Ms. Gale H Golden

For over 45 years I have had a busy, gratifying practice working with adults and couples (mixed gender or same gender) to help people sort out life's difficult dilemmas. When choosing a therapist, I believe that a person should expect confidentiality, privacy, respect and, most of all, a professional and competent therapist. Therapy is a collaborative process for the client and therapist. Together we will decide upon the goals of therapy.You are always the expert on you. I will do an initial evaluation and share my diagnostic impressions.

Together we will make a treatment plan that will target the goals we have decided upon. I often suggest reading materials and education about the issues we are working on.With couples, I use structured and collaborative exercises to do at home as well.

I believe you should expect confidentiality, support, validation and a safe, private place within which you can explore your feelings and find solutions to your dilemmas ~ a place to work through problems and heal from trauma.
