Greetings! I’m Andrew, a Licensed Associate Counselor under the direct supervision of Terri Roman. I have had the privilege of taking on several different career paths, which began after receiving my bachelor’s degree in finance from Southern Methodist University (‘02). I have held several roles in a variety of fields and have lived all over the United States in both big cities (New York, San Francisco, Dallas) and smaller communities (Topeka, KS., Alliance, NE.). The diversity of my work and living situations have been a true gift providing me with several useful insights into life and how best to overcome the inevitable pitfalls we all encounter. After spending several years as a freight conductor on the railroad I came to realize I was ready to grow in a different direction. Having grown up in St. Louis, MO. I chose to complete my Master of Arts in counseling at Covenant Theological Seminary.
This crazy and challenging time we find ourselves in may seem overwhelming and too much at times. Life is not often fair and comes complete with complex issues. I desire to hear your story and come alongside you to develop the skills necessary to overcome adversity in your life. I have experience working with those grappling with trauma, grief, substance abuse / addiction, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, and I have a huge heart for those currently going through career and life transitions. I believe in the relational nature each of us possesses and enjoy helping others discover their own talents and how to better utilize them. To assist my clients in meeting their goals, I employ psychological assessments and depending on the situation different clinical interventions. I have found success with clients using cognitive behavioral therapy along with narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, internal family systems, and person-centered approaches. I look forward to hearing about your journey.

Hello, my name is Benjamin John, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor-T under the direct supervision of Terri Roman (LPC).
There are times in our lives when we experience overwhelming distress such as anxiety, depression, or grief. Often it feels as though we have lost control, leaving us confused or lost. You are not alone! By developing a therapeutic relationship based on empathy and nonjudgement, we can work together to overcome the difficult experiences in life.
I believe strongly that different perspectives have their own unique benefits. Which is why throughout my training I’ve grown increasingly toward an eclectic approach, inspired by psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, and narrative therapy. It is my goal to apply these concepts to help you to reconcile with past trauma, live more in the present, and have hope for the future. I am eager to meet you! I accept Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna PPO insurances, and/or private pay clients.
I am deeply compassionate towards those in pain and find immense fulfillment in witnessing individuals embrace lives filled with joy and purpose. Sharing joy is a profound expression of our humanity. While the road to healing may be challenging, it also holds countless transformative moments of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and personal and relational growth. As a counselor, my mission is to walk alongside my clients on their path towards reclaiming joy and fulfillment, supporting them every step of the way.
My work focuses on aiding adults, teenagers, and children grappling with personal or relational challenges. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved traumas, or navigating through a period of uncertainty, I'm here to guide you through your healing process. Together, we'll delve into your life's difficulties, uncover their roots, and equip you with tools, insights, and clear direction to alleviate symptoms and find hope. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Family Therapy, I approach therapy through a Family Systems and Attachment framework, fostering an understanding of tools within the broader context of self and relational connections.
I am able to accept Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna PPO insurances, and/or private pay clients.
My name is Ben, and I am Licensed Associate Counselor working under the direct supervision of Terri Roman. My academic journey has led me to complete my bachelor’s degree in psychology and Master of Counseling from the University of Phoenix. Before this, I was in the United States Army for 9 years. I have learned many important lessons from while serving, during and after my active-duty status. Every single one of these moments helped shape who I am today, and I have learned to respect the journey and trust in myself. It was needed for me to learn from my experiences to become better, instead of criticizing my choices and becoming bitter.
This little explanation is just a small portion of what I like to do with my clients. I feel like examining the positives instead of condemning the negatives is a positive path to healing. I listen attentively and hear what they are saying about themselves and what it is they want to be. Sometimes, connecting these dots can be tough because finding the error in our thinking formula could take a while. With time, understanding, and guidance, I would like to work with you, on this journey, to discover your authentic self.
I have found great success with the approaches of CBT, Humanistic, Mindfulness-Based and Existential. The reason for this is because we are in our own heads all the time. We are in our heads or distracted a large portion of the day and sometimes, we forget about the importance of who we are or the amazing things we have done. That’s what I am here, to assist and help when a person finds themselves going against themselves.
I am able to accept Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna PPO insurances, and/or private pay clients.

Greetings! It's a pleasure to virtually connect with you and extend a warm welcome! My name is Sky LeMans and I have my Master's in Clinical Counseling. I'm excited to have started as an intern at Gilbert Counselors and look forward to growing with the team!
A little about my background: I was born and raised in Arizona. I am passionate to both my family and my many animals. I'm genuinely passionate about traveling and exploring new places. Traveling fuels my personal growth and allows me to see the world from different perspectives. My philosophy is simple—just as you would seek a doctor's help for a physical ailment, why not seek the assistance of a counselor to fortify your mental well-being?
My commitment revolves around creating a welcoming and secure space where you can openly express your true self, discuss your aspirations, and equip yourself with the tools needed to enhance your day-to-day life. Together, my aim is to collaboratively identify areas for personal growth and diligently work towards achieving your goals. I work with clients of all backgrounds and cultures. We all face unique challenges, and recognizing the importance of seeking support is a testament to your strength. Always remember, your strength and bravery surpass your awareness! I look forward to meeting you soon!
I am able to accept clients with Aetna, BCBS, and Cigna PPO insurance or private pay.
Hi there! I am an associate counselor (LAC-T). I earned my Bachelor's degree in Public Relations with minors in Business and Philosophy from Central Washington University. Following that, I pursued my Graduate degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
During my time in graduate school, I delved into the complexities of hook-up culture on college campuses through my thesis work. I deconstructed the social cues and negative mental health impacts that this culture has on people's romantic lives. It's apparent that hookup culture can often feel compulsory and unsatisfying, sometimes leading to dating habits that hinder the search for a committed, long-term partner. I can assist you in comprehending and navigating the ambiguous, unspoken expectations and rules of the current dating climate, empowering you to assert your preferences, expectations, and goals while navigating the dating scene.
In my professional journey, I've previously worked at Consejo Counseling, where I provided therapy to children, teenagers, and adults struggling with difficult life transitions, family separation, depression, anxiety, and grief. I've also had the privilege of working at a homeless shelter for young adults who were dealing with addiction, PTSD, and incarceration. In my practice, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, and analytical psychology, to promote positivity, change, and acceptance in my clients' lives. I'm known for my warm, fun, lively, and sensible approach, which helps establish a strong connection with my clients and assists them in setting and achieving their goals on the path to healing.
