Ari Gabin Psychotherapy, LCSW

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families, including adolescents and adults suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma/abuse, divorce, family conflict, relationship issues, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and grief. I have worked with clients in the areas of career path, self-esteem/self-confidence, coping skills, life transitions, and everyday issues. Therapy is not a profession that should be labeled as helping individuals who are acutely mentally ill; instead, therapy is a process of growth and improvement for all individuals who want to invest in themselves.

The intake process is quick and easy and serves as the building blocks for understanding the course of therapy. Progress is different for each client but can be measured by a decrease of symptoms. I work with all clients ranging from three-years-old up to 95-years-old who are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, trauma, personality issues, self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting, college transitions, social issues, special education, behavior modification, phobias, oppositional behavior, grief, and parent-child relationships.

I continue to go to seminars, interact with others in my profession, and read scholarly articles to enhance my knowledge in the mental health field.

My therapy style is warm, engaging, interactive, and collaborative. Each session is tailored to the client and treatment is based on individual needs. Each client is unique and requires a tailor-made treatment plan to help them reach their goal. I use a myriad of theory and techniques, including CBT, DBT, interpersonal process therapy, emotion-focused therapy, existential therapy, crisis intervention, mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, psychoeducation, and solution-focused therapy (among other modalities).
