Gray Tomalavage, LCMHC, NCC

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Communication, respect, and empathy are of utmost importance in any relationship, but most of all, the therapeutic relationship. In order to be vulnerable and allow change to happen, we must be non judgmental, open, and honest. As your counselor, I will provide an environment in which you can feel safe to be yourself and work through any uncomfortable or difficult issues that may arise. The goal is not only to be able to solve our day to day problems, but to be able to cope with whatever big challenges may lie ahead. My approach is holistic in nature so that we may work together toward improved mental health and overall wellness.

Professional Experience

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both in-home and private practice settings. I enjoy working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship/familial issues, self-esteem, transitions, behavioral issues, and mood dysregulation. I feel passionately about helping young adults, LGBTQ+, and those seeking a deeper connection to their lives. In addition to counseling, I am also a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher.
