Gina, Founder of In Good Company Counseling and Spiritual Direction

I want you to know, you're in good company.

Welcome to In Good Company Counseling and Spiritual Direction

You are in good company here: your authentic self, your values, your questions, and your doubts. All of it is welcome.

I'm Gina Norman, CASD, a counselor, certified spiritual director, and contemplative practitioner based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, offering sessions in person and online throughout the United States. For fifteen years I have been living a contemplative life: leaning into solitude, practicing mindfulness, and learning to be present to myself, to nature, and to my higher power. That practice shapes everything about how I show up with clients.

At In Good Company, I offer integrative, trauma-informed counseling and spiritual direction for people who are ready to stop compartmentalizing their inner life. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, or sitting with deeper questions about faith, identity, and purpose, healing unfolds here at your own pace, without pressure or agenda.

This is an explicitly inclusive practice. I am proud to serve LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, those healing from religious trauma or spiritual abuse, those who are spiritual but not religious, and those who carry no particular belief at all. If you have ever felt like your sensitivity was too much, or like your questions made you unwelcome somewhere, you belong here.

What Is the Difference Between a Counselor and a Spiritual Director?

A counselor is trained to help you answer your questions. A spiritual director is trained to be with you in your questions. Counseling tends to focus on the question: finding clarity, tools, and practical change. Spiritual direction tends to focus on the questioner: honoring the mystery, sitting with what cannot be resolved, and helping you stop looking for definitives where none exist. Both have profound value. I offer both.

Most of my life I never felt like I was truly in good company. That experience is the reason this practice exists. I know what it is to feel unseen, and I know what it means to finally feel held. It is my life's work to help you know that you are not alone on this journey.

Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. Bring your celebrations. Welcome — you are in good company.

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.
