"I saw Jerilynn for about a year and a half, and I feel so lucky to have found her when I did. I met with her during a time when my anxiety and self-esteem were major obstacles, and she helped me realize what changes I needed to make in my life. She was compassionate yet objective and provided constructive reminders when I needed them. Her office is warm and inviting, I always felt comfortable. I highly recommend!"

Client Feedback Survey

I have been seeing Jessica P. at Giesken Counseling for the better part of a year now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is wonderful and has helped me immensely as I navigate all the things that come after welcoming a new baby. The office staff are also always friendly as well, and it was very easy to try another counselor (Jessica) when I first started with Giesken after the first person I saw was not a good fit.

"Alexis has helped me so much. Just recently, I've been diagnosed with cancer and divorce, and I totaled my pickup. I enjoy therapy, and she's so down to earth, and that makes it easier to open up. And Mckenzie at the front desk, she's so good at her job, especially being so young, very responsible and thorough."

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!"

“A loved one saw David. David's patient manner and demeanor were a perfect match. Patient /counselor worked together to develop goals, evaluating progress and roadblocks during sessions.
