Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Jackson, MI

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and

individuals, I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach.

Hello! I would love to meet you to see if our partnership is a good fit. I love helping adults navigate healing from trauma, anxiety, depression and the challenges that come from just being human. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University. I am also a married mom of 6. When I am not working, I enjoy camping, warm days at the beach, gardening and watching the animals on our small farm. I love reading and learning. I'm "that nerd" who loves sharing the latest research or why our brains may react in different ways. I have twelve years of experience working with individuals, couples and families battling addiction, mental health and co-occurring disorders. I also have six years of experience working with adults of varying physical, emotional and cognitive abilities in a residential setting.

Welcome! I’m a compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience and a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide warm, supportive telehealth care for individuals of all ages, offering thoughtful, personalized treatment to meet your unique mental health needs.

Hi there, and thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Gabi, and I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During my graduate training, I focused on mastering Aaron Beck’s CBT approach, which continues to guide my work in helping clients develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and am credentialed to provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) therapy. I completed advanced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) training through the Dialectical Behavioral Institute in Michigan, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also hold specialized certifications in ADHD (CCSP), anger management (CSAM), anxiety treatment (CCATP), and mood disorders.

My clinical experience includes work as a residential therapist, in a faith-based private practice, facilitating counseling services in correctional facilities, and in hospital emergency psychiatric units supporting individuals in crisis. I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists.

I primarily work with adults 18 and older, offering a safe, supportive, and professional environment. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating CBT and DBT techniques to promote balance, resilience, and personal growth.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience treating adolescents, adults of all ages, families, and couples. I primarily use EMDR and Internal Family Systems treatment methods in my practice. I also incorporate techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT and other evidence based practices.

I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.

I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.

Hi. I'm glad you're here. The decision to ask for help is a brave and difficult choice, and I'm proud of you for making it. I might be a good fit for you if you're looking for someone who has been where you're at. In addition to my own experiences with mental health and life challenges, I have worked in substance use disorder treatment, inpatient psychiatric treatment, and community risk assessment/management.

In my approach to counseling, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as the main approaches to counseling. It is important that each client's needs are met through their counseling experience, therefore, counseling is not limited to the above approaches. Biblical principles are also used as an approach to counseling. Counseling will be provided to a diverse population of individuals. Optimum health and healing is possible if you are willing to do the work! Be Willing!

I am a mental health professional who integrates evidence based practices with a Christ Like worldview to support healing, growth, restoration and transformation. True wellness and stability includes all aspects of the person that includes the mind, body, and spirit, and I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I value providing services to help individuals navigate the the challenging journey of life and offer a non judgemental space where clients can be open, vulnerable and honest about any challenges that they may be facing.

I have been a practicing therapist and school social worker for the past 33 years. I have extensive experience with helping children, adults and families find solution-oriented strategies to help ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. My goal is to help others improve their quality of life at every stage from childhood into adulthood.

I am a licensed professional counselor who is passionate about helping people feel understood, supported, and equipped to create meaningful change in their lives. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, and challenges with anger or emotional regulation.

I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgement. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. I value authenticity, collaboration, and building a strong therapeutic relationship, because real change happens when you feel safe and supported.
