Gabbie Wynschenk, LMFT
Gabbie is a queer therapist who lives and loves alternatively herself. They are a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Board Certified Sexologist, and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional with years of experience working with individuals, relationships, and families navigating a wide-range of topics.
Gabbie’s therapeutic passions include: working with fellow members of the queer community, people of alternative relationship styles and structures (poly/CNM/kink), and individuals or families touched by addiction. They are person-centered, affirming, non-judgmental, and passionate about what they do. In addition to her clinical work, she is equally driven to educate and supervise new providers.
As a post-modern systems thinker, Gabbie is constantly thinking about social constructivism and how we as humans exist in a context we all co-create. The rules and roles of our society, or as Gabbie calls them, "the should's", impose norms that don't reflect most of our authentic wants and needs. Many of us carry deep shame & attachment injury simply for existing in a world not built with us in mind. These notions frame much of how Gabbie conceptualizes everything.
They take a non-pathologizing approach to therapy that leaves plenty of space for the innate capacity humans have to grow and change. They consider intergenerational trauma, family rules and roles, and relational learning over time in conceptualizing every "problem" and "solution". Clients can anticipate a spiritually-informed, person-centered, & an always expansive approach.
