier ways with their mental health issues and life's challenges. It is incredibly rewarding to support my clients as they work toward achieving their goals in therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
It is very important to me that I provide each of my clients with a personalized experience where they feel safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Throughout the therapeutic process I make it my goal that my clients feel valued and understood by using active listening skills, validation, and reflective listening techniques. The client-therapist relationship is very unique and I feel honored and grateful that my clients allow me to come along with them on their journey toward improving their mental and emotional well being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The quality of the client-therapist relationship in therapy is essential for a positive outcome. It is always my number one priority to build a strong foundation with my clients through building trust and creating a therapeutic alliance with them. By establishing rapport, being authentic, and being able to genuinely understand and share in my clients' experiences and feelings are crucial for creating a safe place for my clients to achieve personal growth and positive change.
