Gail Newman

Welcome to Radiance Mental Health Counseling, PLLC! I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce myself and offer you a glimpse into my journey as a mental health counselor. My name is Gail Newman, and I'm deeply committed to assisting individuals in navigating their mental health and overall well-being.

Education and Background

My educational journey brought me to the University at Albany, where I successfully completed the Mental Health Counseling Program in 2020. This pivotal phase equipped me with a strong foundation in mental health counseling and provided a platform to refine my skills in trauma treatment.

Moreover, my experience spans across working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families, enriching my capacity to offer comprehensive and effective support to diverse clients.

Specialization in Trauma and Beyond

With specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), my expertise is centered around helping individuals effectively cope with traumatic experiences and manage serious mental health concerns. This training has equipped me with valuable tools to address the complex impacts of trauma on mental well-being. I take pride in my role as a versatile generalist practitioner, adept at addressing an array of diverse challenges individuals might seek counseling for. I deeply respect the uniqueness of each person's journey, and my commitment is to provide solutions crafted specifically to meet your individual needs.
