My name is Gabriel Ceballos Franco; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a licensed psychologist in the Republic of Colombia, South America. I am also a National Certified Counselor by the National Board of Certified Counselors Inc. I am a multicultural, sensitive, and evidence-based psychotherapist who ensures that my methods are rooted in the latest research and best practices and who uses the philosophical concepts of existentialism as the baseline of his practice.
My approach
My therapeutic approach, rooted in constructivism and existentialism, is a collaborative journey. We work together to address the roots that manifest as symptoms in your everyday life, empowering you to embark on a new life beyond old emotional, behavioral, and emotional constraints. You are the one who can create meaning in your life, and I'm here to guide and support you, putting you in the driver's seat of your transformation.
My focus
My psychotherapy services, offered in both English and Spanish, are deeply rooted in an individualized approach. I have had the privilege of working with adults who are interested in creating a new paradigm and life, one that is uniquely built on their concepts and beliefs. I have also worked with individuals who are on a journey to understand themselves beyond societal constraints. Each client is unique, and I strive to understand and value their individuality in our work together.
My communication style
I am a welcoming partner in your life journey, valuing your unique perspective and experiences. I am not here as an expert on you or someone who pretends to know everything about life. Instead, I am a curious and welcoming companion in your life exploration toward wholeness. Together, we can share and learn from each other, using the skills and tools my profession offers to reach your goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
What drew me to the field of therapy was not just the intellectual challenge of understanding the human mind and its construction of reality, but also a deep-seated desire to alleviate suffering and help others find joy in their lives. This empathy, cultivated from an early age, has been a guiding light in my personal and professional journey.
My goals for you
You are in control of your therapy journey. What you feel is preventing you from reaching your life goals or causing difficulties is what we can focus on. I am here to listen, understand, and support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
My first session with you
In an honest and open conversation, I am here to listen and give you the time and space to hear about how you experience your pain or struggle. It is about what you think and hope about your life.
