Meet Gabriela Heigl
LMFT
Hi, I’m Gabriela
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I have counseling experience in the areas of mental health as well as faith integration, anxiety, grief, marital and premarital issues, self esteem/identity, peer relationships, trauma & PTSD.
I am passionate about biblical counseling and incorporating a client’s faith as they navigate difficulty.
I strive to help my clients identify and dismantle unhelpful ways of thinking and relating to themselves and others, as they navigate some of the most difficult times of their lives. I enjoy equipping my clients with knowledge about their brains and bodies to provide clarity in the midst of their distress. My clients gain more compassion, awareness and knowledge throughout our work together and leave with a greater sense of clarity and peace.
I serve females and couples as they navigate anxiety and recovery from emotional and relational wounds.
*Currently accepting new patients.

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling helps improve life by addressing unhealthy patterns, enhancing mood, reducing anxiety and depression, and fostering better relationships. It is a valuable experience for everyone during tough times, transitions, and life challenges, providing essential support for finding joy and contentment.
Youth Counseling
Youth counseling can be individual or involve parents, siblings, or other key figures. We offer a safe space for adolescents and teens to discuss relationship dynamics, fears, school stress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. It’s an opportunity to improve family communication when parents seek to connect with their child.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is an exercise that monitors your brain activity and provides feedback to improve efficiency in various life areas. It is a therapy based on biofeedback and neuroscience principles. Practitioners monitor brain waves to identify imbalances and help you adopt healthier thought patterns, leading to lasting beneficial changes. Neurofeedback effectively treats a wide variety of symptoms.
Relationship Counseling
Relationship counseling can improve progress when both partners participate. It helps enhance communication, heal from betrayal, develop skills for attachment, identify unhelpful patterns, and change behaviors. Ultimately, it strengthens relationships, builds intimacy, and repairs bonds.
