Meet Gabriela Stephanie

My pronouns are she/her/ella​.

My Story

I am a Maquilishuat seed—rooted in El Salvador and transplanted to Los Angeles, California.

I am the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants, a first-generation doctoral student, a sister, an aunt, and a proud dog mom to my 10-year-old German Shepherd, Ivy. My academic path has taken me from Santa Monica College to Loyola Marymount University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Dance, and later to Pepperdine University’s Aliento Program, where I completed my master’s in Clinical Psychology.

My passion is to expand mental health accessibility and bridge gaps through a Multicultural and Attachment-based framework. Grounded in a community-centered approach, my therapeutic philosophy prioritizes healing and wellness by integrating the arts, education, and culturally attuned practices.

My Work

I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families in strengthening their relationships and moving beyond survival to a place of true fulfillment. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems, and Multicultural principles, allowing for a holistic and culturally responsive healing experience. It is an honor to hold space with my clients, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward wellness.
