Gabriel Most (LCSW)

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp. Now that you have taken the first step to finding the right therapist, the following is a little bit about myself to help you determine whether my credentials, style and areas of expertise are a good fit for you. I am a LCSW working as a therapist for over twenty-five years in NYC. I obtained my degree from CUNY Hunter College in New York. I also graduated with a Nursing degree from the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in 2012. I believe strongly that our mind/body connection affects the way we live our lives. The better we feel about our mental health the easier it is to make good, sound decisions in all areas of our lives. Our mental and physical health are connected and are contingent on one another for continued growth and change. A great deal of my practice and work has focused on a few areas. I have worked with people who are struggling with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Grief and Addictions. I have focused on LGBTQ+ issues and young adults struggling with relationship, trauma, and career issues. I am passionate about my work and recognize that starting counseling isn’t necessarily an easy task, but it is a partnership that requires compassion, commitment, availability and trust. My approach is varied depending on the situation and goal that you have set for yourself. I am comfortable and skilled working with a Behavioral Modification approach, Psychodynamic perspectives, Mind/Body techniques, Crisis Intervention and Existential Therapy. No two people are alike and each individual will respond to a various combination of different types of care. What’s most important is that you feel understood, safe, and know that you can share anything and that it will be received with non-judgement, compassion, care and a focus on solutions. I live by the motto of “Carpe Diem”. Seize the day! Time is a precious commodity and we do not get to push back time. No time like the present to invest in yourself and achieve your goals. I look forward to hearing from you.
