I was stuck in a rut…struggling with a general malaise and chronic feeling of mild anxiety. I reached out to Gay Lynn and was impressed from the moment I met her. I could tell immediately that she was really listening and processing the specific details of my situation. Aside from being truly kind and compassionate, she has a lifetime of experience as a therapist, and uses a variety of approaches and self-discovery techniques to bring about healing in an accelerated way.

I had the pleasure of experiencing two psychedelic therapy sessions with Gay Lynn – the first in a private session, and the second in a group retreat. I strongly recommend reaching out to Gay Lynn to explore the potential benefits of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. You will not regret it!

– Ketamine Assistant Psychotherapy patient

Just to qualify briefly: I have been struggling with debilitating depression for over 4 and a half decades with my first therapy session at age 4 years old after a traumatic life incident. I have been prescribed the gamut of pharmaceuticals (no help), have seen more therapists than I can recall (still no help), have been institutionalized for depression and suicidal ideation (no improvement), have chased “happiness” through substance abuse (made things worse), so why now am I able to function normally without depression?

It wasn’t until working closely with Gay Lynn (in both private and group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy settings) that I experienced deep personal healing, spiritual realization & growth, and the extinction of my major depressive disorder! Gay Lynn meets with me on a spiritual level every time. She listens intently and is capable of deep empathy and understanding, just to name a couple of her life-changing characteristics.

Yes, one expects a therapist to be capable of these, but Gay Lynn takes it to a new level by shining her bright inner light to guide through the fear, the darkness, the anxiety, the depression.

She illuminates the power of the present moment and the power of choices in the present moment. She understands the significance of dreams and encourages positive rituals. Her latest book is a MUST READ: Psychedelics, Dreams, and Rituals… we worked this book together, chapter by chapter, and it has changed my life!

She has helped me find deeper meaning and personal growth through difficult life transitions and times of discomfort. I no longer feel the need to give up under the overwhelming pressure of depression. It’s funny now for this “perfectionist,” there are no longer any failures. There are just lessons.

Most of all, Gay Lynn walks side by side with me on this journey to self-discovery. A journey that she taught me only I can choose to take. She sees me for who I am (all of me) and lovingly helps me forward. No judgement, just love and light.

I highly recommend Gay Lynn if you are interested in living your best life, but don’t know where to start, or if you’ve tried everything and still feel mired in a deep rut. Her vast knowledge and experience in her field makes her the top choice for me. I am beyond grateful that I took a chance on Gay Lynn! She saved my life!!

I am a strong believer that therapy is a place where the “healthy get healthier” and therefore have sought out therapists at various times in my life to support my growth when encountering difficult challenges. By far Gay Lynn Grigas is the most effective therapist I have ever encountered. She has a profound sense of presence that allowed me to feel truly heard and understood.

She listens deeply, taking in the many layers of a situation, and responds with a clarity and insight that sometimes seemed almost magical. I would always leave our sessions feeling supported, empowered, and energized to experiment with new perspectives and approaches to my current concerns.

My experience with Gay Lynn has been life-changing. I have experienced one group ketamine journey as well as two private sessions, and all of them were amazing! She made sure everyone had safe and productive sessions. She explained every step in great detail. I am a busy professional and a licensed minister, and I care for others in my private and professional life.

She is an intricate part of my care team. I have regular talk therapy sessions where I am allowed and encouraged to share what is going on in my life in a place where I know confidentiality is at the forefront of her practice. I appreciate the container she builds for me in our sessions to work through my own “stuff” without judgment and always has fantastic feedback and tools to help me with whatever I am bringing.

She often revisits past conversations and processing from our ketamine sessions to ensure she tracks what I am talking about and takes a healthy interest in integrating that experience into my healing. I feel that all caregivers should have strong support networks for themselves, and Gay Lynn is a HUGE part of mine, and I am so grateful! Thank you!

Working with Gay Lynn has been an amazing experience. The breakthroughs I’ve made with her guidance have been life-changing. 30+ years of suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression were turned around much quicker than I ever believed possible. People who have known me for decades saw the transformation in me and were blown away. Working with Gay Lynn has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Working with Gay Lynn has truly been life changing. The KAP sessions opened my eyes to the world in a way I never expected, helping me find a deeper sense of happiness and peace. After my father passed, I developed a deep fear of death and struggled with grief, but Gay Lynn has guided me through this in a way that feels both healing and empowering.

She also helped me recognize the weight of generational trauma especially in my relationship with my mother, who has always been present in my life and now helps care for my children. So much of my anxiety stems from this dynamic, and through our work together, I’ve started to understand how these patterns have been passed down through generations. More importantly, I’m learning how to break the cycle and become the kind of parent I want to be, one who doesn’t yell but instead leads with love.

Beyond that, we’ve been exploring spirituality and how it can bring deeper meaning and healing to so many areas of life. This journey has been incredibly eye-opening, and I’m so grateful for Gaylynn’s wisdom, compassion, and support. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for true healing and transformation

My experience with Gay Lynn helped me identify and address multiple underlying issues I had been struggling with for years. Her ability to illuminate and sympathetically expose the root causes of my maladaptive behavior had a life changing effect on my mental outlook.

