Getting to know Gabriela Montes

Hi there, I'm Gabriela! Hello! My name is Gabriela Montes. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, with a Master's in Counseling from California State University, Dominguez Hills. My goal is to come alongside my clients as they face challenges and ensure they feel supported and empowered to make progress and start feeling better. Overall, I have a warm and empathetic approach. It is important to me to meet each client where they are in their healing journey. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client. I have experience using the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused, Client-Centered, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Overall, my goal is to meet the needs of each individual client and provide a safe space for processing and healing. My focus In my experience as a therapist, I have found that my style and approach work well with adults dealing with the challenges of life. Oftentimes, these challenges can present as anxiety, depression, stress, difficult life transitions, family conflict, parenting challenges, and self-esteem challenges. My goal is to explore and collaborate with each client to develop a plan that is specific to their therapy needs. My communication style My communication style is empathetic, compassionate, warm, and calm. My goal is that each client feels comfortable, heard, and respected during our sessions. As a therapist, I provide a safe space for each client and listen and offer feedback without judgment. My first session with you During our first session, I will listen without judgment and provide you with valuable information you may need or ask to start your therapy journey. I will ask several questions to ensure I am familiar with your situation and can tailor therapy to fit your needs. I will demonstrate support, empathy, and compassion as I learn more about you.
