Gabrielle Snowden, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gabrielle!

Welcome! Deciding to seek emotional support and a greater understanding of oneself is a brave step. I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I invite you to expand your awareness toward a greater understanding and acceptance.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults in building insight and learning to make choices that better align with one's core values and desired outcomes.

My approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative and is built on safety and trust. I provide a space where you are free to explore and express your authentic self, including your disjointed parts. I hope to walk alongside you on the path towards reaching your version of a fulfilling life. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need.

My communication style

My style is gentle and warm, allowing space for genuine acceptance and growth. My goal is to have you feel seen, heard, and hopeful that healing is possible. I would describe myself as curious, caring, humorous, casual, and open-minded.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always been curious about people’s stories. Every being has a story unique to them. I believe that we all hold power within us to survive and thrive. Through supportive connection and compassion, we can find strength through life’s challenges. Walking alongside my clients and witnessing their journey as they gain confidence and find peace.

My goals for you

Through our partnership, we will be curious together on how your life experiences shape you and impact how you manage life's ups and downs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life changes, or just want to talk, my goal is to help you have a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I'll gather information about your history, current concerns, and what brings you to therapy. For you, it's an opportunity to ask questions and gauge whether my style is a good fit. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
