Nicole Gabbay
My mission is to help people facing mental health challenges, specifically those who feel caught in a cycle of struggling with setting boundaries, feeling lost or uncertain about the next steps, and having difficulties with interpersonal relationships. This is your time to feel seen and heard. I'm dedicated to helping clients uncover the root cause of their suffering, and I offer insight into your maladaptive behaviors. Together, we will facilitate an understanding of underlying issues contributing to the dissatisfaction you're facing in your life.
I recognize the significance healthy relationships play on our psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being, and I'll provide support to you if you're struggling to cope with romantic relationships, experiencing repetitive patterns, and navigating crisis management situations with a loved one. I'm committed to your well-being, even if you don't feel you can do that on your own. I'll help you realize that the most important relationship you have, is the relationship with yourself!
You can expect guidance, engaging dialogue, and a direct yet compassionate interaction. My goal is to empower you to be direct and vulnerable, ensuring each session leaves you with newfound insights into your behaviors. I am here to challenge and support you, facilitating your recovery toward personal growth and fulfillment.
