Gibelle Acosta, LCSW
Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to make therapy a place where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood from the very beginning. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings and challenges and work towards meaningful change.
I have worked primarily with children and adolescents, as well as adults and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional stress. As a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish, I am passionate about providing culturally responsive care. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. I incorporate evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills and break negative habits, and achieve personal growth.
Whether you’re seeking support during a difficult time, healing from past experiences, or working toward personal growth, I am committed to helping you feel empowered and supported on your journey toward greater well-being!
Buscar apoyo puede ser uno de los pasos más difíciles, y me esfuerzo por hacer la terapia un espacio donde te sientas cómodo/a, escuchado/a y comprendido/a desde el primer momento. Ofrezco un ambiente de apoyo y libre de juicios donde puedes explorar tus sentimientos y desafíos mientras trabajamos juntos hacia cambios significativos.
He trabajado principalmente con niños y adolescentes, y también adultos y familias que enfrentan ansiedad, depresión, trauma, transiciones de vida, dificultades en las relaciones y estrés emocional. Como terapeuta bilingüe en inglés y español, me apasiona brindar una atención culturalmente sensible y adaptada a las necesidades únicas de cada persona. Mi enfoque es colaborativo, centrado en las fortalezas y personalizado para ayudarte a alcanzar tus metas. Integro tratamientos basados en evidencia, incluyendo la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC), la Terapia Dialéctico-Conductual (DBT) y la Entrevista Motivacional (EM), para ayudar a mis clientes a crecer resiliencia, fortalecer habilidades de afrontamiento saludables y romper hábitos poco saludables, y lograr un crecimiento personal.
Ya sea que estés buscando apoyo durante un momento difícil, sanando de experiencias pasadas o trabajando en tu crecimiento personal, estoy comprometida a ayudarte a sentirte fortalecido/a y acompañado/a en tu camino hacia un mejor bienestar!
