Getting to know Gahensha Pinckombe
Hello! I'm glad that you have decided to give therapy a chance and work towards your self-development! My name is Gahensha, and I identify as a first-generation, queer, Black man. Given that I hold these identities, I like to believe that I understand the obstacles and intricacies of seeking out support for one's mental health. While it certainly is not an easy feat, it is one that you will be glad that you set out to accomplish once you make it out on the other side.
I specialize in treating depression and anxiety in high-performing individuals across the life spectrum. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Regis College, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in evidence-based treatments.
I take the mental well-being of my clients seriously, so I do my best to stay current with evidence-based treatments and other resources. I then implement them into my practice to increase your chances of success and to help you feel empowered to overcome your barriers. I value a collaborative approach to ensure that everyone who is involved feels comfortable and ready to work. Throughout the healing process, I pull from a few treatment approaches depending on your needs. If you are looking to start your journey towards a version of yourself that is happier and healthier, I would love to work alongside you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
If you choose to work with me, first and foremost, you can expect to find yourself in an environment that is encouraging and validating. I welcome you to show up fully as you are--the good, the bad, and the ugly! I conduct my sessions in a semi-structured fashion meaning that our sessions will mainly be talk therapy with homework (reading or worksheets) assigned when necessary. While there will be active listening on my end, I will be asking reflective questions, teaching you skills, and highlighting contextual factors that you might have overlooked.

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.
