Ms. Gail provides genuinely helpful counseling and is accommodating with scheduling, but reliability and punctuality with appointments can be inconsistent.

  • Flexible with payments and willing to work around your schedule
  • Practical skills and tools you can use daily
  • Professional and thorough with follow-up programs like SAP
  • Ms. Venerable was late to first appointment and poor communication about delay
  • Disrespectful of client time despite scheduled appointment

About

"Venerable Counseling Services, LLC" is committed to providing affordable services and teaching coping skills that will enable an individual to change by having a caring and listening ear. We believe that learning to manage one's maladaptive expressions of behavior is essential in order to engage in a healthy lifestyle.

Our approach to counseling is to address the unique needs of an individual and help maximize results with a caring and listening ear and by using a variety of approaches. I work with an individual to take advantage of their strengths while overcoming their weaknesses. Even though bad things happen to people that may have a profound impact on his or her life, it is perfectly normal to seek professional help in sorting out the issues that may paralyze his or her mind and stop him or her from moving forward.
