Gus Culbertson, LCSW

I believe that when we take an intentional look at the perspectives we hold about ourselves and the world around us, then make this into a practice, it can allow us to lean into our most authentic and balanced selves. I have years of experience supporting the unique challenges faced by caregivers, young adults, medical and health science students & professionals, LGBTQIA+, and front-line workers. I also work with individuals navigating life transitions, unhelpful self-expectations, procrastination, people-pleasing tendencies, grief, depression, anxiety, identity struggles and psychedelic integration. Many of those I work with want to learn how to engage intentionally with the range of emotions, communicate effectively with others, decrease stress, incorporate mindful/spiritual practices, cultivate a sense of choice, and explore differing perspectives. I am a firm believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. My approach is tailored to you and is rooted in a values-based, emotion-focused, and mindful practice. If you are ready to begin this journey, please contact me for a free consultation. I initially work with clients to outline your goals in care to see if we might be a good fit to work together in individual therapy. If we are, I look forward to working together to help you recognize your strengths, build resilience, and cultivate authenticity to find the fulfillment you deserve. If, for whatever reason we are not, I can support you in finding the right fit through my services as a care manager. This is of note if you would like assistance in finding a therapist who is in-network with your insurance. My services as a care manager can also support enrolling in insurance, connecting to varying levels of care, navigating health systems/health equity, and locating resources that support holistic wellness. Please also let me know if you are interested in plant medicine/integrative work. I have studied, and engaged with, psilocybin-assisted practices for over a decade and am passionate about exploring alternative pathways for wellbeing.
