You’ve been looking for a therapist for a while. You really want a good fit, someone with whom you don’t have to explain the basics of what it means to be gay, trans, or another part of the LGBTQ community. You dread the silent judgement of people for the multitude of ways your relationship(s) look. Maybe you feel like your family continues to affect the way you live your life, and their beliefs are holding you back from living a life that is genuine, joyful and unique. You want someone who understands living in the crossroads of being a person of color, and being queer. You’re anxious, you’re depressed, you need someone to just listen.

I have been in your shoes- and you are not alone.

Hi. My name is Gabryel Tobias Gutierrez. I was raised in an immigrant family,and am fully bilingual in Spanish. I am proudly out as trans and also identify as a queer man. I received my M.S in Clinical Psychology from San Francisco State University in 2017. My practice focuses on healing through corrective, healthy connections. I aim to make my sessions a warm and comforting space. I approach therapy from a Solution Focused therapy framework. No problem, no matter how deep and heavy, is happening all the time. You have strengths and unique experiences that have gotten you here, to this website, looking for help despite it being so much easier to do nothing at all. Together, we will amplify your current strengths and help you make changes that you need. 

I was trained in a Psychodynamic approach, and as such, I genuinely believe in the power of empathy, and re-experiencing foundational relationships. I use humor and deep reflective work to help you see your current life in new ways, and shape your future into a life you want to be leading. We will work closely together to find goals for your growth that feel meaningful, and achievable.

I can’t wait to meet you.
