Gina has been an amazing help to me the last few months. In addition to giving me real, actionable ideas to improve my situation, she asks great questions to get me thinking more, checks in periodically when I'm doing well and not in touch much, and has even given me great ideas to deal with our dog's issues! She has been a blessing!
More about Gina

Hi! My name is Gina Bowers. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been working in the field for 30 years. My Counseling degree is from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro.
My work has been with adults and teens, regarding issues of depression, anxiety, stress, LGBT, career changing, ADHD, relationships, divorce, and self-esteem. Sometimes we encounter bumps along the way and my approach is to help you learn how to cope and adjust to them. I was also a Therapeutic Foster parent and worked with children in the Foster Care system. My approach is varied as each person is unique, but tend to use a combination of Behavioral, Mindfulness and Cognitive techniques. I have a laid back and supportive style.
Sometimes we need an unbiased person to share our challenges with and process our thoughts and feelings around these challenging events. I would be honored to be that person for you and help you move toward success in your future goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s wonderful. I like her very much, and I’m glad I have someone I can talk to.
