I'm Gab. I provide counseling to adults and children. I never want you to feel you need to censor yourself or feel judged for the shit that crosses your mind (I promise you aren't the only one thinking it anyway). I make sure to keep our space comfy and open. If you're here because you're interested in EMDR- I offer that too :)
In the first session, clients can expect to feel comfortable. I know in my own therapy, comfortability with my therapist was top priority- how was this relationship going to work if I wasn't comfortable? Say what's on your mind, no judgement here. You can also expect a touch of dark humor and/or sarcasm throughout sessions.
I feel my open-mindedness and communication skills are my greatest strengths as a provider. And my down-to-earth, no pressure kind of approach to the therapeutic relationship. PRIVATE PAY (out-of-pocket) Individual sessions: $120 per session, up to 60 minutes (open to discussing sliding scale options) $155 per session, 60-90 minutes
We use some CBT here and there, while connecting reasons behind why your thoughts default to what they do, and what action you take following these thoughts.
We identify your strengths early on, and we continue building these throughout sessions together. Yes, you have them, even if we have to dig for you to realize it!
I am completely open-minded in sessions and supportive of what you want. I may or may not agree, but whatever YOU are seeking, we will work toward. I like to describe myself as your hype girl, always in your corner, BUT NOT YOUR "YES GIRL", I will gladly call you on your bullshit and hold you accountable, as needed.
