Getting to know Gabriel Birkby

Hi there, I'm Gabriel! I am Gabriel Birkby, a licensed mental health counselor in NYS. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Bachelor’s degree from SUNY Geneseo. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I cannot wait to help you take those first steps toward your goals! My approach Using evidence-based techniques, we'll work together to identify the issues you prioritize. Your strengths will be leveraged to make progress toward goals that you set in therapy. I use CBT, as well as other interventions that best suit your needs. I have experience working with life issues of all kinds. Whatever your problems, let's take them on together. My focus I work with people who have been struggling with depression and anxiety, especially trauma-related anxiety. People I work with are encouraged to voice their needs and participate actively in their treatment. My communication style I create a completely open space, allowing for exploration of your inner and outer world. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist after working with people in residential care facilities. Having experienced the need for safe spaces to process emotions, it was clear that I could help people find this space and use it to heal and grow. I do this work because I love to help, and I love talking about human experience. My goals for you We will set goals using a S.M.A.R.T. template. This is a great way to set up and execute specific, measurable, attainable, relevant goals that fit into a workable timeframe. My first session with you During our first sessions, we will dig into what your current issues are. From there, we will collaborate to create a plan for your treatment, specifying your goals and laying out a path to achieve them.
