An ideal client seeks change, guidance, and is willing to take the steps in healing. My purpose is to treat the root of the problem and not the symptoms, as healing begins from within. As a former educator, I take my expertise working with individuals based on their individual needs. Currently, as a Middle School Counselor, I seek to understand the overall being, awareness, and who they are becoming. Together, we will focus on the importance of past experiences on present issues in order to evoke awareness, healing, and perseverance. As an eclectic counselor, I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Couples therapy. I work with a variety of issues from anxiety, self-esteem, depression, anger management, personal growth, social skills, conflict resolution, behavior modification, grief, self-harm, suicide, adjustment, marital conflict, and family problems. I find fulfillment in helping others triumph over troubles and believe that healing happens within the context of relationships. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment that encourages clients to gain awareness of themselves. I am passionate about meeting people where they are and that all people have it within themselves to change! Gladys Hollis provides consultations primarily in English.
