I also enjoy helping clients navigate difficult life transitions, manage stress, and improve work-life balance.

Are you feeling anxious, sad, angry, stressed, or overwhelmed and unsure on how to feel better?

I'm here to help guide you to becoming your best version of you. Whether you are looking for a therapist to help you through a difficult life transition, support with a family member struggling with mental illness, or any other challenge big or small, I'm here to support you.

We all carry within us younger versions of ourselves - remarkable beings who have helped you navigate a whole lot to get you to where you are today. I connect with, nurture, and lift up these younger selves. I believe developing a deep connection to ourselves, understanding and holding compassion for all the ways we were taught to survive, and connecting authentically to others is how we break cycles and lean into a richer life.

In my family practice, I often work with children, teens and parents following a meaningful loss, through the challenges of a life transition or a period of anxiety and stress. Many of my clients are processing grief and loss, which comes in may forms.

New beginnings can often be disguised as painful endings. I work closely with those who have been through tragic events, suffered childhood abuse, those who have been victimized by others, as well as those who might feel like they have nowhere left to turn. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, and to courageously be free to display it and be proud. I am empathetic to my client’s needs, ambitious to provide support, and offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share and truly be heard.

Life’s journey can be overwhelming, laden with worries, stress, and self-doubt. Navigating the complexities of life’s transitions may leave us feeling exhausted, confused, and disconnected. I am dedicated to supporting you during both times of change and times of stagnation. Together we will explore your emotions, embrace your strengths and values, cultivate healthier relationships and connections, and empower you to excel in life.

We all have hard times and moments of loneliness, but a good support system helps us be resilient. We all deserve support and care as we work through things, but reaching out to friends and loved ones can be scary. If you're having trouble finding or keeping support and intimacy, or if you feel consumed by fears and low self-esteem, then it can be hard to get the connection and love you deserve. As a marriage and family therapist, I can help. I focus on helping my clients create close, supportive relationships with their loved ones, (and with themselves) so that they have the support they need to overcome challenges and flourish.

After practicing psychotherapy for seventeen years at UCLA and Cornell University, I've come to realize that as human beings, we make the most change when we're able to harness the power of positive thinking and doing. A positive mind leads to resilience, self-confidence, and sustained happiness. Contrary to what you may believe, ordinary people like you and me can learn positive psychology. It isn't as hard as you think because we're born with the ability to heal ourselves and succeed in life. It's something to experience and discover for yourself. Happiness IS possible.

Life can be very difficult and relationships can be the source of much joy, but also of much pain. Talking about your problems with a non-judgmental, understanding, caring, and well-trained professional can help with life's questions, pain, and problems.

Hello! My name is Gabi L. Deak, LCSW which stands for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. This also means that I am a licensed Professional Psychotherapist. I have been in this business for over 22 years. I have both worked at a hospital psychiatric unit and I had my own private practice. Throughout my professional career, I have use two models of psychotherapy. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is one of the most effective therapies to date. I also use Schema Therapy, which is a deeper level of therapy based on CBT. In a nutshell, these two therapies are extremely practical and hands on.

I am a certified CBT therapist specializing in depression, anxiety, OCD, difficulty with emotions, and life transitional issues.

I am dedicated to, and extremely passionate about assisting people to develop more meaning, success, and pleasure in their life. By working collaboratively we can recognize challenges, identify treatment goals, and develop skills to improve the quality of your life.

Here's what I want you to know: You were born ready and able to be happy, and have a satisfying life--that's natures way. And, yet, at any point in life there can be many 'causes & reasons' for life turning in a different direction; and there can be many kinds of 'symptoms & behaviors’ that emerge when things go sideways; and when this occurs, we all can use some support to get back on track. For right now, just know that reaching for support is itself a sign of strength, and is also built into our human nature.
