About Gayle

I have a private psychotherapy practice in Cary, NC specializing in working with adult men and women. I welcome men, as well as women, who may be hesitant or uncertain about therapy; I pride myself on offering a comfortable, discreet, and emotionally safe environment for clients.

In addition to clients who come in for individual therapy, I also work with couples offering premarital counseling, couples counseling, communication skills training and divorce or post-relationship counseling. I do not work directly with children or adolescents, though I do work with parents around a variety of parenting issues.

I value diversity and my practice reflects this in sensitivity to racial, cultural, sexual orientation, and/or gender-related issues.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in caring, competent, therapeutic work with adult individuals & couples.

Gayle has a Bachelor's Degree from NC State University in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill. Her credentials include both state licensure and national certification in the field of psychotherapy. She has been a practicing therapist since 1991, in private practice since 1996. Gayle regularly appeared as a guest on WRAL-TV Channel 5 News over a period of 7 years offering parenting advice and expert opinions on various mental health issues. She is one of only a handful of therapists in the Triangle area trained in the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a relatively new therapeutic approach to healing past and recent trauma. Since 2003, she has been utilizing this powerfully healing approach with excellent results.

Beginning in 2008, Gayle joined the Project Access volunteer mental health network. (Project Access serves uninsured, financially disadvantaged men, women and children of Wake County, NC.)

Gayle's specialty is in the caring, compassionate, and competent therapeutic treatment of adult men and women individually and as couples.
