Gail Newman

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a strong foundation in generalist psychotherapy and a deep focus on trauma-informed care. I earned my degree from the University at Albany’s Mental Health Counseling Program and completed my clinical internship at PROS RSS, where I gained extensive experience supporting individuals navigating trauma and complex mental health challenges. While I specialize in trauma, I welcome clients facing a broad range of concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor each session to your unique needs, values, and goals—recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. You can expect to be met with warmth, respect, and genuine care. I see you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms, and I work to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, or emotional struggles, my goal is to help you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life—on your own terms.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, engaged, and supportive experience in our work together. My style is active and collaborative—I'll meet you with compassion and honesty, offering both encouragement and gentle challenges when helpful. Together, we'll explore your goals, identify what’s getting in the way, and develop practical strategies to support meaningful growth. You’ll leave sessions with deeper insight, tools you can use in daily life, and a stronger sense of direction as you move toward feeling more grounded, fulfilled, and emotionally well.
