Gabe is our LGBTQ+ consultant. His primary role involves screening new providers joining CommonSense to ensure they are ethical and competent when working with LGBTQ+ communities.

He also assists with other tasks including intake screening audits, assisting with billing claim calls, and ensuring our providers are paneled.

Gabe has experience leading group discussions, educating and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Gabe facilitated the Trans Support Group at the Out Alliance of Rochester NY. He has also since created LGBTQ+ panels where trans people, himself included, can discuss and talk about their life experiences to help and teach medical professionals, mental health practitioners, university gender studies students and others.

As a trans man, Gabe helps bridge the gaps of communication between the LGBTQ+ community and people outside of it. In this way he gives back to the community and also helps pave the way by being a voice, advocating for those that cannot advocate for themselves, so the struggles, concerns, fears and needs of those in the community can be heard and understood.
