Personal Statement

Gabrielle Gurtz, LCPC specializes in working with families with children faced with special needs. Her mission is to restore hope, reduce stress, reframe negative issues, promote self-forgiveness and facilitate awareness, so that each family member can live a happier, more productive life. Her goal is to provide individuals, couples and families with tools to empower themselves and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. She believes that counseling is a collaborative endeavor that takes place in a supportive, empathetic environment.

In such an environment, we can work together to address current issues, identify solutions and strengthen skills as well as relationships. She aims to rid the social isolation, felt by so many families with special needs. I am committed to uniting and facilitating bonds among numerous families faced with special needs.
