Hi, I'm Becky, and I have been practicing for 14 years. I believe some of us are therapists and some of us become one. Given my ability to make people feel comfortable and open up is what makes me a good therapist. Learning the skills I mentioned gives us the ability to change the circumstances in our lives and start to shed some of the anxiety and depression. Ultimately it doesn't feel like a job it just feels like a conversation.

Throughout my career, I have sought to be inclusive, most recently serving those from the trans, non-conforming, and intersex communities with the Trans Health & Wellness Center of Palm Springs.
My name is Gabe Veas, and I find joy in helping individuals, couples, and families pursue their mental health goals in a non-blaming and non-shaming manner. My primary work has assisted clients in exploring their identities by dynamically utilizing online coaching. I have incorporated photos, music, and art into the treatment to help clients deconstruct their narratives. I am committed to lifelong learning by holding membership with several professional groups, including the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, which assists me in helping clients experience sexual health, freedom, and healing.

You may be feeling like something is wrong but aren’t sure why. Perhaps others see you as successful but to you it feels like something is missing. Maybe you are shouldering the weight of anxiety, stress, or self-doubt that can often cause our worlds to shrink. I will meet you in that place and we will work together to dig our way out. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, healing from past trauma, grappling with dissatisfaction in career or relationships, and facing life transitions. I bring my authentic self to our sessions and care about creating a space where you feel safe and affirmed in your identity.

So much of what life brings us is beyond our control- childhood trauma, loss of our loved ones, difficult transitions that we must make in order to remain true to ourselves or genes that make us susceptible to mental health disorders. In our busy lives, we sometimes forget to take a step back to re-evaluate how we are caring for our mind and heart. 2020 seemed like a call to action for the world to look inward and redefine goals such as our life style, career choices, relationship dynamics and tired old behaviors that get in our way over and over again.

I believe in meeting a client where they are at and partnering with them to meet their goals. I believe that it is not just my job to "treat the symptoms" but to help you find lasting change and give you the skills to continue to grow and maintain that change long after our time together. I've worked in some form of human services since 2000. I started as a Social Worker in the community working with foster and probation youth and progressed to private foster care.

If you want to get or keep a job, make friends or find a romantic partner, learn daily living skills needed to live independently, succeed at college, deal with sensory challenges, or recover from burnout – and remain true to your authentic self – we offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to explore whether we are a fit to work together.
We understand the impact of being neurodivergent (autistic, ASD, PDA, ADHD, gifted, 2e, dyslexic, dysgraphic, dyscalculic) in a world built for neurotypicals. Because the world is not designed for neurodivergent people, daily life is often more difficult due to neurological differences that impact communication, executive functioning, sensory regulation, and learning.

“Stress is not the enemy in our lives. Paradoxically, it is the key to growth”. Stress is inevitable. However, if we can learn how to deal with our feelings and stress, we may convert negative situations into opportunities to become better and stronger. As a therapist, I use EMDR and evidence-based therapy modalities (DBT, CBT, solution-focused, etc) to help my clients manage the stress caused by relationship issues, trauma, disordered eating/body image, anxiety, life transitions, behavioral problems, career/school stress, anger, and more.
