Angel Gavilanes

I work best with those of you who are ready to get help with your struggles of managing emotions, stress or those who have experienced an event so stressful or hurtful, that you cannot get it out of your mind or cannot stop the painful feelings. I also work well and enjoy working with individuals who simply want to grow by being better people, better communicators, better problem solvers, and who want to be better friends and better family members.

Award winning Therapist — Backed by 18 years of clinical training, 7 years of therapy experience. I am a licensed psychotherapist that provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. I help professionals heal from burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma while reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

I believe real change happens when therapy moves beyond insight and leads to action. It’s not just talk, it’s real progress. My goal is to help you deeply understand the root of your struggles, build practical skills, and create meaningful improvements that last long after therapy ends.

I use a combination of practices including EMDR, Person Centered Therapy, CBT, CPT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I am known to provide a space of trust and free of judgment which will allow you to explore your present and past safely and comfortably.

The first session is mostly an intake session where we begin to understand your history and what brought you to therapy. We will explore your past and patterns that may be impacting you today and your future. Next, we will focus on what you would like to achieve in therapy and what life would look like once you can move past whatever is having you be stuck. We will work together in detail on identifying what is having you stuck or how to work on your growth. It doesnt have to be very structured. Some sessions can be light and customized to each person as my approach involved being person centered and strength based.
