Couples Counseling Therapists in State College, PA

Open and Accepting New Clients. My name is Craig Gabel, the owner of Cairn Wellness, a new practice in State College. I've been working as a mental health therapist for 9 years and have a total of 17 years experience working in human services. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss. However, I am comfortable and experienced in working with most concerns clients bring to therapy.

At The Healing Room, we do more than treat your symptoms. We strive to restore your balance and natural integrity, and offer you a fresh perspective into your healing. Our integrative approach uses a wide variety of traditional talk therapy modalities along with holistic methods that incorporate the wisdom of the body and nurture the spirit to accomplish the deepest level of healing possible—so you can thrive.

Welcome to my practice. No matter what circumstances have led you here, I hope to provide a safe place for you to explore, heal, and grow. Maybe life has presented some new challenges for you and you need to grow to meet those challenges. Maybe anxiety, depression, or some other experience seems to have hijacked your life and you want some guidance. Maybe your relationship isn't going the way you hoped and you wonder if there is a better way. Counseling is a tool for getting yourself into a healthier happier place.

I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life. During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life. My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. From this understanding and processing of your unique story, you can let go of traumas that control you, anxiety and depression road blocks, bad relationships, and overall the emotional pain that may prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life that gets you excited to wake up to everyday. I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life. You DESERVE this and I'm here to help you on this healing journey!

A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself (Maryam Hasnaa). I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and professionals who are motivated to work with an experienced therapist to more deeply understand, heal, grow, and feel at home with themselves and in their relationships. I believe in providing a safe, private, open-minded, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment for my clients to explore themselves and commit to personally meaningful change.

I currently have a wait list. The best way to reach me is to contact me by email, providing some details about your specific need and wishes for therapy at this time. I have been in private practice since 1995, and provide psychotherapy in the State College, Pennsylvania area. My office is located just blocks away from the main campus of Penn State University. My approach multi-faceted, although my training is primarily Jungian, psychodynamic, and systems-based. The primary focus of my private practice is individual psychotherapy for adults, although I also work with couples and families.

For some of us, our ability to maintain a loving, empowered relationship with ourselves can be more challenging due to circumstance, our mental health (or lack thereof), and events that may have happened to us. Perhaps this shows up as struggling to show up for ourselves in ways we do for others. For many, when we feel like our potential is different than our reality, we may turn against ourselves.

As we journey through life, there are times our travel becomes weary. We may feel lost, plagued by doubt, or burdened by uncertainty. Yet we are strong, resilient, and determined. We simply need a guide to help us discover the path forward. That is where Forward Path Counseling can help.

Are you a student or professional facing academic, social, or emotional issues? Are you struggling to manage anxiety, depression, or relationships? Life transitions, daily stress, relationship concerns, depression or past trauma can be difficult to handle on your own. If you are unsure where to go for counseling or if local therapists have long waiting lists, I might be able to help. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or just need extra support, please reach out. We can get started with a free call to discuss your concerns and come up with a plan that fits into your busy schedule.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide psychotherapy to adults and couples facing a wide range of issues. My approach to individual therapy integrates mindfulness- and acceptance-based techniques to guide people toward a healthier relationship with emotional distress and problematic behavior. Cultivation of psychological insight and awareness is used as a springboard for growth, empowerment, and the pursuit of balance and value-driven action.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with college students, adults, and couples. I specialize in treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and coping with life stressors. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, my goal is to help clients make meaningful change in their lives. Goals for therapy could include better understanding your thoughts and emotions, learning healthy ways of coping, increasing self-esteem and self-compassion, processing traumatic events, improving emotion regulation, and enhancing relationships with boundaries and assertive communication.

For more than 25 years I have helped children, adolescents, college students, adults, seniors, couples and families deal with the difficulties in their lives.

Your experience is worthy of exploration and I believe that we all benefit from a protected space to journey through our history, needs, thoughts, and wishes around who we've been and who we want to be. I'm also familiar with the many ways that we can feel prohibited from giving ourselves such a space.
