Gail Winsey

My communication style

To be understood, each should accommodate another in a position of compassion. I make every effort to express my thoughts and feelings confidently and honestly while respecting others. Directness can be appreciated when presenting an objective that can be favorable for everyone.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since Hurricane Katrina, there have been fewer sources offered to those with mental or behavioral issues. I chose a field advocating for the service of the community and offering assets that could help provide for the community. My choice was a personal decision, determined to become a means for change and recovery.

My goals for you

Setting goals would be a team effort based on concerns and what the individual is trying to achieve. Having a thoughtful, purposeful discussion will lay the foundation for developing goals that are personal and attainable. The input for the goals would be mutually accepted by all collaborators and based on trust in fulfillment.

Our first session

The initial session would be for getting acquainted and becoming familiar with our communication styles. We shall explore your issues of concern, along with some suggestions for alternate thinking. Moreover, we will process the goals of the session and your desired outcomes. This can be an informal meeting getting to know each other and the future.
