Therapy That Works!

Life Compass Consulting is a place where adolescents and families feel supported, understood, and guided through the challenges of recovery from substance use and compulsive gambling. We understand how overwhelming these struggles can feel—for teens who may be unsure of who they are becoming, and for families who want to help but don’t always know how.

 

Our out-of-pocket model allows us to offer therapy that is flexible, private, and truly individualized, without the limitations that often come with insurance-based care. Every session is designed to meet adolescents where they are, helping them slow down impulsive behaviors, build healthier coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self and direction.

 

With over 15 years of experience in the counseling field, Allen Gabriel, LCADC, brings a steady, compassionate, and relatable approach to working with teens and their families. Holding a Master’s degree in Psychology, Allen specializes in adolescent substance use recovery and compulsive gambling, focusing not just on stopping behaviors—but on helping young people understand why they turn to them and how to build a life that no longer depends on escape or risk.

 

Allen is also a published author and has been featured in New York Fashion Week, bringing creativity, authenticity, and real-world perspective into the therapeutic space. His approach resonates with adolescents who may be guarded, resistant, or unsure about therapy, helping them feel heard while still being challenged to grow.

 

At Life Compass Consulting, therapy is not about judgment or labels—it’s about helping adolescents and families reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.
