Adults Therapists in Peapack, NJ

I specialize in empowering individuals who are trapped in people pleasing behaviors to break free from self doubt and overthinking, fostering self confidence and assertiveness for a more authentic and fulfilling life. I help clients connect deeply with their core values, guiding them through a journey of self discovery and alignment.

Sometimes life presents us with difficult situations and intense emotional experiences, but please know you are not alone and I will offer you a safe and supportive environment to be your true self and feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable as you work towards self healing. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who experience difficulties with a variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and navigating life’s stressors. I believe a collaborative relationship between therapist and client is most effective for treatment, and together we can individualize a plan that best meets your needs.

It is my passion to provide compassionate support and expertise to help you navigate and grow through life's challenges. I work with a broad array of issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and eating disorders. I strive to cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance, empowering you to discover your strengths and to facilitate lasting change. I provide a supportive and compassionate environment where you can explore your concerns, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies. I value your uniqueness and strive to develop a deep understanding of your experience, values, and aspirations.

Conflicts impeding communication and resolution of self-destructive behaviors are typical concerns raised in therapy. Clients often are looking for new strategies to help cope with life's changing circumstances and to remove obstacles preventing growth. The therapeutic process allows people to build on resources from within to attain balance throughout their lifetime. I am dedicated to working with care, compassion and respect for my clients throughout this process in a confidential and safe environment.

Hope gives you strength, encouragement, peace and the ability to press on and move forward. Without it we feel stuck, depressed and even hopeless. I can help foster positive growth in your life, help you see that change really is possible, and that there is always hope.

Dr. Gabriel likes working with co-occurring clients providing counseling, coaching, and advice to these populations using Person-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, CBT & DBT approaches. Most importantly, Gabriel likes to place his clients/patients first before everything, meet them where they are with patience, empathy, and non-judgment, and with good attending skills gradually walk with them to where they want to be. Gabriel always believes in the BioPsychoSocioSpiritual model, which means if everything else fails in therapy, the is a higher power, agreater ourselves that we turn to, who can bring us all to healing through prayers.

My clients are individuals who are suffering grief, loss, and anxiety. They are confused, often angry, and depressed as they face challenges thrust upon them by tragedy and unexpected transitions. They are lost, in need of compassionate assistance. They need guidance in shifting their focus in order to move forward unhindered by the inertia inflicted by their pain, depression and negativity. As a therapist who has personally suffered the loss of daughter, son, and husband I can not only relate professionally but personally, thus I can provide each with the support they need to move through transitions with new outlooks.
