My name is Dr. Gabe Veas, and I find joy in helping individuals, couples, and families pursue their mental health goals in a non-blaming and non-shaming manner. My primary work has assisted clients in exploring their identities by dynamically utilizing online psychotherapy. I incorporated photos, music, and art into the treatment to help clients deconstruct their narratives. I am committed to lifelong learning by holding membership with several professional groups, including the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, which assists me in helping clients experience sexual health, freedom, and healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
For many of my clients, I was the first mental health professional they connected with voluntarily. I am confident that I can help you where you are and that you will have a supportive person in your corner as you take the initiative down this path. Therapy has played a central role in my life, and I will create a comfortable environment for you that will assist you from the start.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a board-certified sexologist, former professor, mentor, executive, and clergy member, I offer therapy that is affirming, culturally responsive, and results-oriented. I was honored as the first Professor of Mentorship in the U.S., and I bring decades of experience helping people navigate identity, relationships, and purpose. I also support clients caring for animal companions, including end-of-life decisions and grief, alongside my therapy puppy, Cancun the Beloved Chihuahua. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or growth—you don’t have to do it alone.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Throughout my career, I have sought to be inclusive, most recently serving those from the trans, non-conforming, and intersex communities with the Trans Health & Wellness Center of Palm Springs. I also have experience working with Athletes, College Students & Academics, Creative Artists, Entrepreneurs, Gamers, Mentors & Coaches, and Couples in The Lifestyle. As a Mexican-American from Los Angeles, CA, I have experienced diversity in my life by developing relationships and learning from those from an array of social locations. I have also taught diversity, inclusion, & equity courses at several universities. I am looking forward to joining you on your mental health journey.

Narrative
I use Narrative Therapy to help clients reclaim authorship of their lives. Together, we explore the stories that shape your identity—challenging the ones that no longer serve you and amplifying those rooted in strength, healing, and possibility. With a culturally attuned and creative approach, I hold space for clients to reframe their narratives through conversation, metaphor, and expressive tools that align with who they are.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I incorporate Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify what’s working and build on their existing strengths. Rather than staying stuck in problems, we focus on your goals, your values, and the small steps that lead to meaningful change. This approach is empowering, future-oriented, and especially useful when you’re seeking clarity, motivation, or rapid progress in a specific area of your life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you notice the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—especially the patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we challenge unhelpful thinking, practice new ways of responding, and build skills you can use in real life, not just in session. My goal isn’t to “fix” you, but to help you feel more equipped, more aware, and more in control of your story as it unfolds.
