Gail Winsey

Gail Winsey welcomes an initial conversation as the first step toward addressing whatever feels most pressing in a person’s life. With 23 years of clinical experience, she practices as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credentialed to work in Louisiana and focuses on building a collaborative relationship with each client.

She views therapy as a team effort in which the client and therapist come to understand one another, clarify current difficulties, set goals for a better life, and work methodically toward those goals. Gail draws on a cognitive-behavioral orientation to examine patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems and to develop practical strategies for change. She provides care in individual and family formats and meets with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Over the course of her career she has developed a clinical skill set that supports multimodal approaches, integrating individual, couples, family, and group work when appropriate. Her experience comes from roles in residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, mental health rehabilitation agencies, and public and charter school systems. Gail remains committed to serving her community and aims to help people mend emotional wounds and learn coping skills that allow them to face their truths and move forward.
