Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Saginaw, MI

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.

Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and I’m passionate about helping people feel better, both physically and mentally.

I got into healthcare because I genuinely care about people and wanted to make a meaningful difference in their lives. Over time, I’ve developed a strong interest in the connection between physical health, mental health, and substance use, and I’ve dedicated my practice to treating the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, so I focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative; I listen first, then work with you to build a plan that fits your life, your goals, and your pace.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, going through a tough time, or working toward recovery, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more balanced, and more like yourself again.

I’m committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based practices, but just as importantly, I’m committed to showing up for my clients as a real person who cares. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

I’m an easygoing, approachable therapist and a good listener. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story and talking openly about what brought you to therapy. I’m interested in understanding your goals, where you want your life to go, and what changes you would like to make.

I also believe that understanding where we’ve come from can help us better understand where we are today. Our life experiences can shape the way we think, make decisions, and approach relationships and challenges. By exploring those experiences together, we can begin to understand what may be holding you back and identify healthier ways to move forward.

I received my Bachelor’s (BA)in Criminal Justice (with a minor in Psychology) and Master’s degree in Counseling (MA) from Central Michigan University. After graduation, I started working with Community Mental Health, where I expanded my trainings and certifications. Since working with CMH I have been able to work with a large population of individuals with different challenges such as substance use, bereavement, trauma, domestic violence, family matters, and life goals. I am certified in DBT and DBT PE. I specialize in Behavioral Health, Personality Disorders, and Trauma Therapy. I have experience working with all ages from school age to geriatric clients.
