Gale Ann Foster, MSW, LCSW, understands that individuals are doing the best they can at any given moment and possess the desire to improve. She provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment for clients to explore the issues that have led them to seek guidance. Through her compassionate approach, clients learn about the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling them to manage emotions and navigate the distress that life changes can bring. With a focus on mood disorders, coping skills, and self-harming, Gale recognizes that the desire for change is a constant in counseling. Utilizing diverse therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she helps clients identify and replace unhealthy coping styles with healthier, more effective strategies. Gale is dedicated to partnering with each individual to identify their goals and support them on their journey to a healthier, more satisfying life, whether they are preteens, children, teens, adults, or elders.
