Gayle Hearns-Rogers
My years of working in the behavioral health field have given me the opportunity to learn and share the numerous bio-social techniques, that when applied correctly to any challenges will allow individuals and families to begin or continue on their healthy path of living a stress-free existence. My ability to work with individuals impacted by substance abuse, mental illness, anger, domestic violence, guilt, trust, getting honest with themselves before they address others is another strong skill I utilize. Working with groups and families is a plus especially when there is more than one family member involved with the current challenges. As a group facilitator offering group members the opportunity to learn that they are not alone in their task to improve their lives. There is a “Women’s Self-Esteem “group currently active that meets on Wednesday’s from 6:00-7:00 and we are accepting all women to join and learn how to work on their concerns
