Message to clients

For those who are coming to therapy for the first time, have had a great experience with another therapist and can't imagine starting over, or have had an unsatisfying experience before: coming here is the bravest thing you can do, and I commend you for that. It's hard to start with a new person in any kind of relationship, but it's the first and probably the best step you can take for self care. It will help you through college, graduate school, and life to understand and be mindful of what your needs are and to take care of yourself. It's a risk to be vulnerable with a person you don't know, but it's one that everyone could benefit from, and one that I hope will pay off.

Client testimonials

"Reaching out to Gaby was the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. She gave me what past experiences in therapy had not - concrete, manageable ways to make actual change. She made me feel seen and helped me to build a plan for myself, to establish a routine in order to lift myself out of the place I had fallen into. She is warm, kind, and has been such an impactful ally in my journey with mental health. I am better for having met her, and I will take these lessons with me in each new iteration of myself."

"Gaby really just got me and understood what I was talking about. I could tell she genuinely cared and at our last session today she gave me a hug and told me to stay in touch after graduation. I honestly looked forward to therapy every week because of her."
- Brown University student • June 2015
"I had a serious mental breakdown when a number of tragic incidents happened in both work and relationships, and Gaby was a lifesaver. She did a great job of letting me talk during the first session, deal with the frustration and confusion, and gave me many tips for identifying the main causes. She had a useful process that allowed me to self-diagnose: figuring out where I feel most sources of pain and sorting a list of values into magnitudes of importance. She took very good notes and helped me realize which factors were really hurting me. When I graduated and left campus, we continued via phone on a weekly basis until I had really transitioned from college to real life. Gaby has a good pulse on college students; I highly recommend her."
