Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Idaho

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 specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Panic disorder and mood disorders. I also offer ADHD testing for children and adults online and in-person. I offer both medication management and therapy.

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

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 am a therapist that welcomes all, humbly, and strives to build community with those I encounter. You are welcome here, however you may be.
