Gabrielle Stewart, LCMHC, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gabrielle!

Welcome! I am a passionate clinician here to help my clients recognize their strengths, develop compassion for their challenges, and develop skills to help achieve their goals. I know that vulnerability and transparency are difficult for many, so every encounter should begin by building an alliance and creating a safe environment.

My focus

I work with adolescents to adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and challenges within the family unit. Together, we could explore helpful tools that can assist with achieving goals for treatment.

My approach

I believe you already possess strengths, resilience, and insight that can serve as powerful tools for growth and healing. My role is not to provide all the answers, but to help you uncover your own capacities, challenge limiting patterns, and move toward meaningful change.

My communication style

I prioritize a non-judgmental environment for open communication. I offer a calm and safe space for clients to share any challenges, while encouraging reflection of past experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first realized that I had an interest in mental health while working in the school system. Once licensed, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults, collaborating with my clients to identify strengths and modify unhelpful behaviors. Everyone has the tools to improve if allowed to better understand themselves.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a contact sport—an active, collaborative process that requires engagement, honesty, and teamwork to create lasting results. I focus on building trust so you are comfortable collaborating to achieve their goals.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity to gather background information and understand what is bringing you to therapy. It is common to feel nervous about your first session, but please know we will move at your pace.
