Hello and welcome! My name is Caroline Gilchrist and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Walnut Creek, California. I am passionate about creating a collaborative, supportive relationship with my clients to empower them to reach their goals and live a genuine, fulfilling life. I believe that people have the internal strengths to positively make change in their lives and I strive to support my clients in identifying and growing their strengths. My goal is for clients to feel heard, understood, and empowered through their journey in therapy. My therapy style is warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental. I believe that everyone is the expert on their own life and experiences and that self-understanding is at the root of positive change. Within sessions, I will ask you to be honest, vulnerable, and to be willing to challenge yourself. My role is not to give advice or answers, but to create space for you to explore yourself and develop deeper insights into what you already know. I strive to create a safe place that allows for self exploration, vulnerability, and personal growth. I specialize in working with relationships issues, self esteem, anxiety, depression, supporting individuals through challenging life changes, stress management, coping skills, attachment issues, and working with young clients and their families. I am currently accepting new clients virtually anywhere in California. I am an out of network, private pay provider who does not accept insurance at this time. I am happy to provide a superbill should a client choose to be reimbursed through insurance. Please inquire regarding sliding scale/reduced fee options. I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone consultation to further discuss my services and my therapy approach. Please contact me by phone or email to schedule a time to talk. I look forward to speaking with you!
