Jerry M. Wanitschek-Gilmer, MS, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Christian counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, fear, trauma, anger, and more. As I often remind my clients, “You are likely smarter, stronger, and more capable than you think.”
My services include support with coping skill development, couples and family counseling, parenting guidance, spiritual discernment, addiction counseling, and the processing of religious trauma. Together, we work to establish grounding in your chosen values and identity—empowering you to define yourself on your own terms, set healthy boundaries, and pursue meaningful goals.
I bring experience working with juvenile justice populations, CPS-involved families, and individuals impacted by religious trauma. My therapeutic approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and principles of neuropsychology. For those seeking a faith-based approach, I also offer pastoral counseling, drawing from my background as a former ordained minister.
My goal is to create a supportive, growth-oriented environment where individuals, couples, and families can find healing and move forward with confidence.
