About Parker Studio
Counseling • Advocacy • Treatment • Formation
Rooted in Care, Growing Through Connection
Founded by Billie Gilliam, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, LMHC, Parker Studio is more than a counseling practice. It is a sanctuary space — a place where individuals, families, and communities find evidence-based care, compassionate advocacy, and pathways to healing.
Licensed in both Ohio and Washington State, Billie has spent decades building spaces where families can breathe, heal, and rise. What began as a private practice has grown into something much larger: a studio where multiple expressions of healing flourish.
"Healing happens in relationship. Growth happens in community."

How Parker Studio Took Root
What began as Billie J. Gilliam's small private practice has grown into a studio for healing and growth — a place where counseling, advocacy, and education intersect.
Billie is a dually licensed counselor (LPCC-S, LICDC-CS) whose philosophy is rooted in a strength-focused, integrated systems approach. She believes healing is not about perfection, but about uncovering the patterns that disrupt thriving and transforming them into pathways forward.
"We are survivors of many things — but surviving is not the same as thriving. My purpose is to help you understand your pain, integrate it, and truly thrive."
As clients began asking for more than private sessions, Parker Studio expanded into new arms:
Counseling
Individual, group, couples, and family counseling for mental health and substance use, with trauma-informed care.
Advocacy
For children and families navigating complex school and healthcare systems.
Training & Supervision
Fostering the next generation of compassionate, skilled clinicians.
Community Programs
Bridging healing into homes, schools, and neighborhoods.
Today, Parker Studio is a sanctuary for multiple expressions of healing — individual and systemic, clinical and creative, private and communal.
