Catalyst Counseling

Gardner McCullough, LCSW-C, LICSW is the founder and Clinical Director of Catalyst Counseling LLC and a Certified First Responder Counselor. He created Catalyst Counseling to provide a practice specifically designed to meet the unique mental health needs of police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other high-stress professionals.

Through years of clinical work with trauma-exposed populations, Gardner saw how traditional therapy models often failed to match the culture, schedules, and realities of first responders. Catalyst Counseling was built with flexibility, confidentiality, and clinical excellence at its core, offering trauma-informed care that respects the strength, resilience, and lived experience of those who serve on the front lines.

The practice focuses on treating trauma, burnout, anxiety, and operational stress while helping first responders reconnect with their families, values, and sense of purpose. Gardner and his team are committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where first responders can process what they carry and build sustainable tools for long-term mental and emotional health.
