Gayle Helgeson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor previously based out of Prescott, Arizona and now out of Fargo, North Dakota and working with Arizona clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adult individuals and specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and postpartum depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment Therapy to help clients understand and process past and current trauma and issues to work towards healing and gain a better sense of self.

My approach to therapy is to meet clients where they are at and help guide them through the therapy journey. I use Psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Somatic Therapy to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns and learn new skills to improve quality of life.

The first session will be getting to know each other, building trust and rapport, and actively listening to the client to understand concerns, issues, and what led them to seek help with therapy. I listen without judgment and provide time and space to share emotions as well as work together to make an individual plan toward the healing process.