Ther perspective shift I experienced both through talk therapy and medicinal experience (Ketamine Assisted), has allowed me to see and cope with issues both large and small and have returned me to a sense of control and self-worth that I had been lacking in the past. I’m so grateful that I was able to work with Gay Lynn. Her book, Psychedelics, Dreams & Rituals, is an enlightening part of self-discovery.

It has been my experience that most therapists have a limit how much they can help or how deep they can go. With Gay Lynn there appears to be no limit. Her insight and sixth sense to help you find the real answer in the root cause is extremely unique and a breath of fresh air.

When I first started working with Gay Lynn, I was an absolute mess—though I had a flicker of hope and a deep desire to turn my life around. From the very beginning, Gay Lynn met me with such warmth, guidance, and compassion that I felt safe to begin making real changes.

She has this incredible gift for helping you find clarity when you’re lost, and with her support, I discovered what I truly wanted for myself. Through her thoughtful approach—including Ketamine Assisted therapy—I found myself laughing again, feeling hopeful about the future, and believing I could be the kind of example my young son deserves. Gay Lynn’s transformative presence in my life is something I’ll always cherish; she’s helped me grow and heal in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I’d be years behind without her brilliance. I recommend her wholeheartedly—she’s simply a treasure.

Gay Lynn is a phenomenal therapist, writer, teacher, and advocate for mental health. I have been using the tools suggested by her and I am applying them to my daily life and I am healing.

I honestly don’t know how I would have survived the last couple of years without Gay Lynn! She has helped me through the highs and super lows of my life walking the path with me. Gay Lynn is always available to listen giving me the space to vent and always providing the best advice. I am so thankful everyday to have Gay Lynn in my life and I especially enjoy our laughter together! Thank you, Gay Lynn, for sharing your wisdom and love with me.

I love working with Gay Lynn. She has a grounding and nurturing presence. Her support has helped me transform my life from the inside out. I am so grateful for her and can’t recommend working with her enough.

Gay Lynn’s counseling services are second to none in my opinion. She is a wonderful counselor. I find her questions interesting and responses insightful. She is intuitive to what I am trying to explain and understands my feelings with much compassion. She can relate a current matter to a past conversation we had that re-establishes the point we were conversing about. A counseling session with Gay Lynn is an opportunity to really get understand oneself. I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing GayLynn for about a month now for therapy. GayLynn is always punctual and very on top of her schedule with follow up appointments. GayLynn is very easy to talk with and share what it is that I’m needing to work on in our appointments. Making it easy to set goals and work towards them. I feel that I am in very capable hands with my therapy. Have also referred friends to her as well!

Gay Lynn has exceptional gifts of insightful intuition, compassion, and a healing presence that foment an engagement of trust and collaborative problem-solving.It is important to be understood and deeply seen, and just as important to have tools and the compass to move toward one’s North Star in life. Gay Lynn addresses all this and more, and I am deeply grateful for finding her and the professional experience and talents she has brought to my transformative growth.

Gay Lynn Grigas, LMHC has been an invaluable therapeutic asset for me as I navigated survival from my broken heart during 2024. As an LMHC/therapist myself, I made a difficult patient. Gay Lynn was so patient with me and all of my bargains, lol. Now I only need once a moth monitoring for my progress ongoing. I was hurt and so lost and now I see the sun shining through the clouds. Thank you, Gay Lynn!

Working with Gay Lynn has been one of the most impactful experiences in my personal journey. Her grounded presence, deep listening, and intuitive guidance helped me reconnect with who I really am beneath all the noise. As someone who moves fast and leads others, I didn’t realize how much I needed space where I could just be—with no pressure, no roles to play. I’ve come away with more clarity, peace, and a sense of wholeness I didn’t know was possible. I’m so grateful for this work and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking real transformation.

I have been working with Gay Lynn for almost four years now. She expertly guided me through one of the darkest periods of my life—a failing marriage, excessive alcohol and drug use to mask depression, negative behaviors, and career difficulties. Thanks to her support, I’m living in a new city, enjoying a healthy relationship, using alcohol minimally, and experiencing little to no depression.

Gay didn’t do this work for me, but I certainly couldn’t have done it alone. Her approach to therapy is positive, supportive, encouraging, and refreshingly honest—she doesn’t hesitate to directly point out negative or unproductive patterns in behavior. She has truly been a partner in helping me reclaim my life, reconnect with my inner self, and remove self-inflicted obstacles holding me back.

Though we reduced the frequency of our session due to my progress (a direct result of her counseling) Gay continues to serve as an essential sounding board and a clear, honest mirror for navigating life’s challenges. I’ve had therapists in the past, but none provided the depth of honesty, guidance, and genuine support I’ve experienced in my work with Gay.

I have been working with Gay Lynn for over a year now. My life has changed dramatically since I began sessions with her. With her assistance I have developed the skills to heal deeply held traumas. From this place of stability, I have been able to envision and begin to embody the person I have always wanted to be. I so greatly appreciate our continued work, where with her help, I am able to reinforce my personal values and ideals, learn to effectively manage stress and perform self-care, interact effectively with my partner and family, and create necessary social and emotional boundaries. Gay Lynn is an absolute pleasure to work with. I am blessed to have her in my corner.
