Specialties
Gil Shepard MFT has over 30 years experience treating families and individuals who hurt. Many people have had very painful emotional and relationship problems. Divorce, trauma; rape, childhood molestation, natural disasters, violence, childhood neglect, divorce, violence in the family and substance abuse in a family all leave their effects. These effects are often called «mental disorders» such as anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, depression, low self esteem, anger problems, and addictions of all kinds. Gil just sees them as indications you have been hurt. He uses a broad range of skills including EMDR, EFT and Hypnosis to rapidly ease the stress you feel and resolve the effects of abuse and to resolve conflict. Toxic medication is usually not necessary because these non-toxic ways are often faster and much safer. Gil has a spiritual background that includes Western and Eastern Spirituality. You can feel secure in his careful concern and skilled caring for you.
Meet the Business Owner
Gil S.
Business Owner
I am the father of three children and that has given me a lot of experiences that I use in my practice. One child was adopted from a very poor foreign orphanage where abuse occurred. That child is now grown, and recovered. But it wasn’t easy for any of us. I have developed personally because of my own difficult life experiences, including divorce. I have personally experienced hardships, pain, grief and disappointments. But I treasure the learning and experience I have gained for this direct learning has helped me become a much better person. There is nothing like difficulties to test anyone. Being tested can increase wisdom. I like to help you survive and grow through life’s hardships to be better as a person. Luke Skywalker would never have become the hero he became without Darth Vader. Many fairy tales have the same theme. Life seems to present us with as much as we can handle so we are forced to grow. And I find therapy provides the support needed to live through it and grow.
