As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I recognize that our identity isn’t the “route” of our negative mental health symptoms. However, the way in which we cope and heal are unique to our lived LGBTQ+ experiences. Often we are unable to find an affirmative and safe space to heal for lack of true empathy and understanding from our providers - and I want to help change that narrative. While our experiences may differ, having a therapist who identifies similarly to yourself can make a world of difference in your journey to improving your mental health.

I help adults overcome anxiety and its accompanying struggles. Are you tired of constantly battling anxiety, fear, self-doubt, or substance use? I know you've tried everything and are in desperate need of relief. Here's the good news: Anxiety is very treatable with evidence-backed approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). In fact, ACT is effective for overcoming anxiety in as little as 12 to 16 sessions. Imagine a life in which you can become more open and outgoing, start dating again, connect emotionally with your partner, return to school, and pursue your dream career.

I find that treatment works best when the effort is a collaboration between the psychologist and the client. Instead of telling you what choices to make, my role is to help you uncover all of the possibilities and act as your partner in determining the best path for yourself.

It hurts to feel lost. Have you been wondering how to find your way back, or find your way forward? Things can get better, relationships can heal, and deep connection can be built. Open and honest conversations might feel scary, but they can turn back the tide towards healing and caring.

My name is Gabe Veas, and I find joy in helping individuals, couples, and families pursue their mental health goals in a non-blaming and non-shaming manner. My primary work has assisted clients in exploring their identities by dynamically utilizing online therapy. I have incorporated photos, music, and art into the treatment to help clients deconstruct their narratives. I am committed to lifelong learning by holding membership with several professional groups, including the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, which assists me in helping clients experience sexual health, freedom, and healing.

I help folks get their life back on track! Therapy is not always a walk in the park. In fact, it can even be downright painful to look at things you would rather avoid. However, on the other side of these issues, one can find some relative peace and comfort, and I am willing to be there with you for every step of the journey. Maybe you feel anxious, stuck, isolated, depressed, or down. Are your relationships in the ditch? Do you find making new friends a bit tricky? Perhaps, you drink or do drugs more than you would like to help cope. You have tried to get back on track, but nothing is working. That's where I come in.

Are you at a crossroad in your life where you want to make changes, but you find yourself stuck with behavioral patterns that are not helpful? Maybe you are at a point where you want more from your life and you are ready to create the changes you want. Each person’s therapeutic journey is different. Yours may include in-depth work in certain areas like personal transformation, grief and loss issues, transitions in your health or career, relationship difficulties, developing confidence, or overcoming anxiety and/or depression. My area of strength is to bring guidance and harmony to your mind, body, and spirit during your journey.

I identify as transgender and gay. As a transgender male, I believe that therapy means authenticating parts of oneself, whether you view those parts as negative or positive. I pride myself on being an affirmative space for individuals who identify as transgender and non-binary because I identify within that community as well.

"Unleash your potential and take strides in creating the life you deserve and desire." Therapy reflects growth. It starts with courage and a desire for change. Seeking help from a psychologist starts with a decision to move beyond barriers and the confines of the past. It's about the desire to move forward and grow in order to reach your goals and fullest potential. I will help you develop solutions, new understandings, self-acceptance, ways of thinking and strategies that open you to deeper change and a more fulfilling life. ***I only provide telehealth sessions, which I find to be very effective.

Accepting new clients as of January 2023 either for VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON psychotherapy. I have worked in the Mental Health field since 1997. Sometimes one may need someone who is available only for you. As a therapist I provide a safe place where you can be vulnerable about painful behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Perhaps you are feeling sad, angry, anxious, confused, or emotionally paralyzed. You may be unable to control negative thoughts, unhealthy behaviors, a pattern of engaging in unhealthy relationships, or may be repeating destructive patterns. Perhaps you get distressed from memories related to traumatic events.

Highly sensitive people are my specialty. Engaged mutual conversation is my style. Solution focused problem solving is my process. Helping people with high emotional sensitivity develop improved self-perception, more effective coping skills and increased satisfaction in their relationships is a priority in the work I do. Arriving together at new ways of perceiving people and the world opens up possibilities that weren’t accessible before. Integrating exploration into all areas of a clients’ life help provide a holistic framework of understanding, compassion and intentional growth.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
