When we experience difficult emotions, or difficult things happen to us, it strikingly shapes the lens in which we view the world, our relationships, and our sense of self. We can feel stuck and trapped in our pain, which can cause our range of behaviors to narrow to ones that help us survive the moment, but don’t help us move beyond it, or towards the things that matter to us the most. 

I’m Gabi Miano, and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) trained in evidence-based practices, I strive to help people understand their emotional and behavioral patterns and work towards behaviors that can generate meaning and purpose. 

The therapies that I use help treat OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and more.  I utilize an empathic and nonjudgmental stance, and aim to compassionately recognize the function of behaviors, and why they might make sense in the past and present.  The evidence-based practices I use will include learning skills to help foster more flexible and effective responses to painful and difficult thoughts and feelings. I firmly believe in tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs and goals, and believe our collaboration and therapeutic relationship is essential in this process. My hope is that together we can create a space where you can relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings and create change in their presence.  

Please visit the “Treatment” section to learn more about the types of disorders I treat and the treatments I use. If you’re interested in setting up a call to discuss therapy and see if you and I might be a good fit, please schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation with me here.
