About Gabrielle

Gabby Beaudoin, LSW, is a primary therapist at Valley View’s Youth Recovery Center, where she provides therapeutic services to youth with co-occurring substance use and behavioral health disorders.

Gabby earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. Before joining Valley View, she served as a child welfare advocate with Garfield County’s Department of Human Services, connecting children and families with mental health and well-being resources. She also held research positions at Bradley Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, and the University of Maine at Farmington’s Division of Psychology and Human Development. In addition, she provided clinical services to children through Andwell Health Partners in Lewiston, Maine.

Gabby finds fulfillment in building relationships with young people to work through deeply rooted trauma. “Understanding that these challenges come from somewhere—and that substance use can be a way of coping with traumatic experiences—is so important,” said Gabby. “This gives teens an opportunity to explore those challenges, have a safe space to talk about them and find a path toward living the lives they want to lead.”

Growing up in a small town in Maine, Gabby saw firsthand how substance use and mental health challenges can affect rural areas. “Often, people in these communities lack access to mental health resources,” she says. “It is vital to increase access to counseling and community engagement for those who may experience greater isolation or stress.” Gabby also advocates for compassionate LGBTQ+/nonbinary health equity, suicide prevention and support for suicide loss survivors.

Gabby has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley since 2023. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her partner, dog and cats, as well as traveling, hiking, skiing and building relationships within the community.
