Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Meridian, ID

I provide a non-judgemental space for all my clients conducive to their healing process.

My name is Gabby and I started my career with Child Protective Services in my 20s, jump starting my education in legal, education, therapy substance use and other topics that I have continued to study. After leaving CPS, I began by Master in Social Work where I began work at a non-profit supporting families that adopted through the foster care system. After getting a Masters in Social Worker, I moved to Colorado and began working at a Eating Disorder Center. From there, I have spent four years working in psychiatric hospitals leading countless group therapy session and meeting with clients individually. I specialize in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and mindfulness skills.

I have been a small-town private practitioner in Idaho for many years doing lots of different kinds of therapies and evaluations. I believe I am able to connect with the patients and help them in ways they find meaningful.

The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of being human. My passion is to help individuals express, embrace, and empower their whole selves. Through trauma work, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear, and struggle. This helps us reclaim our power and build resilience. This doesn't justify the pain or trauma, but I wholeheartedly believe that the root of our pain is also the source of where our healing begins.

My approach is direct and encouraging. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), and Nutrition Specialist (CMHNS), I am devoted to therapy that explores how trauma shapes the nervous system and influences our mindset, beliefs, and emotional responses. Through continued education in neuroscience and integrative health, I can help you understand the elements of the mind, body, and self. This way, we learn about the unique makeup of your whole self and how these elements manifest in your life. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported individuals navigating complex trauma, including:

• chronic stress, insomnia, and health concerns
• Neurodiversity including head injuries, TBI, ADHD, and ASD
• burnout, people pleasing, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and work-life balance
• emotional, physical, and sexual abuse
• codependency and attachment trauma
• religious, cultural, and generational trauma
• grief, loss, and bereavement

'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and parenting stress. Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood, and I see my role as helping clients make sense of themselves—their experiences, emotions, relationships, and strengths—so they can create meaningful change. As a wife and mother of five children, I understand firsthand the complexities of balancing family, stress, identity, and caregiving.

I’ve been providing counseling since the 1990s. I hold a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I’m also a tenured psychology professor. My clients tend to share certain worries and concerns that might best be summed up as feeling a sense of meaninglessness, being unproductive, and not relating well with others. I work with both individuals and couples. Among my clients are young adults trying to sort things out, medically compromised patients, adults waylaid by life and relationship transitions, and people struggling with anxiety and depression.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than a decade of experience in mental health care. I began my career as a Registered Nurse in 2013, and my work in mental health has shaped my deep commitment to providing compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based care.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals experiencing a variety of mental health concerns. These experiences have taught me that every person’s story is unique, and effective treatment begins with truly listening and understanding the individual behind the diagnosis.

It has been my privilege to provide therapy services to veterans and their families for the past 17 years, and I have been honored to gain a variety of evidence-based therapies to address the conditions of the individuals and families I have worked with over the years. I have a wealth of experience treating many conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions.

I believe that healing happens within a safe and collaborative relationship, and I take pride in being of service to others and feel honored to support individuals and their families as they work toward recovery, resilience, and improved well-being.

I’m Dr. Sean Burson, a licensed therapist in Washington and Idaho. My background includes work in hospice care, ministry, and military settings, which has shaped how I listen and care for people. I bring a grounded, compassionate presence and value building real trust with my clients. I believe our stories deeply shape who we are, and therapy can help us understand and rewrite them with intention and hope.
