Hello! I am so glad you stopped by our site! My name is Emily Gilbert. I hope you find what you are looking for to help move forward in your journey towards hope, joy, and quality of life. My approach to therapy is collaborative, meaning we walk through the process together and at your pace. Life can be hard sometimes, but we don’t have to go through it alone. We will focus on developing existing strengths and the capacity to live a meaningful joyful life.

A little about me, I have a husband of 22 years and 3 adult children. We enjoy playing and watching sports and going to the movies or just having movie nights on the couch at home. We are also locals of the beautiful Dade City area. I’m so excited for this opportunity to provide support in my hometown. Please continue exploring the website and feel free to hit the “contact us” button below with any questions. I look forward to getting to know you and experiencing this journey together.
