Gabby Barnholdt is a Student at Dallas Theological Seminary. Her passion for counseling began during her summers serving at Pine Cove Christian Camps and continued to grow through her work with students at the Watermark Institute in Dallas, TX. Through these experiences, she developed a deep awareness of the emotional burdens people carry and a growing desire to walk with others through both hardship and healing.

As a counselor, Gabby seeks to create a warm, safe space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and cared for. She values counseling that is rooted in relationship and believes that trust and authentic connection are essential to the therapeutic process. With the hope of Christ at the center of her work, Gabby desires to walk alongside clients with compassion and steadiness as they pursue healing, clarity, and growth in their stories.
