Gabriel Vando

BA, MSW Intern

Navigating complex life challenges or substance use recovery can often leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward.

My name is Gabriel Vando, BA, MSW Intern, and I support individuals who are navigating complex mental health concerns, substance use recovery, and major life transitions. Working in case management and clinical support, my goal is to help you build daily stability, connect with essential resources, and create lasting growth.

My background includes hands-on experience in behavioral health and relapse prevention. I have worked closely with diverse populations, including immigrant families and individuals facing language, financial, or systemic barriers to care.

My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and practical problem-solving. I focus on providing a respectful, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely heard as we work toward your goals at a pace that fits your life.
