Gabriele Gutierrez

I have over 20 years of counseling experience working with diverse individuals from young children to seniors. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, transitions, self destructive behaviors, codependency among others, so that you can overcome the blocks that keep you from living the life you deserve. I use an integrated and collaborative approach created to meet the unique needs of each individual while establishing a safe environment conducive to achieving goals, and moving forward.

I believe that true change happens when people are given the support they need in order to draw upon their own strengths to realize their full potential. I am very passionate about the work I do, compassionate, and believe that with dedication and commitment, you can live the fulfilling life you know is awaiting you.

A few comments former clients have said about me and our work together include;

“I’ve worked with a number of therapists before, but you are the only one that I felt truly cared.”

“I can't believe that after 8 years of depression and PTSD, I actually feel great after only 6 months! If you would have asked me if this were possible a couple years ago, I would have said absolutely not!”

I have worked with both short-term and long-term interventions and in diverse settings. My goal is your goal and together, you can achieve what you may have thought, or think, is unachievable. It is possible to not only overcome obstacles, but thrive and live a happy life.

I work with many clients that have depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress syndrome (including complex PTSD-CPTSD), childhood trauma, social anxiety, low self-esteem and self-worth, relationship difficulties, communication, and codependency, to name a few. Together, we'll explore some of your experiences to gain a better understanding about how they may be affecting you today and with the appropriate treatment method for you, overcome what you may feel you could not change in order to be free from those things that have kept you from living a more fulfilling life.

During our first session together, you should expect to have a clear understanding of how I work, and how I can support you. I am often told that people feel safe with me, and while I serve many people that may experience similar issues, I want you to know and feel unique in that you are. One size does not fit all, and my goal is to understand you the best way I can so I can best serve and support you. Over time, my goal is yours, and my hope is that as we process things together you will gain a better understanding of yourself and learn effective methods on how to change. The most important thing in our time together is you, and doing what we need to together in order to grow, heal, and reach your goals.
