Josephine Gildersleeve

My name is H. Josephine Gildersleeve, and I am licensed in California as a Professional Clinical Counselor. I am a trauma-informed psychodynamic therapist, and approach life and meaning-making from a relational mindset. I specialize in creating a supportive and exploratory space for individuals seeking to understand the underlying dynamics of their thoughts and emotions. With a focus on fostering self-awareness and personal growth, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges related to relationships, trauma, and life transitions. I believe the process of insight and actualization happens in the active exploration of experiences and the dynamic between the self and others. This dynamic extends to relationships formed in the past, present, and future, and exists in all life domains, including relationships with friends, and family, as well as with things that sustain us, such as money, food, and housing.
