Gerreka Gilliam

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California and Texas) with a background in clinical psychology and experience working with individuals across diverse communities.

I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals in building self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries, and creating meaningful change in their lives.

My work is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and authenticity. I strive to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs and goals. Outside of therapy, I value connection, balance, and enjoying life whether that’s traveling, staying active, or spending time with loved ones.

My approach is both direct and empathetic, grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches.

I believe in helping clients develop healthy coping strategies, set clear boundaries, and prioritize their overall well-being. Therapy with me is collaborative we work together to increase self-awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and begin discussing practical tools to support you. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered from the very beginning.
