"Empowering Your Mental Health Journey With Integrated Care"

Paxton Rowley, LLC | Chief Operating Officer

Hello, my name is Paxton Rowley, and I serve as the Chief Operating Officer of our organization. In addition to overseeing daily operations and supporting our clinical team, I also provide therapy services within the practice.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Converse College and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Spring Arbor University. I have over three years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum and have supported individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, as well as clients navigating a wide range of emotional and personal challenges.

As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard and understood. My clinical background directly informs my leadership approach, allowing me to ensure that our organization remains rooted in compassion, inclusivity, and high-quality care.

Whether working with clients directly or supporting our team behind the scenes, my goal is to foster an environment where meaningful growth and lasting mental wellness can flourish. 

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."  -Albus Dumbledore

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"
