Gabriela Rivas Espinoza, MA, LPC

Hi! My name is Gabriela Rivas Espinoza.  I am licensed through the State of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. 

​

I received my Bachelor of Science in Forensic Psychology from Roosevelt University in 2019.  After that, I graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in June 2021 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology. 

​

During my master's, I had the opportunity to support clients from a variety of backgrounds - from college students to the elderly.  My work included one-on-one sessions to help clients navigate hardships, deal with isolation, and discrimination and connect them with resources in the community. After receiving my master's, I moved to Dallas and began my first experience helping children and adolescent groups conquer their traumas, anxiety, and depression by processing and reframing unhelpful thoughts through psychoeducation.

​

My approach to therapy is person-centered.  This means I believe the client is the expert and I am here to help facilitate the path to overcoming your mental health challenges.  I aim to accomplish this by providing active listening in a judgment-free environment where we can peel back the layers together to uncover the root problems and learn how to cope with those difficulties at a comfortable pace for you.

​

In my spare time, I like to watch tv shows, listen to podcasts and explore new restaurants.
