Counseling for Buckley
Our Amazing Neighbors Over the Bridge
Professional Support Just Across the White River
In Buckley, we value community, hard work, and the rural beauty of the Plateau. But even in a close-knit town, life can feel heavy. Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, the pressures of parenting, or the weight of professional burnout, you don’t have to carry it alone.
I’m Gera McGuire, MA, NCC, LMHC, and I’m proud to serve the Buckley community. I offer flexible telehealth services for those who need support that fits into a busy rural lifestyle, as well as in-person sessions just minutes away in Enumclaw.
A Specialist in Your Backyard
With three decades in the field, I bring a level of specialized training usually found in major cities right here to our corner of Pierce County.
- Grief Specialist: Expert care for those struggling with the "stuck" feeling of Prolonged Grief.
- Family & Couples: Helping Plateau families build stronger, more resilient bonds.
- The Enumclaw "Reset": If you choose to visit me in person, the "commute" from Buckley is a peaceful journey through farmland with Mount Rainier standing front and center. It’s the perfect way to take a dedicated hour for yourself.
Meet Gera (and Josie)
I’m an adoptive mom, an "Oma," and a fellow lover of the outdoors. I believe therapy should be grounded and authentic. When we meet online, you'll likely see my dog, Josie, who helps keep our sessions feeling relaxed and supportive.
Trust Your Care to an Experienced Specialist
When you're looking for a counselor, experience matters. As a Nationally Certified Counselor and a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I bring over three decades of clinical expertise to every session. My background includes intensive training in Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy and a specialty in Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy from the Center for Prolonged Grief in NYC.
Billing & Logistics for Buckley Clients
I handle the insurance billing for you to keep the process simple. I am currently paneled with Premera, Regence, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, First Choice, and Cigna. I provide out-of-network services for Aetna and Kaiser. Whether we meet via telehealth or you make the scenic drive across the White River to my Enumclaw office, my goal is to provide a collaborative and empathetic space for your healing.
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.
