Greetings! My name is Georcol Gomillion and I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC). My approach is rooted in non-judgmental openness using eclectic modalities that foster individuality and autonomy.
I specialize in depression, relationship difficulties, career challenges, and anxiety. Twenty-five years of experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds have taught me that building upon my clients' strengths works. We don't just look at what's wrong; we also help you build on what you're doing right. It's possible to find solutions and experience change. I work with most insurance plans,. Please call for a phone consultation or email and move forward in your life.
I believe that creating the life we want requires intention. Counseling is the process of naming what we want and value, identifying the obstacles to creating that life, and then working to address those obstacles so that we can live life to the fullest. Obstacles come in many forms, from past trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and so much more. I have a passion for walking side by side with my clients as they embrace both the past and present so they can step confidently into their future!
I am an associate professional counselor with 7 years of experience providing culturally responsive, compassionate care. I have worked with diverse individuals across many settings, where I have supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity exploration. I use a flexible, client-centered approach that integrates evidence-based practices while honoring each person's lived experience and cultural context. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, sustainable change that aligns with their values and goals.
Have you found yourself constantly apologizing when you have made a misstep, or agreeing to something you do not want to do, or suddenly overcome with anxiety? Or, maybe, you rage at someone because they upset you and then feel guilty afterwards? If so, you have come to the right person. I am a therapist who believes that someone who has a past filled with abuse, neglect, or difficult circumstances has become imprisoned by their past. They have memories deeply engraved in their brains, which have caused adaptive strategies to form in order to survive and be safe. I also believe there is a way out. I can help you learn to reprogram your brain so that you are able to tell the difference between your adaptive reactions and what are thoughtful ones. Also, to find an internal sense of safety that counteracts the effects of an unsafe, unwelcoming hostile world. Thus, to be able to recognize who you really are without needing the previous, adaptive parts to be able to stay safe.
At JCACounseling, we don't do surface-level work. We help clients uncover root patterns, shift what's held them back, and make real change or real growth in their marriage. Our highly trained intake line staff will give you an assessment to help determine the right therapist for you, even if that is not with us. We offer night, weekend, in-person, and virtual counseling in relationship counseling and marriage counseling. At JCACounseling, we believe the right therapist makes all the difference. That's why our team of specialized counselors each bring deep expertise in the populations they serve, not generalists, but dedicated practitioners who have chosen their focus with intention. Give us a call, or schedule a consult to experience the difference of speaking to a real person versus digital matching.
I try to meet people where they are. Therapy can look very different person to person. We reevaluate your needs each session to see if we should modify our goals or process in order to better suite your mental health and overall needs. I try to be proactive and productive but also allow time for things to move at a natural pace. I have 8 years of experience working in a variety of settings and serving a diverse population of clients. I have additional training in trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder issues. I also have a lot of experience with substance use including working at a detox unit and working regularly with clients to achieve their sobriety goals in an outpatient setting. I have spent much of my time practicing individual and couples therapy treating a wide range of issues and that is mostly what I do today.
Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options. My role is to assist you in determining where you are in your relationship; what choices are available for you; which road you want to take. Let me be your guide towards which road to travel. I am also a Divorce Coach and work as a member of the Collaborative Law team of professionals.
My specialty is guiding and counseling couples and families through their life journey. Whether you are a new couple looking for tools to build a solid foundation or a couple in crisis looking for a life raft, I am here for you. If you and your children are transitioning through divorce or are a newly blended family, I help family members heal while finding balance and harmony within the new family structure. Couples counseling is one area of my specialty. I work with couples to help them understand how one another's perspectives, beliefs and life history play roles in the current relationship and assist them in finding a balance that creates harmony. I have many years of experience working with new couples, blended families and couples who have been together for over 20 years who are seeking assistance. With children, play therapy is used to help them resolve issues on their level. Families play an important role in children's healing processes. The interaction between children's problems and their families is always complex. Sometimes children develop problems as a way of signaling that there is something wrong in the family. Other times the entire family becomes distressed because the child's problems are so disruptive. In all cases, children and families heal faster when they work together. I am also a Registered Divorce Mediator, Divorce Coach and Child Specialist in the Collaborative Divorce process as well as in traditionally litigated cases. A Divorce coach is a skilled, licensed mental health professional trained to manage a wide variety of emotions and issues that arise during divorce. Divorce is both an ending and a beginning. I help you anticipate and include your need to move forward, and make the future of your children a top priority. In a respectful, dignified process, I support your family's goals for a smoother transition to the next stage of your lives. I ease the emotional strains of a breakup, and help you understand and work to protect the well-being of your children. Co-Parent counseling is another component of the work I do with divorced families. Since a divorce is 80% emotional and 20% legal, a Divorce Coach can make a tremendous difference in helping your family settle the divorce. I assist you with your grief or resistance to negotiations. I provide support while helping prepare you for negotiations or court and helping prepare you for the future as a single adult. Divorce coaching may continue post divorce, if the issues they are addressing are related to the divorce process.
As a counselor, I believe that working through challenges such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in the present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm, compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.
I am here to support children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am certified as a trauma specialist and a brainspotting practitioner for children, adolescents, and adults. I incorporate a holistic approach, mind-body and spiritual alternative therapies such as meditation groups and meditation and art groups. I value being compassionate and respecting where people are in their journey and creating a safe space for children, adolescents, and adults. I value, appreciate, and respect the gift of neurodiversity as we are meant to honor and accept our differences. I also believe that we all have a "Healing Intelligence" within, moving us toward healing and growth. My role is not to "fix" the client or to tell them what's wrong. Instead, I act as a facilitator, helping the client connect with this powerful inner guide within themselves. I trust the client's process and their ability to access this deep knowing that will guide them towards their own well-being.
