About Gabrielle Montana

My clients struggle like you do. They live with anxiety- the heart racing, chest tightening, skin crawling, keeps you up all night kind. They often grew up in emotionally and physically unsafe environments, been in inconsistent and unstable relationships, and struggled with their personal identity. Being on guard, people pleasing, and quieting their voice was a means to survive with the least amount of damage. When my clients first come in, they feel ANXIOUS. They don’t know where to start. They minimize their experiences and often say “I’m fine” when really they are living in their own personal hell and trauma is the prison keeper. Let's be real, anxiety is a b!tch. Like my clients, you deserve to live anxiety free - establishing your own rules on life, setting boundaries, and confident in the way you show up in the world. Feeling relief without depending on anyone else’s approval is not out of reach. I'd love to help you get there. I show up as compassionate, authentic, non-judgmental, validating, and direct with my clients. I know how it feels to struggle and the emotional exhaustion of "I should be over this." My goal is to give you a safe space to be seen and heard. A space to honor the raw emotional suckage of trauma and to empower you to ditch anxiety and find your voice.
