About Gabriel Tijerina
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, motivated, and supported; Especially when you’re facing the emotional weight of anxiety or major life changes. My goal is to walk alongside you with care and clarity while helping you build the skills to take back control and live more fully.
I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes utilizing evidence-based therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered, DBT, ACT, and EMDR. Therapy with me is collaborative and action-oriented; We’ll work together to challenge negative beliefs, increase self-understanding, and build real, lasting change.
I bring energy and empathy into every session because I want therapy to feel like something you look forward to. We can do hard work and still laugh, reflect, and grow in the process.
When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll probably find me on a pickleball court, around a board game table, or finding ways to stay active and connected with others. I believe that healing and joy can exist side-by-side. I’m here to help you find both.
