Gabi Collins
I work with thoughtful, motivated, high-functioning adults who may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, emotional exhaustion, perfectionism, shame, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, relationship distress, or the long-term effects of complex trauma. Many of my clients are professionals, leaders, caregivers, and high achievers who are exhausted of simply managing and want to understand the deeper patterns shaping their lives. These patterns and behaviors often come from long term or long ago experiences in their lives, and my clients are ready to explore and make a change.
First session
My approach is secular (non-religious), trauma informed, and neuroscience based. I help clients understand how the brain, nervous system, attachment patterns, and past experiences influence present day emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Therapy with me is a conversation, a journey and an exploration, for the rebuilding into who you always wanted to be.
Strengths
I use a unique approach to therapy. I have studied humanity from every angle, from culture and society to psychology and brain formation. I welcome clients processing complex trauma, family enmeshment, identity changes, or a "its complicated" status with belief systems. If this is you, I am ready to join you on your path to healing.
Ideal clients
Many of my clients are professionals, leaders, caregivers, and high achievers who are exhausted of simply managing and want to understand the deeper patterns shaping their lives. These patterns and behaviors often come from long term or long ago experiences in their lives, and my clients are ready to explore and make a change. I proudly serve the LGBTQIA community as both a member and ally as a progressively minded therapist.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
At the heart of my practice is a trauma informed approach. I approach with compassion, care and respect your lived experiences in the processing of trauma.
Psychodynamic
Psycho dynamic simply means I take a deep dive into your childhood to figure out how your upbringing, environment, relationships and experiences affected who you are today. This allows us to work together to pick apart old patterns and create new ones.
