My name is Loma Gulley, LPC. I am licensed in my home state of Virginia. I have been in the mental health field for nearly 8 years. My preference is working with individuals, face to face in the office setting, virtually upon limited requests. I always provide an empathetic, warm, judgement-free space with a genuine drive to support individuals to be their healthiest self. My background includes inpatient and outpatient services, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression and life stage adjustments. I lean towards psychodynamic therapy which focuses on unconscious patterns, past experiences and relationships. I recognize the strength it takes to reach out for support and look forward to being a partner in your personal journey. Lets sit back and get comfortable while processing your life, work, dreams, obstacles and future. Although I work with adults of all ages, my focus has been 25 years and older.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The counseling process will look different for everyone. You can expect to be treated in an empathetic, supportive, non-judgement, safe environment with person-centered care. Expect genuine feedback, gentle challenging, and some humor. No one knows what you need better than you and together we will identify tools for achieving your goals. Rest assured, if we find we are not a good match I will ethically assist with providing referral assistance to keep you on your road to success.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psycho-education, Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths are emotional intelligence, consistency and cultural competency. I take pride in assisting clients to dig deeper, move through discomfort at a safe pace and gain insightfulness during the healing journey.
