Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Dearborn, MI

Hi there, and thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Gabi, and I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During my graduate training, I focused on mastering Aaron Beck’s CBT approach, which continues to guide my work in helping clients develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and am credentialed to provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) therapy. I completed advanced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) training through the Dialectical Behavioral Institute in Michigan, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also hold specialized certifications in ADHD (CCSP), anger management (CSAM), anxiety treatment (CCATP), and mood disorders.

My clinical experience includes work as a residential therapist, in a faith-based private practice, facilitating counseling services in correctional facilities, and in hospital emergency psychiatric units supporting individuals in crisis. I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists.

I primarily work with adults 18 and older, offering a safe, supportive, and professional environment. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating CBT and DBT techniques to promote balance, resilience, and personal growth.

Hello! I would love to meet you to see if our partnership is a good fit. I love helping adults navigate healing from trauma, anxiety, depression and the challenges that come from just being human. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University. I am also a married mom of 6. When I am not working, I enjoy camping, warm days at the beach, gardening and watching the animals on our small farm. I love reading and learning. I'm "that nerd" who loves sharing the latest research or why our brains may react in different ways. I have twelve years of experience working with individuals, couples and families battling addiction, mental health and co-occurring disorders. I also have six years of experience working with adults of varying physical, emotional and cognitive abilities in a residential setting.

I’m an Indiana and Michigan Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm. As a fully virtual provider, I offer flexible, confidential online therapy to clients across Michigan.

I work with people navigating life's challenges using an approach that draws from real-life experience and evidence-based methods. I'm trained in DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT, and I tailor my work to fit your unique needs and goals.

I'm genuine and create a safe, non-judgmental place to process life's difficult moments. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I'm here to support and empower you on that journey.

I am a seasoned professional who has worked in various settings within Healthcare including crisis intervention and chronic conditions such as Cancer.

Across my clinical and human services work, I have developed a calm, steady approach to helping people move through dificult seasons. I am a member of the counseling team at my church. I have worked with individuals afected by trauma, domestic violence, abuse, neglect, and family stress. Through my work experience, I am able to create supportive environments where clients feel heard, respected, and guided toward practical next steps. My experience has strengthened my ability to build trust quickly, communicate with care, and respond thoughtfully in high-stress situations. I am comfortable working with diverse needs and backgrounds while maintaining boundaries,confidentiality, and a client-centered focus.

Are you ready to make a change? I can help you with life transitions, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and getting unstuck. You can expect increased clarity, confidence, and hope as you move toward a fuller life.
