I am Gabriela Waring and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and a foreign-trained Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Brazil, bringing both U.S. and international training and clinical experience to my work. I have worked as a psychotherapist in California for the past 12 years, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding.
My approach to psychotherapy integrates Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapies with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This model allows us to explore how early experiences—including trauma—shape emotions, relationships, and behaviors, while also building effective coping skills and resilience.
I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and work with trauma of all kinds, including childhood trauma and PTSD.
As a Christian therapist, I offer Faith Integration, providing a safe space that honors your faith while maintaining clear clinical goals.
