Meet Dove.

Dove Gadkar (she/her)

Sometimes clients experience big emotions, and don’t know what to do with them. They aren’t sure where these emotions came from, how to appropriately react to them, and not let it impact their days. They feel stuck and wish for a way to move forward.  

I utilize a highly specialized and personalized approach throughout the therapeutic process to not only meet the clients where they are at but also support them using evidence-based techniques. I am committed to a BIPOC friendly, neurodivergent-affirming, and queer welcoming safe space where clients can be seen and celebrated for exactly who they are.

I strive to create an empowering, comfortable, and encouraging environment where clients feel safe to dig deep into their lives, and feel supported on their journey forward.
