I am passionate about helping children, children having disabilities, adolescents, couples trying to make it or couples in distress, adults and seniors. Let me help you in breaking patterns of behavior that may cause difficulty in life. I believe in providing the most affirming and safe enviroment free of judgment, awareness and compassion.
​
I am a licensed social worker who knows how the imposter syndrome feels due to excessive time in the field. I grew up in a conservative single parent home; I struggled greatly in school and then became a teacher/principal in my adult years. I will help you develop inner strength and creativity towards dealing with depression, anxiety and overall unhappiness. You will be able to make intentional choices about goals, work, relationships and more.
​
I specialize in LGBTQIA individuals, trauma treatment, psychoanalysis, PTSD, self-esteem, self-defeating behaviors, perfectionism, relationship struggles, and client-centered treatment. Let me help you find peace and increase the joy in your life.

she/hers/her
​
Hello My name is Gwyn Pounds and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
​
I graduated with my Masters from University of Illinois at Chicago Jane Addams School of Social Work and obtained my School Social Work certification from Aurora University.
​
I have experience working with families undergoing trauma of divorce, domestic violence, loss of housing, and mental illness. I have worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with depression, children in Special Education in regards to Autism, Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder, social skills difficulties, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, anger, impulse control, and self-regulation.
​
My approach is to meet where the client is and build a treatment plan based on what they or the family wants to work on. I feel it is important to establish rapport and build the trust as each session unfolds. I have guided individuals and families to learn new coping skills using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Zones of Regulation, play therapy, relaxation, and motivational interviewing.
​
On my spare time you can find me with my family to cook a good meal, going to the movies with my husband, playing the clarinet, drawing with my daughter, gaming with my son or playing with our family dog named Bruno. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you.
