WHO AM I?
I am Gabby Zink, a Licensed Psychotherapist in NYC. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University (2021) and a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University (2015). A lifelong athlete—starting with soccer and track and evolving into an avid marathoner and triathlete—I understand the mindset of high performers firsthand. With extensive experience working with diverse young and middle-aged adults, I’ve helped clients overcome life stressors, navigate challenging transitions, and enhance performance.
