The foundation of my work is rooted in our therapeutic relationship built through unconditional honesty, understanding, respect, and acceptance. This will give you the opportunity to understand yourself in different ways while developing skills to create lasting change and purpose.

Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalist. License as a NYC Psychoanalyst. Member of Peruvian Psychoanalytic Society, Peruvian Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents. Member of Latinoamerican Federation of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis Associations. Member of International Psychoanalytic Asociation (IPA) from London. Member of Contemporary Freudian Society ( CFS) in NYC.

I have a diverse background with training in child and adult therapy, nutritional counseling, life coaching, and logotherapy. I am best suited to work people experiencing anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy typically focuses on how our past experiences drive us as adults while coaching is more forward-looking, and focuses on setting goals and looking at obstacles that get in the way of reaching those goals. Logotherapy is geared toward helping people find meaning and purpose in life. Child therapy helps children become more expressive of their emotions and develop more awareness of their strengths and to apply them in life.

In my role as counselor, I’m guided by a desire to deeply understand who you are, how you see yourself and your place in the world, and the changes you want to make to lead a more fulfilling life. People are only able to reach a space of true healing and growth when they feel a deep-seated sense of safety. I work hard to create this by making space for intersecting identities and intentionally challenging thoughts and feelings that have historically caused clients to feel ashamed. No one should have to suffer alone. The therapy process can be an onerous and vulnerable one; it can also be transformative and joyful.

ADHD has become a widely recognized challenge that can be treated medically as well as non-medically. Depending on the child or adult and their specific circumstances and needs, we can help. To assess and diagnose, we have experienced psychiatrists and psychologists on staff. Once diagnosed, if medication is warranted as a part of the treatment plan, the psychiatrist would continue in his/her role as the prescribing physician. He/she would communicate with the other clinicians in the center who, as part of the treatment team, would have non-medical roles in the effective treatment of ADHD and its associated conditions.

Hello! My name is Gabriell (Gabbi) Gereau, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of NY, though I now live in Massachusetts. I love helping others improve their mental health and overall well-being, whether it be through play therapy, mindfulness exercises, talking through past trauma, or focusing on day-to-day stressors. Navigating life as a child, teenager, or young adult can be difficult. You are constantly learning new things, facing new challenges, and trying to adapt to our ever-changing world.

Do you find yourself doing the same things over and over again; Psychotherapy can help you change those patterns. Both in depth and short term therapy using alternative methods available. Experience matters! I have worked with all of the areas indicated for over 30 years. Caring. Experienced. Professional. Let me help, as I have so many others before you!

I have been practicing for 25 years and l love what I do! My goal is to help you to navigate life in this time of tension and pressure. I believe that we are all unique but share a common desire to have good relationships, to be good people in our many roles as spouse, parent, friend and worker and to experience happiness. I believe that therapy is a conversation with the goal of helping you to find new ways of behaving and thinking. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

I'm a clinical/health psychologist, inter-faith minister and hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, couples, geriatrics, family, special needs, cultural issues, food, weight issues, viruses, autoimmune diseases & nutritional needs. Anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, cultural stress, career counseling, parenting, men’s issues are just a few of the specialties I work with. Most of us go through life with uncontrolled thoughts allowing our minds to dictate perceptions and meaning to situations we encounter, often in unproductive and/or distressful ways.

I work with clients of all ages. Adult clients come to me for a variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship issues, and parenting questions. Loss and grief are often the root of these issues. I believe we need to change the conversation around grief. I am a spiritual person who welcomes clients interested in incorporating spirituality into their sessions.

As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with clients who are seeking to become “unstuck,” to meet new challenges, and to navigate relationships and emotions. I strive to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of my clients' values, needs, and struggles. Together, we clarify obstacles, evaluate coping strategies, identify personal goals, and develop the skills necessary for a path forward. My approach is non-judgmental, warm, and active.

Sometimes life does not seem to go how you would like it to. It may feel like everything is building up and you may explode into tears. Perhaps it seems as though the more you have going on the more you feel like not doing anything at all and when you aren’t doing anything you still feel like you should be doing something. Sometimes we find ourselves being overworked and underappreciated not only by other people around us but within ourselves as well.

Patients that I meet with will receive a full range of psychotherapy services. I provide parenting counseling, relationship counseling, cognitive therapy, group therapy, psychoanalysis, and anger management. Psychotherapy is available for issues including anxiety, depression, substance abuse as well as eating disorders, couples therapy, individual and family therapy. HIV pre and post counseling, postpartum depression, court mandated treatment, phobias/panic attack, autism, Asperger, ADHD/ ADD, and OCD are a few of the presenting issues I specialize in with over 40 years of experience.

I am a firm believer in encouraging positivity, bolstering self-efficacy, and cultivating independence in others. My typical client is a child, adolescent, or young adult (age 3 to 29) who may be struggling academically, socially, or with developing effective emotional coping skills. Often, the individuals I see have difficulty with attention, concentration, organization, and with meeting the daily demands required of them at school. I also offer much support to parents who may be frustrated with their attempts at connecting with their kids and who are in need of guidance relating to discipline techniques and behavior management.

When you meet with me, you will feel immediately comfortable. I am very good at helping you to figure out what the challenge is and to provide the support you need for change. I am a child/adolescent specialist. I connect exceptionally well to children and teens and have helped many experience better lives. I have over 23 years experience in practice and have had much success. I am looking forward to meeting with you and finding out how I can help you have a stronger and more positive family and to help you, as an individual, attain your goals.
