her experience with counseling the Uvalde community

Gillian Rodriguez, CEO and primary clinician, Gillian Rodriguez, MA, LPC

Gillian founded Trellis Counseling in the midst of responding to the tragic events of May 24, 2022 in Uvalde, Texas. She recognized a need for a...different kind of counseling practice. Her vision of a direct, yet approachable option for support blossomed when she opened her on-site location in beautiful Boerne, Texas. Right on Main Street, Trellis shows everyone who visits that it's possible to have discretion without stigma and shame; compassionate care without fluff; and innovative solutions without feeling like an outsider.

Gillian is going to share her experience with counseling the Uvalde community in light of the tragedy last year. Her work with them (through the Children’s Bereavement Center) continues today with the survivors and families affected. There is an effort in Kendall County around mental and behavioral health that Paul Giguere is leading with the Kronkosky Foundation and there is a decreasing number of counselors to help support this need in our community and across the country. We are fortunate to have caring professionals like Gillian in our community.
