Counseling for Black Diamond
Modern Support for a Historic Community
High Level Care Right at the Edge of the Gorge
Black Diamond has a unique spirit. It is a town with a blend of deep coal-mining history and a growing community of families who value the quiet beauty of the Pacific North West. Whether you’re near Lake Sawyer or Ten Trails, finding a specialized therapist shouldn't mean a stressful drive into the city.
I’m Gera McGuire, and I provide telehealth counseling tailored for Black Diamond residents. With over 30 years of experience, I offer a space where you can work through life’s challenges, from anxiety and burnout to my specialty in Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), all from the comfort of your own home.
The Best of Both Worlds
While telehealth offers ultimate convenience, my office is just a scenic 15-minute drive away. If you prefer an in-person reset, the drive from Black Diamond to Enumclaw via the Green River Gorge is one of the most beautiful in the state. Many of my clients find that the transition from the historic woods of Black Diamond to the pastoral fields of the Enumclaw Plateau helps them unplug before our session even begins.
A Collaborative Approach
As a "second-generation Minuchin counselor" and a specialist in family systems, I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life with empathy and a touch of humor. Plus, my telehealth co-therapist, Josie (my dog), is always ready to offer a calming presence during our virtual sessions.
Professional Credentials & Insurance
With a career spanning over 30 years, I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, and private practice to help clients navigate life’s most difficult transitions. I hold a Master’s in Counseling and specialized post-graduate training in Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) from Columbia University.
To make care as accessible as possible for the Black Diamond area, I am an in-network provider with:
- Regence / Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Premera & Lifewise
- First Choice Health Network & Cigna
I also provide out-of-network superbills for Aetna and Kaiser. My sessions are available Monday through Saturday, offering flexible times for busy professionals and families.
Let’s Start Talking About YOU
Whether you are a healthcare professional facing burnout, a parent navigating the teenage years, or someone walking the long road of grief, you don't have to do it alone.
