Mary Gaskill

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor w/ 25+ years of experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and trauma. I specialize in working with any adults of any age seeking to benefit from therapy as a tool for self-reflection, action, & meaningful change. I also specialize in working with those going through life transitions, grief, & anyone seeking an holistic, client-centered, & affirming approach. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what hurts, and uncover what’s possible beyond the pain. You deserve support that helps you come home to yourself.

From the moment we meet, you will hopefully feel relaxed, welcomed, and safe in a non-judgemental & open setting. The intention is for you to feel heard & validated at a deeper level for your struggles & experiences. Then, we will collaborate on the passage of helping you to feel better, in whatever way that means for you. My background is based in depth psychology and psychodynamic traditions, and my style is humanistic & person-centered. While we explore how your emotions and experiences may have taproots in the past, we will also focus on offering you real-life tools you can use to bring relief and hope back to your life in the present moment. Adults and Individuals only.

My office in Blacksburg is warm, inviting, and cozy. Whether we are together in person or meeting virtually, my hope is that regardless of what you bring to our time together, you will leave with a greater sense of knowing yourself, your patterns, and that you will have some tools to put into place in your daily life to notice a meaningful shift in how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and your experience.
