Mariahn Gillian MA LLP (Limited Licensed Psychologist)


I am a therapist who believes that people can be helped to identify and heal from the pain in their life. Through my 30 years of experience as a therapist I have found that it's not often what happens to us in life that determines our experience, it's how we respond to what happens. I help people to identify life patterns and ways of thinking that effect their experiences. Through the use of cognitive, psychological and experiential techniques I help them to learn more effective responses. My career has included work as a crisis counselor, a facilitator of groups, a resource advisor for retirement programs, and a leader in Youth Ministry. I am a therapist both as a profession and as a calling. I believe that God wants us to experience compassion and understanding in our lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to play my part in creating this experience for others.



In my life I have been given the opportunity to grow through my various experiences by working with the techniques I utilize as a therapist. Since I have been blessed with this gift it is my desire to make this available to others. Not only do I do this through my therapy with individuals and couples, but also through writing articles for the newspaper and giving presentations on topics including Depression, Anxiety, Stress Management, Life Transitions, Anger Management and Relationship Issues.
