Therapy session

Anxiety Counseling

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, overwhelm, physical tension, or difficulty relaxing. In anxiety counseling, we help you understand your nervous system, build coping tools, and gently reduce the patterns that keep anxiety in control. Our approach is supportive and practical, helping you feel more grounded and confident in daily life.

Depression Counseling

Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and exhausting — making it hard to feel like yourself. Our therapists provide a compassionate space to explore what you’re experiencing while helping you reconnect with hope, motivation, and meaning. Together, we work toward small, steady steps that support emotional healing and renewed energy.

Trauma Therapy & PTSD

Trauma can affect the body, mind, and relationships long after the event has passed. We offer trauma-informed therapy that prioritizes safety, pacing, and nervous system regulation. Our goal is to help you process experiences without becoming overwhelmed, so you can move forward feeling more stable, empowered, and connected.

Couples Counseling

Every relationship experiences challenges, especially during stress, life transitions, or parenting. Couples counseling at Gentle Guardians focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and deepening emotional connection. We help partners understand patterns, feel heard, and create healthier ways of relating to one another.

Therapy for Children & Teens

Children and teens often express emotions through behavior, play, or withdrawal rather than words. Our therapists meet young clients at their developmental level, creating a safe and supportive environment to explore feelings, build emotional skills, and strengthen self-esteem. We also collaborate closely with parents to support growth at home.

Family Therapy 

Family therapy focuses on improving relationships and communication within the family system. Sessions provide a space to address conflict, transitions, or ongoing stressors affecting the family as a whole. We help families strengthen connection, clarify roles, and work toward healthier patterns together.

Gentle Parenting Support 

Gentle parenting support helps caregivers respond to their children with empathy, consistency, and emotional attunement. Therapy focuses on understanding child development, managing parental stress, and setting boundaries without shame or fear-based discipline. Our goal is to support calmer homes and stronger parent-child relationships.

Our Therapeutic Approach 

At Gentle Guardians Counseling, our work is rooted in compassion, attachment, and evidence-based care. We draw from gentle parenting principles, trauma-informed therapy, and developmentally appropriate interventions to support emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, and secure relationships. Our therapists focus on understanding nervous systems, child development, and family dynamics — helping caregivers respond with empathy, consistency, and emotional attunement while reducing stress and shame-based patterns. Our goal is to support calmer homes, stronger relationships, and meaningful, lasting change.
