Gina Great M.S.
Child and Adolescent Counselor
Gina Great has a passion to educate, encourage, and provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to heal, overcome obstacles, and increase self-worth. From having kids later in life, compiled with her Army experience, Gina saw firsthand that caregivers, teachers, and mentors influence the development of our personality, resiliency, and confidence. Kids, teens, and parents face busy days comprised of school, extracurriculars, and family events. As a distraction, kids and parents turn to video games and social media to escape. While these tools are a fun outlet, they do not allow for human input. After being deployed and away from family, Gina learned to encounter challenges by reaching out to an unbiased counselor or confidant who had wisdom, a diverse background, and a gift for helping. Through her experiences, education, and military experience, Gina believes she can empower the community's children, teens, and adults to live successful, productive lives.
Gina has her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Columbus State University and is currently pursuing a post graduate certificate in school counseling. Gina is also a Certified Master Resilience Trainer and Sexual Harassment and Response Coordinator for the Army.
Gina has experience with Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic Techniques and specializes in Child-Centered Play Therapy, military families, and trauma. Gina works with clients across the developmental life span dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bullying, stress, academic concerns, and family relationships.
During her free time, Gina enjoys running, exploring different parks, and spending time with her family.
Gina is under the clinical supervision of Jill Osbourne, LPC and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S).
