Gabriel Starner, LMFT

I am a compassionate therapist, here to listen, understand, and guide individuals on their journey toward acceptance, change, and growth.

My work as a therapist is a blending of psychology and philosophy, and commonly covers religious trauma and deconstruction, LGBTQ+ clients, self-esteem & shame, relationship issues & couples therapy, life transitions, ENM clients, and many more areas. My mission is to support clients in their quest for growth, self-discovery, and transformation, and to to help clients confront and embrace the inherent uncertainties of life, fostering resilience and a deeper sense of purpose.

Self disclosure: I am queer and I fully affirm and celebrate the existence and flourishing of LGBTQ+ people. If you are an LGBTQ+ person looking for a queer therapist, I would be honored to work with you.

Growth and acceptance are really difficult to achieve, and they are beautiful, worthy aspirations for ourselves and those we love. I recognize the profound courage it takes to confront one’s inner world, and I strive to create a safe, affirming, and open space for genuine exploration. If you’re seeking meaningful conversations about the essence and complexity of being human and what it is to be a conscious animal on a giant rock flying through space, I am the therapist for you.

I have experience working in academic, non-profit, and private practice settings, where I've acquired comprehensive training in a wide range of interventions and treatment models. My approach to therapy is client-centered and integrative, in an attempt to honor the nuance and complexity of the client's experience. I welcome the opportunity to work with everyone, especially those who are motivated and ready for change. My clinical approach is also enriched by my background in the creative arts, which adds depth and creativity to my practice.
