THERAPIST (She/Her)

Gabriela Padilla, LPC

Hey there—yes, you! If you've ever felt “stuck” or wondered “what’s the point?” or found it hard to get out of bed each day? I want you to know that I've been there too. As a survivor of a traumatic accident with lifelong physical limitations, I’ve navigated those very thoughts and feelings. Life can certainly throw us into difficult patches where we find ourselves stuck in cycles of depression, anxiety, or trauma. I’m here to help you navigate these challenging times, offering a guiding hand as you learn more about yourself and work through your difficulties.

With a rich background in addressing addiction, trauma, and various mental health disorders, I provide support to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. I utilize Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help resolve traumas that block the path to a healthier life. As an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, my space is a welcoming environment for clients from all walks of life.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-focused, emphasizing the importance of the client-therapist relationship, and is designed to foster self-discovery and healing. Whether you prefer to meet in person or virtually, I’m flexible and here to accommodate your needs. I look forward to connecting with you and embarking on a journey toward healing. Together, we can work through those unhealthy patterns and move towards a place of understanding and growth.
