Gabriella Patronella, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Gabriella!

I specialize in treating trauma and help clients with issues ranging from severe mental distress to general stress management. Treatment planning is collaborative—we'll discuss your unique goals and how to cultivate the changes you seek. Just as the wilderness is untamed, so will be your growth.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I also work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and various life stressors. Therapy is for anyone driven to reach their fullest potential, to truly know themselves in all their authenticity, and to transform.

My approach

I adapt my approach to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe life experiences shape us in good and bad ways, creating internal beliefs that guide our present-day experiences. Together, we'll transform your beliefs about yourself and work through issues keeping you stuck.

My communication style

Trust is necessary for vulnerability, and vulnerability is necessary to grow. I value honest, open communication to create a trusting, non-judgmental environment so you feel safe to be vulnerable. My priority is to help you feel seen and heard by actively listening and offering validation.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own personal journey with therapy inspired this career. I braved the wilderness, took the path less traveled, and experienced untamed growth in healing my trauma. Through this journey, I knew my purpose was to help people heal like I healed.

My goals for you

We will reflect on the issues you're having and what changes you'd like to see together. We'll discuss your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan laying out action steps. As we work together, your goals and needs may evolve as you gain new insights and progress.

Our first session

A first session is mainly an introduction. I will welcome you and make sure anything you need is addressed right away. It's completely normal to be nervous—my priority is to help you feel comfortable. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy and what changes you're hoping to gain.
