About Guillaume Counseling

Guillaume Counseling is a group practice based in Oregon and California and led by Nahomie Guillaume, MS, MBA, LMFT. The practice is incorporated in Oregon as Guillaume Counseling Services, P.C., doing business as Guillaume Counseling, and in California as Guillaume Marriage and Family Counseling of California, P.C., doing business as Guillaume Counseling and Guillaume Marriage and Family Counseling.

We provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on maternal and paternal mental health, anxiety and mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Our practice serves adults, children, and adolescents, with specialized experience supporting families with children ages 0–12, as well as individuals and couples navigating premarital and marital relationships.

Our approach emphasizes early intervention, prevention, and treatment for individuals experiencing mild to moderate mental health concerns. Services are integrative and tailored to each client’s needs following a comprehensive assessment, utilizing evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Strategic/Structural Family Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Prepare/Enrich.

Our services are primarily secular (non-religious) and evidence-based in nature, and we work with clients of all belief systems, including those who identify as non-religious, spiritual, or agnostic. We incorporate each client’s individual values, worldview, and sense of meaning into the therapeutic process in a way that is clinically sound and culturally responsive.

Faith-based counseling, which may incorporate a client’s personal beliefs, values, or sense of meaning—including spiritual or non-religious perspectives—is available upon request. Christian counseling, including prayer support, is also available upon request and is provided by select therapists. Clients may request a provider aligned with their preferences.

We are committed to serving a diverse population and strive to create an inclusive and respectful environment for individuals of all backgrounds, including varying cultural, socioeconomic, and belief systems.

Our services include individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, workshops, and care coordination. We take a holistic approach and collaborate with other professionals and community resources when appropriate to support client needs.

This track is covered by most insurance plans so long as you meet medical necessity, which includes a mental health diagnosis. Under this track, we design a family therapy plan around the family member with a mental health diagnosis. Couple counseling is not covered under this plan.

Personal Growth and Development Track

This track is self-pay only. Under this track, the model is flexible and designed to address any life issues causing distress. A full assessment will take place, and we will formulate a treatment plan. The only requirements for service are the client’s willingness and ability to pay.
