Gabriela Contreras

Gabriela Contreras is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and clinically grounded care to individuals, couples, and families.

Gabriela Contreras works with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, life transitions, and challenges related to emotional and relational well-being.

Gabriela's goal is to create a therapeutic relationship characterized by safety, trust, respect, and collaboration, allowing clients to explore difficult experiences while developing greater insight, resilience, healthier patterns of behavior and of relating. Gabriela is committed to honoring the dignity of every human person and enjoys helping clients rediscover their strengths.

Gabriela's approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful therapeutic change involves a deeper understanding of oneself, healing from past pain, strengthening relationships, reconnecting with personal and spiritual values, and cultivating the capacity to move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and hope. Gabriela draws from EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based techniques. Catholic Faith Based Integrated Counseling is available upon request.

In the intake session, Gabriela will perform a full clinical evaluation to explore your history, assess your current challenges, and listen to your story with compassion in order to collaboratively identify a treatment plan.
