Hello my name is Gabby Wnek and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Illinois. I have been practicing for 8 years. I help adults with anxiety, depressing, stress, and burnout. I help clients identify where they are feeling stuck, educate clients on the nervous system, and provide tools and techniques to regulate the nervous system. My approach with client is very practical so that clients can have a toolbox of skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together is going to be information gathering. I want to understand what is going on and the reason that are you seeking therapy. I will ask questions about your symptoms, how long symptoms have been happening, and what your goals are going to be in therapy. I will ask you about your past, including any past traumas, family mental health history, if you are on any medications, and your current living environment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is that I practice what I preach. Everything that I suggest and educate clients on I have personally used or use in my life. I have been through debilitating anxiety and chronic pain. I have learned how to calm and regulate my nervous system and continue to heal the chronic pain. I know that it's like to feel out of control and to want to change. I really understand mental health issues. I provide a safe container for clients, empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental environment. I can also push clients when I feel like they need it.
