Gabe Bewley, LCMHCA

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, I bring a unique blend of professional

experiences and personal insights to this field. With a background in law enforcement and the

Army, I have spent significant time supporting colleagues through trauma and crisis, facing

firsthand the toll it can take on mental well-being. My experience through this challenging

terrain has ignited a passion within me to transition into mental health counseling—a field where

I can continue to provide invaluable support to individuals navigating life's complexities.

I believe it is important to cultivate a safe, trusting, and hopeful environment—a space where

clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and embark on a journey of healing and

growth. I firmly believe in the transformative power of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),

which serves as a cornerstone of my training. By helping clients identify and reframe unhelpful

thought patterns, CBT equips them with practical tools to manage challenges, improve

relationships, and foster resilience. Additionally, my training in Eye Movement Desensitization

and Reprocessing (EMDR) allows me to support clients in processing distressing memories and

reducing the emotional intensity of past experiences. By integrating EMDR into my practice, I

help individuals move beyond cognitive understanding to deeper emotional healing, facilitating

lasting change.

In my work, I engage with individuals and facilitate groups, drawing upon my background to

tailor interventions that address their unique needs. Whether supporting adults navigating life

transitions or anyone struggling with anxiety and depression, I am committed to walking

alongside them with empathy, compassion, and unwavering support.

My mission is to create a space where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery,

healing, and transformation. Guided by empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practice

principles, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

"The past affects the present even without our being aware of it, and EMDR helps bring those

past experiences into awareness and reprocess them, so they no longer hold power over us." —
