Gabriela Garcia-Elizaldi

My communication style

My communication style is easy-going, compassionate, and direct, yet with a warm approach. I am humorous to help clients feel as comfortable as possible and create a warm and safe environment where they can let down their guard and speak their minds. I am also very transparent, personable, and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist started at a very young age. I had a significant impact on my life, helping me increase self-awareness at the micro, meso, and macro levels. My caring, non-judgmental, and supportive approach helps my clients build the trust and comfort they need to address these concerns.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with clients by collaboratively identifying their unique needs. Working together and creating realistic and attainable goals that are going to be our focus in treatment, and helping clients maximize our time working together.

Our first session

During the first session, I will ask several questions about the client’s presenting/symptoms, current challenges, as well as background information that will help me have a better understanding of my client’s life experience, needs while building rapport and creating a safe space. Most importantly, what clients hope to achieve in therapy.

I identify as...
