Carla Frankoviglia- Gilfry

Hi, I’m Carla With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and more than two decades in the fitness and wellness space, I bring a deeply integrative approach to healing—one that honors the powerful connection between the mind and body. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Missouri. My career began in hospital-based settings, where I developed a strong clinical foundation working with individuals navigating complex emotional and psychological challenges. Over time, I transitioned into private practice, where I have had the privilege of supporting clients in creating lasting, meaningful change in their lives. I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals—particularly women—who may appear successful on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected internally. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive psychology with a whole-person perspective that incorporates emotional, physical, and lifestyle factors. In addition to therapy, my background in fitness and wellness allows me to offer a unique lens on stress, resilience, and overall well-being. I believe healing is not just about reducing symptoms—it’s about creating a life that feels aligned, energized, and fulfilling. My style is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you are seeking therapy, consultation, or coaching, my intention is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and build sustainable change from the inside out.
