Adlerian Therapists in West Raleigh, NC

My name is Gail Brooklin Eaves, the president of Brookdell & Beck Counseling Services. I am a licensed professional counselor and a board-certified counselor. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology with a specialization in addictions. I can help you to build your self-esteem, restore self-love, and increase your peace and well-being. Moreover, I can help you to decrease your crying episodes, panic attacks, and anxiety. Let's find a solution together!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Are you experiencing anxiety and/or depression that is getting in the way of living your best life? Are you experiencing a life change? Maybe you just want someone to talk to and assist in communicating with others. Whatever the issue, talking things out and learning new skills can make all the difference.

I believe people can build the lives they want to live by aligning themselves with their values, which may shift with the various seasons of life.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

West Raleigh covers the western side of North Carolina's capital, taking in the North Carolina State University campus, the surrounding student neighborhoods, and established residential areas along Hillsborough Street and Western Boulevard. The area's mental health needs skew toward student and young professional concerns — academic stress, identity development, and life transitions — alongside the family and career pressures of a fast-growing Research Triangle metro. Residents draw on Raleigh's substantial therapy market, including university counseling resources and a deep bench of private practitioners across the Triangle.
