OUR TEAM

BERNADETTE GAUMER

OWNER, LCSW

My name is Bernadette Gaumer. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, friend, and PA therapist. I have had many trials in my life, but, they aided me in who I have become and have developed me into someone who is empathetic and sparked a desire in me to help others to free themselves from being held hostage from negativity, fear, and shame. I have learned over the course of my career, I have compassion for all human beings.

It is my passion in life to help others achieve the life they always wanted to have, even in the face of adversity. Integrating my education, life experience, and my desire to use my life in a way that brings comfort to others when they need clarification with life issues, is what I strive to do.

I am committed to helping my clients to achieve THEIR goals.

In addition to being a relationship therapist, I have presented at an Eastern Regional Conference regarding the topic of Teamwork. I have been the featured speaker to teach several life skills topics such as Effective Communication, Team Building, and The Power of Positive Thinking and Sensitivity Training. I understand that forgiveness is a deeply personal decision and that there are some situations where individuals do not feel forgiveness is an option. Respecting everyone's own position on forgiveness is my position, however, I want to explore this topic deeply in the hopes that I can help others reframe some of the pain that makes it difficult to forgive.

I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support with compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
To the core of my being, I know change is possible when the person is ready. I would be honored to work with you or your family members to achieve the life you want.
