“I’ve had a really positive experience with my therapist Gabriella . She is very compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to, and during our sessions I truly feel like she gets me. I also appreciate how responsive she is—whenever I text her, she replies efficiently, which makes me feel supported even outside of our sessions. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive therapist.”

Getting to know Gabriella Mercado
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (37AC00829300) in NJ, working with adults experiencing anxiety, mood-related concerns, and life transitions. I take a supportive, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients better understand patterns contributing to emotional distress while building practical coping skills. My goal is to create a nonjudgemental space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes at their own pace. Sessions are available in both English and Spanish.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect a supportive, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic experience. I strive to meet each client where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs and goals. I am direct yet compassionate, and I encourage open conversation while honoring each client's autonomy. Therapy is a joint effort, and I work alongside clients to help them gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work typically begins with an initial session focused on understanding your concerns, background, and goals for therapy. From there, we collaborate to identify patterns, explore contributing factors, and develop practical strategies to address challenges. Sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing space for reflection, skill-building, and ongoing adjustment as your needs evolve.
