Getting to know Angel Gavilanes
Award winning Therapist backed by 18 years of clinical training, 7 years of therapy experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. I help professionals heal from burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma while reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.
I believe real change happens when therapy moves beyond insight and leads to action. It’s not just talk, it’s real progress. My goal is to help you deeply understand the root of your struggles, build practical skills, and create meaningful improvements that last long after therapy ends.
As someone who’s sat on the other side of the therapy room, I bring not only clinical training, but real, lived experience.
I use a combination of practices including EMDR, Person Centered Therapy, CBT, CPT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I am known to provide a space of trust and free of judgment which will allow you to explore your present and past safely and comfortably.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our first session, I will ensure you feel safe and heard. I would like to clarify realistic expectations of each other. For example, I would like to know what you expect therapy to be like and what you want to get out of it. I will describe how I can help with your growth or problem. I will review some of your history with you and seek clarity to begin to get to know who you are and how life has been for you. Next, we will begin to understand what you want to improve, what you want out of life and start to discuss how to achieve it.
I work best with those of you who are ready to get help with your struggles of managing emotions, stress or those who have experienced an event so stressful or hurtful, that you cannot get it out of your mind or cannot stop the painful feelings. I also work well and enjoy working with individuals who simply want to grow by being better people, better communicators, better problem solvers, and who want to be better friends and better family members.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
