Client Reviews

“Astoundingly helpful”
“Gabrielle McMurphy has been astoundingly helpful to me and helped me improve my mindset and situation in a short period of time. She brings relevant concepts and topics to the table to discuss and considers your concerns and situation seriously and carefully. Could not be happier with my therapist.”

“Able to see root causes”
“She’s helped me more than any other therapist/counselor with coming to terms with and reframing my bad habits. She recognized the shame I was internalizing that I didn’t even realize I had and recognized that learning self-compassion would help me. She’s able to see root causes of my struggles that I couldn’t see by myself. […] Overall, she’s very insightful, and she’s good at explaining things […] that’s given me real hope again.”

“Pays respect to the individual”
“In only a short amount of time in having her as a therapist, Gabrielle has already shown a willingness to shift and move as I need her to in order to feel personally affirmed and encouraged. It feels like she listens and responds in a way that pays respect to the individual and doesn’t have a list of pre-loaded responses regardless of who she’s speaking to. She’s been a big help so far.”

“Easy to trust”
“Easy to trust, provided useful prompts to look for solutions customized to you, and shared a lot of information that helped me with my relationship with ADHD.”
