Teralyn Gabriel, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Teralyn!

My goal is to help you achieve those goals in a compassionate, client-centered and empowering way. I want to help you find your most authentic self and feel the freedom and power that is in withing you.

My focus

I work with a variety of different people and age groups who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, parenting, infertility, ADHD and ASD. For over 20 years, I have helped many people dig through the systems of their life and family to discover their hidden strengths and build new coping skills. It's a journey we take together.

My approach

I use a combination of Narrative, Strengths-based and solution-focused (EFT) approaches, as well as Culturally Sensitive Therapy. This Eclectic Therapy approach helps me to understand your goals and collaborate with you to achieve your desired outcomes.

My communication style

My communication style is collaborative, empowering and exploratory. I use open, safe and non-judgmental communication and I support clients through active listening. I often seek clarification during sessions as I aim to make sure each client feels supported and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a provider because I have worked for over 20 years in this profession and I love helping people discover the power, strength and courage within themselves. I also work part-time at a local hospital helping many different types of people discover their medical goals and behavioral health needs.

My goals for you

Through mutual collaboration we discover what your treatment goals are and then I use an Eclectic Therapy approach to help you meet those goals. Goals can often change during the course of treatment and together we will adjust those goals as needed.
