Hello, my name is Gabriela Perez, I am first generation Mexican-American, born and raised in the Bay Area. I am bicultural, and bilingual, and can provide services in both English and Spanish. My approach to therapy is crafted by using a holistic approach, and using a variety of evidence based theoretical frameworks, in order to create a safe space to walk alongside you to lighten the load and build upon the strength you already possess. |
Through my compassion, empathy, humor, and directness I am able to create a safe and encouraging space for others to build insight and self-awareness, and overcome barriers to growth and wholeness. I provide my clients with concrete tools to help them along in their healing and growth process, and my many years of experience working in trauma and crisis has provided me with skills in managing intense and heavy topics without any judgement. |
Licensed in 2016I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years experience working with individuals in various capacities, with a focus on anxiety and trauma, in the Bay Area. I have worked at various community based organizations in the Bay Area prior to establishing my private practice. This has enriched my experience in working with a variety of individuals and presenting issues. While I often use a variety of therapy approaches, I have extensive experience using the Cognitive Behavioral model of therapy, and Internal Family Systems approach for work with individuals and couples. I also use The Developmental Model when working with couples.
