Gabrielle has been so amazing with me since I first started with her. I can not thank her enough she's the reason I am now able to go into work again by supporting me when I feel like just giving up."

"Gabby has a talent for knowing when to ask the right questions and an ability to uncover issues in a safe and comfortable way. She is more than a counsellor but a true friend. She is compassionate and genuinely cares about people. She provided a safe and healthy platform for me to discover myself and I will forever be grateful. I would recommend her to anyone who feels they need some guidance, care and support. “

"For over 10 years, various family members young and elderly and in between have received invaluable counseling from Betsi Strasser. Our ongoing sessions have been unquestionably beneficial to our overall togetherness and understanding of one another. For me personally, Betsi has provided steady and consistent support that has allowed me to see my life, my family and all its emotional entanglements from fresh perspectives. In both times of crisis and calm, Betsi's has offered new ideas about old habits that have been ultimately empowering and key to my maturation as a responsible and loving adult. I trust her integrity implicitly and am grateful for her professional assistance with matters both small and silly and those of dire consequence. "

"Gabrielle Bryen and Betsi Strasser have been an invaluable help to my daughter and myself as we navigate the trauma of divorce. Gabrielle's words of support and wisdom have kept me grounded and focused during the most difficult time of my life. Her ability to actively engage in this process right alongside me is invaluable. When I feel lost and hopeless her words of encouragement are like a beacon of hope and light. When my daughter needed support I turned to Gabrielle without hesitation. She directed me to Betsi Strasser, her mother. Betsi has shown the same steadfast support for my daughter that Gabrielle has shown to me. My daughter felt immediately at ease opening up to Betsi and working out some difficult feelings. I cannot say enough about the positive influence Gabrielle and Betsi have been for us. And continue to be. When I look back at this difficult period and think of what got us through, Gabrielle and Betsi will be at the center of that healing. And for that I will be forever grateful. I cannot stress enough how much I strongly recommend these amazing women. This trauma has had some silver linings, and Gabrielle and Betsi are definitely two of them. I am forever grateful for having found them. Thank you."

Gabrielle has a gift. She is unlike any therapist or mental health professional that I know. She has the ability to see through complicated issues and help address them in a way that gives her patients confidence and hope. Gabrielle listens to listen and understand before responding. She was thrown into a difficult situation and was the only person that was able to move us forward. She does not just tell you what you want to hear. She is rational. She is calm. She is able to see situations from all angles. At the end of the day, she picked up the pieces and helped formulate a plan where others just gave up. She is a light and can see the light in others when no one else can. People can change. If you are ready to experience growth and healing and are prepared to leave your old way of being behind, Gabrielle is the person that can guide your path to new beginnings.

I first started working with Gabrielle as my counselor in 2006 while on deployment in Iraq. I still work with her today. She is very understanding and helps me understand and navigate the stressful situations and experiences in life. Gabrielle has also helped me understand and learn how to overcome the traumatic events I have experienced and heal from them. I am grateful to have been blessed with someone who cares as much as she does to help me heal and be able to move forward to many successes in my life. With her continued guidance I will be graduating college this summer as I navigate a taxing situation involving my ex wife and children. I will continue to work with her as my counselor until she retires. I recommend her to anyone who is seeking help to get emotionally and mentally healthy.
