“I love my work very much and can't imagine doing anything else. I focus on your strengths: you do not need to be "fixed," just supported and guided through self-change. Support is crucial. We all want to be happy and not suffer. I have great empathy and admiration for how we handle challenges and persevere.I learn invaluable lessons from my clients' courage, as well as from their so-called "weaknesses." My goal is to work WITH you to develop the skills you need and want for a better, happier life, including healthier relationships. You will not regret it!

I am personable and approachable. You will feel comfortable working with me. I find that humor, when used appropriately, can be very healing. I can help you discover the solution, I don't need to give it to you. Other strengths include empathy, experience, and very solid education and training.

I think my greatest strength is a unique blend of clinical skills and intuition, knowing what someone needs in the moment.I have a specialty in pet bereavement, an area often under-recognized. I have suffered many losses so my grief work comes from a very deep place, not a textbook.”

Dr. Louise Gordon also hosts the following groups:

Women's Grief & Loss Therapy Group
11215 W. 77th St., Shawnee, Kansas
Every Saturday at 10am - 11:30am
$60 - $70 per session

I am in the process of forming a therapy group for women dealing with grief/loss issues. The loss need not be recent or related to any particular event. This will be a process group where issues are discussed openly in a safe & confidential environment, and group members support and engage eachother to facilitate healing. If you are interested, please e-mail me. As soon as I have 5-6 women committed to attending, scheduling details will be put in place. Please state you scheduling preference (day/time). The group will be limited to 6 members due to time/space constraints.
