Nashville Therapy Group

Gabriel Starner, LMFT

Director of the East Nashville Office

 

Everything you need is already inside you. Now it’s time to uncover it.

 

I am a caring and empathetic person who has a heart for helping people reach their full potential. As a therapist, I seek to work collaboratively with clients in establishing treatment goals. My hope is that clients will learn new and healthier ways of living and gain a greater ability to treat both themselves and others with compassion.

It takes courage to step into the therapy room, so I work to provide a disarming and open space for clients to share. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and I enjoy helping clients learn to think, feel, and act in new, productive ways in order for them to become the people they hope to be.

Clinical Experience

I have worked in academic, non-profit, and private practice settings where I've gathered extensive training and experience using a wide variety of interventions and treatment models. I practice an integrative, evidence-based approach to therapy that blends philosophy with psychology. If you’re ready to have deep conversations about what it means to be a human being living your life in today’s world, I’m the therapist for you. I welcome the opportunity to work with everyone, especially those who are coming in with the desire and motivation to change. My clinical approach is further informed by my background in the creative arts.

Clinical Specialties

My areas of special clinical interest include: depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem, relationship issues, and working with LGBTQ+ clients. My practice is evidence-based and influenced by various theoretical orientations including cognitive-behavioral therapy, Bowenian family systems, and mindful self-compassion.
