Gabrielle Pitzler

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State with experience providing therapy in community mental health. I primarily work with adults and am especially passionate about helping people heal from trauma and difficult life experiences. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel safe to share openly without judgment. I often incorporate EMDR along with other evidence-based approaches to help clients process past experiences and move forward with greater clarity and stability. My goal is to support you in understanding your story, building on your strengths, and creating meaningful change in your life.

My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning I see you as the expert on your own life while I provide guidance and support along the way. I integrate different approaches depending on your needs, including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and somatic-based techniques. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy to fit your goals and experiences. My focus is on helping you build insight, develop practical coping tools, and feel more connected to yourself.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We’ll explore your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to get out of the process. I also want to make sure you feel comfortable asking questions and sharing at your own pace. From there, we can start identifying next steps and building a plan that supports the changes you want to make.
