Jeffrey Gatch

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I have been in the mental health field for nearly 30 years, and a therapist for 23 of those years. A Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a Masters in Social Work from Indiana University rounds out my education. I understand the courage it takes to look at a therapist for yourself, and I always keep this in mind. My approach to therapy is to listen to you, to see what kind of help you need, what kind of changes you want to make, and what you need from me. Together we'll find the solutions and the path that will help you reach your goals. So, let's get started!

It is so very important to start therapy from where you feel the focus needs to be. If you are not sure where to start, that is okay, just ask me and we'll talk about it. We will collaborate to find what will treat depressive and anxiety symptoms the best. All of the stress we are under, or life changes can be overwhelming, we will find ways for you to cope and overcome the thoughts and feelings.

During our first session I want to learn about you, your strengths, your concerns, and your support system. I will listen to you and my goal is for you to feel comfortable and free to share. Any questions that you may have about therapy or me, I will do my best to answer. In future sessions we'll talk about a plan for your treatment, and monitor your progress.
