Bayreach Counseling Group Call

Our clinicians

A psychologist, a clinical social worker, a marriage and family therapist and two mental health counselors. Read how each one works, then ask for anyone by name.

Dr. Lucia Tamsett, PsyD

Clinical director, licensed psychologist, practicing since 2008

Most people wait a long time before they call. I want that first call to be the easy part.

Lucia opened the practice in 2014 with one office and a plan to add clinicians whose training covered what hers did not. There are five now. Every Tuesday morning they meet to talk through cases that need a second view.

In her own sessions, Lucia sees adults about anxiety and worry, grief, and seasons when a lot changes at once: a move, a divorce, a retirement. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Works with

  • Adults
  • Anxiety and worry
  • Grief and loss
  • Life changes

Gideon Ashcombe, LCSW

Licensed clinical social worker, practicing since 2015

Gideon spent six years as a hospice social worker before he joined the practice, and grief is still the work he is asked about most. He sees adults after a death, a divorce, a diagnosis or a job loss.

He also sees people for work stress and burnout, and many men who have never been in therapy before. His sessions are practical: what is happening this week, and what you want to try before the next one.

Works with

  • Adults
  • Grief and loss
  • Work stress
  • Men in therapy for the first time
  • Groups
