About GCS
Created to Support You
Mission Statement
At Golden Counseling Services, we provide a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where clients can navigate life’s challenges. Guided by the golden rule, we empower each individual to improve their emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Core Values
Inclusivity
Everyone is unique, and we are here to embrace that. We are an LGBTQIA+ welcoming and affirming practice. We welcome everyone from all walks of life!
Equality
We value every single one of our clients, and provide accessible, inclusive, and equitable high-quality virtual and in-person therapy for everyone, no matter their background.
Accessibility
We aim to be accessible for all of our clients. For this reason, we offer both virtual and in-person sessions. Clients that opt for virtual sessions have the flexibility to be anywhere within the entire state of Maryland from the comfort of their home and the convenience of their device(s). Select in-person sessions are available at our Hunt Valley location. We also accept insurance, and keep our private-pay rates affordable.
Compassion
Kind, empathetic, and nonjudgemental; our clinicians employ these traits, among others, when working with their clients. Everyone deserves this treatment, and we ensure you’ll have it when working with us.
Integrity
We uphold the highest ethical and professional standards, following licensure board and HIPAA guidelines. Our clients can trust us for honesty, transparency, and reliable, accurate information, all delivered within clear professional boundaries.
