Hello! My name is Gabriella and I am a marriage and family therapist. I currently live in Indiana. I have been in mental health since 2011 starting out in behavioral therapy working with autistic children. Currently, I am an outpatient therapist who focuses on individuals, families and couples. I have worked in outpatient and residential settings with my main clientele being children and adolescents. My passion is in helping others improve their own lives and working towards their individual goals. I like to use a more conversational style of therapy, I do not like for sessions to feel clinical or sterile. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and allow my clients to guide sessions. I utilized various methods from evidenced-based to a mix of holistic approaches. Please take the time to fill out the intake paperwork as it helps me prepare for sessions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients should expect a better understanding of themselves and the choices they make. Clients can increase their affect recognition and regulation skills. Client should expect to explore themselves on deep level to allow them the ability to make better decisions or choices regarding their goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Treatment methods vary and are based on the needs and goals of each client. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and The Seven Challenges. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy . I do utilize worksheets as needed or to guide sessions. I will also assign therapy homework as needed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that I connect well with others and this allows me to create a safe and comfortable space to allow for progress. My experience in the mental health field as allow me to experience and work with a diverse population. I am a culturally diverse individual which has allowed me various experiences that others may understand or have experience themselves.
