About
Hi! Thank you for reaching out for support. I am proud of you for making this step!
My name is Desiree Gaines and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Montana. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. I majored in Mental Health and minored in Military Social Work. Between internships and work experience I have worked in many different settings. I have worked with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, combat-related trauma, military and family life stressors, and eating disorders. My experience as a clinician in these different settings has taught me that the connection made between therapist and client is of the utmost importance. I truly believe that you are the holder of your greatest experiences and accomplishments and through the structured, consistent, nonjudgemental support of another person, you will be able to change your personal experiences and grow through your challenges.
I also have the ability to offer faith-based counseling, if you are wanting to incorporate your spiritual beliefs into your healing and recovery process. This is a treatment option that is available upon request and not a standard for all treatment. If you would like a faith-based approach incorporated we will discuss how you would like it to be included in your sessions.
You are welcome to message me anytime through Find A Therapist. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
