Gabriela Espinoza, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there! I’m an LMFT and Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and I believe that healing starts with the connection between you and your child. I’m here to help you build confidence, strengthen your bond, and create emotional connections that support your child’s development. If you’re a parent ready for positive change, let’s get started! My approach I take an attachment-based approach within our treatment. I utilize art therapy to assist you with expressing emotions and exploring experiences in a creative, nonverbal way. I incorporate mindfulness-based techniques to support awareness, regulation, and calm. I offer infant massage to promote bonding, relaxation, and sensory development. My focus I work with caregivers of infants and young children to support family well-being. I offer family and co-parenting sessions to strengthen connection and collaboration. I also support parents experiencing anxiety or depression, helping you care for yourself while caring for your little one. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and authentic. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. I’ll laugh with you, be transparent when appropriate, and offer honest reflections with care. I balance compassion with gentle guidance to help you feel supported while moving toward meaningful growth. My journey to mental healthcare I became a provider because I love supporting families in creating positive attachments and healthy connections. I enjoy seeing parents gain confidence, explore their identities (in addition to being a parent), and build a secure relationship with their children. My goals for you I help you reach your goals through a collaborative process. Together, we focus on strengthening your bond with your child, building confidence, and supporting your emotional well-being. My first session with you During our first session, we will build rapport.
