Gabe Wilson

Mental Health Counseling Intern (Master’s Level, Supervised)

I believe people grow in the context of their relationships, communities, and culture. In therapy, I work collaboratively and at your pace, creating a space that is respectful, curious, and nonjudgmental. My style is warm and grounded: we clarify what matters to you, build practical skills, and explore patterns that keep you stuck so you can move toward the life you want.

I have over 3 years of clinical experience working in various levels of care (IOP/PHP), as well as residential and inpatient. I am thoroughly experienced in deescalation, validation, and fascilitating therapeutic interventions with a variety of acuity levels.

My approach blends evidence-based tools with a systems and existential lens. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help with immediate concerns like anxiety, mood, and stress. I utilize existential and humanistic principles, treating clients as the experts in their own lives and emphasizing meaning-making. Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy philosophies that focus on effective coping skills and building a life worth living from the client’s perspective. Sessions are active and tailored: we set clear goals, practice concrete strategies, and check in regularly about what is and is not working.

I especially enjoy working with students, young adults, and adults navigating life transitions, identity development, and working on interpersonal communication skills. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. If you are seeking a therapist who will collaborate with you, offer practical tools, and honor your story, I would be glad to connect.
