Welcome.
I’m Gabriela Portas, a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist. As your therapist, I can be a supportive partner in helping you find your inner balance and rekindle joy.
Even the strongest among us is not immune to stressful life events and the impact they have on our capacity to thrive. At times we find ourselves having to adapt to overwhelming life situations. These challenges may be personal, relational, or societal.
I am here to guide you in establishing a connection to your own ground of well-being and to help you navigate through these challenges with increased resilience and authenticity. I deeply believe in your own innate capacity for healing. My training and experience go well beyond what traditional talk therapy offers.
In our work together, we can integrate artistic and creative exploration, mindfulness, somatic healing, and Self-led compassionate witnessing as you travel on your journey towards healing. As a native Spanish-speaker with multicultural roots, I also bring a unique and compassionate perspective to my work with individuals who are culturally diverse.
