About me:

I’m Gabriella Losada (she/her), a Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Emily Berry, LPC. I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. To the left is a picture of me and my cat, Binx. She will not be joining us during in-person sessions because although I’ve always dreamt of having a therapy animal, she is very mean. Sometimes we love that which does not love us back or something like that.

I hold a lot of privileged identities (white, cisgender, thin, formally educated, US citizen) and some largely invisible marginalized identities (Latina, woman, living with chronic illness/pain, queer, neurodivergent). It’s important to me that I understand the impact my privilege has and how that shows up in and out of the therapy room. I use somatic and experiential techniques, all rooted in intersectional feminism and trauma informed approaches (more on all of that HERE). My style is casual and non-judgmental with humor and cussing thrown in if the occasion calls for it.

In my free time I like to: watch horror movies, go to concerts, put on a podcast and go for a walk, cuddle with Binx when she’ll let me, journal about what that weird dream might have meant, thrift, and get artsy with acrylics or printmaking. Approximately 9 months out of the year, I make Halloween my entire personality.

We might be a good fit if you:

  • are an individual, 18 or older

  • want to process grief in any of its forms (death, romantic or platonic breakups, life transitions, etc)

  • want to strengthen your mind/body connection that has been impacted by trauma or depersonalization/derealization

  • want to talk about sex/pleasure (or lack thereof) and its effect on you. This might include low libido, kink or BDSM, sex work, navigating the impact of past sexual trauma on your current sex life, the role of shame and how it might hinder the sex life you want, etc

  • are exploring (or curious about) polyamory, swinging, or any agreed-upon relationship structure outside of monogamy

  • like incorporating components into your sessions that don’t just involve sitting on a couch and talking (movement, making stuff, etc)

  • want to examine the impact systems have on you and that you have on systems
