About Dr. Gabe
My name is Gabe Veas, and as a mental health professional, I look forward to working with you as a new client. I am a Mexican-American, able-bodied, cis gender male from Los Angeles, California, who has been married for nearly two decades. Before my work as a therapist, I was a mentor, professor, lyricist, and clergy-person. In 2017, I was named the first Professor of Mentorship in the United States. Throughout my career, I have sought to be inclusive, most recently serving those from the trans, non-conforming, and intersex communities with the Trans Health & Wellness Center of Palm Springs.
Personally, I am committed to practicing self-care through enjoying life outdoors. I find joy in helping individuals, couples, and families pursue their mental health goals in a non-blaming and non-shaming manner. As a member of the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, I am invested in helping clients experience sexual health, freedom, and healing. I am also passionate about supporting people who are currently & historically experience exclusion & erasure in areas such as ambiguous loss, imposter syndrome and understanding one's identities, experiences, and journeys via narrative therapy. Alongside my Chihuahua named Cancun Veas, I have sought to be an ally those seeking validation, affirmation, and support their animal family members.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a therapist because I want to help clients process trauma and discuss how to manage life's responsibilities day-to-day effectively, just as psychologists have helped me.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
For many of my clients, I was the first mental health professional they connected with voluntarily. I am confident that I can help you where you are and that you will have a supportive person in your corner as you take the initiative down this path. Therapy has played a central role in my life, and I will create a comfortable environment for you that will assist you from the start.
How can you provide care remotely?
I have assisted clients in exploring their identities by dynamically utilizing online therapy. I have incorporated the expressive arts into sessions including photos, music, and play into the treatment to help clients deconstruct their narratives.
