Gabino is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) who has completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method for couples therapy. He works with adolescents, adults, and couples.
Gabino has worked across a wide range of settings, including education and special education, high-acuity and residential treatment centers, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. He also has experience in hospice grief counseling, helping clients process grief and anticipatory grief, spousal loss, and the challenges of caring for a terminally ill loved one. He supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life and career transitions, as well as those with a dual diagnosis or personality disorder.
Gabino’s approach begins person-centered and humanistic, and becomes more integrative as therapy
progresses, shaped by each client’s needs, context, challenges, and goals. He takes time to understand each client’s history, values and beliefs, family of origin, life goals, and struggles within themselves or in their relationships. He recognizes that everyone can feel stuck or overwhelmed at times, and that the way we see ourselves and our internal dialogue shape how we navigate life. His hope is that clients gain insight into themselves and others, heal, overcome challenges, and build the coping skills to become the person they want to be, with intention and meaning.
Gabino firmly believes that people can overcome challenges and grow, that we have the power of choice, and that we can rewrite our stories with intent. In his view, understanding and accepting the journey we have been on can make us stronger.
