My name is Umi (Umniya Gabbani), and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the founder of The Connection Corner, a therapy practice rooted in the belief that healing happens through safe, authentic connection. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck. You may be navigating anxiety, big emotions, self-doubt, or relationship stress and longing for relief, clarity, and stronger connection. Together, we’ll build practical coping tools, strengthen confidence, and create space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and move forward with intention.
I take a warm, collaborative, and developmentally attuned approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are. Therapy is never one-size-fits-all; I use evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. I value cultural sensitivity, curiosity, and humor, creating a space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered.
Sometimes life brings challenges that feel overwhelming to navigate alone. If you’re curious about starting therapy or wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about your goals and answer any questions you may have. You don’t have to do this alone. I’d be honored to support you.
