Holly Gilbert

Warmth and acceptance define the therapeutic approach of Holly Gilbert, a founding partner at Gestalt Columbus. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S), Holly brings a deep passion for helping individuals reclaim all parts of themselves through the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship.

Holly's journey in mental health began with her graduate training at prestigious institutions - Columbia University and Wheaton College. This robust educational foundation, combined with her Gestalt training, has shaped her into a therapist who believes strongly in the importance of creating a nonjudgmental and accepting environment for her clients. This approach is integral to her counseling process, allowing individuals to feel safe as they work towards becoming more integrated persons.

At Gestalt Columbus, Holly offers a range of psychotherapy services, working with children, individuals, and families. Her practice is rooted in Gestalt therapy, a holistic and experiential approach that focuses on present moments and personal responsibility. This methodology aligns perfectly with Holly's belief in the power of self-awareness and the importance of understanding oneself in the context of one's environment.

As a founding partner of Gestalt Columbus, established in 2018, Holly has been instrumental in shaping the practice's commitment to providing comprehensive, innovative, and effective mental health support. The practice offers not only individual therapy but also couples counseling, family therapy, and specialized services for children and adolescents. Holly's expertise contributes to the practice's ability to address a wide range of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to more complex family dynamics.

Clients working with Holly can expect a personable and warm demeanor, coupled with a professional approach that draws from evidence-based practices. Her ultimate goal is to guide individuals towards reclaiming all aspects of themselves, fostering personal growth, and achieving a more integrated sense of self. Through her work, Holly continues to embody the Gestalt Columbus mission of providing innovative and effective mental health support to the Columbus community.
