Hello my name is Alyssa and I am a clinical intern at Gilbert Counselors under the supervision of Terri Roman (LPC). I received my undergraduate degree in psychological sciences from Purdue University and am currently a graduate student at Northern Arizona University in clinical mental health counseling.

A little about me: I was born and raised in the Midwest and have been living in Arizona for a few years now. I love to be active in any way that I can and value time spent focusing on the mind-body connection.

Hello, my name is Gabrielle, and I am a clinical intern at Gilbert Counselors under the supervision of Terri Roman (LPC). I earned my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Business from Arizona State University and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Counseling at the University of Phoenix. My blend of education gives me a unique perspective when working with clients to help them navigate through life's challenges.

A little about me: I am a proud Arizona native and feel very fortunate to call Gilbert my home. When I’m not working or studying, I love exploring new restaurants, playing with my Australian Shepherd, and spending time with my friends and family.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where individuals feel encouraged to explore personal growth. I strive to provide a warm and welcoming space where clients can develop new skills, build resilience, and gain the confidence needed to navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

Hi, my name is Jessica Smith, and I am a clinical intern at Gilbert Counselors under the supervision of Terri Roman, LPC. I am currently completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University.

For the past ten years, I’ve worked as a certified educator in Arizona, teaching mental health education to both teachers and students. That experience, along with my certifications as a mindfulness coach and yoga instructor, has strengthened my passion for the mind-body connection and holistic approaches to healing.

I’m also a mom of four children, ranging in age from 12 to 21, which gives me a personal understanding of the ups and downs families face. I enjoy working with children, teens, and families around concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and trauma. I also have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals as they learn to navigate the unique differences that accompany their brains.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can build resilience through somatic integration and gain a deeper awareness of how unconscious patterns may be holding them back—while learning to navigate the ebb and flow of life with practical regulation tools and a sense of empowerment.

My name is Kelsea. I am a clinical intern at Gilbert Counselors under the supervision of Terri Roman (LPC). I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Counseling from Southwestern Christian University. I am currently pursuing a dual Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Colorado Christian University.

A little about me: I am originally from Oklahoma and moved to Arizona in 2022 with my husband and 3 huskies. In my free time, I love to travel, experience new places, spend quality time with my family and friends, and read a good book.

As your counselor, I value connection, collaboration, and empathy in the counseling process. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life and that therapy should be a tool that empowers them to heal and achieve their therapeutic goals. I believe that every client enters therapy with a unique story, experiences, and strengths. Throughout the counseling process, I want to support my clients and walk with them as they grow. Part of that journey is assisting clients in discovering how their story, experiences, and strengths can be harnessed to achieve their goals and live the life they want to live.
