Gabi Siguenza – Clinical Therapist Trainee

Gabi Siguenza is working towards her Master’s of Science in Counseling at Cal State Fullerton. As a Marriage and Family Clinical Trainee Gabi’s focus is to provide a safe space for clients to meet their most authentic self. She believes in the power of releasing shame around the parts of ourselves that we may hide from the world. Gabi’s understanding is that we all develop beliefs as we grow up– be that from a dominant society, our families, or peers– that we begin to outgrow with age. Gabi is committed to helping you shed the skin of what is no longer serving you. She believes in advocating for social justice through her work, and exploring concrete ways we can support one another to bring more love into the world.

Above all else, my role as a therapist is to help you become aware of the powerful role you play in your own life. Without awareness of our own power, we may feel as though we’re wandering through a dark forest without a map. My job is to help you build a map of the present so we may see where you currently are and what direction you want to go.

I believe the present moment holds great power in revealing our deepest desires, beliefs, and emotions. Together, we will ground into the present to explore what parts of you are feeling unseen or neglected. I see people as inherently whole, containing everything they need to bring about peace within themselves– sometimes, all we need is the guidance to return home to the self that we always knew existed.

I will always remain curious about the way your cultural identities show up in your life. To create safety in the therapy room, I am committed to making space for all elements your social locations to be seen and heard. I take a holistic approach to healing, seeing all facets of your identity as worthy and important in your journey home to yourself.
