About Gabriela Adonis

Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist

Gabriela Adonis, LCMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who leads her practice with compassion, empathy, and inspiration.

She is licensed in both Maryland and Virginia.

In 2015, she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Towson University, and later earned her Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in 2017. During Gabriela's graduate and early professional experiences, she spent over four years working with families and children from low-income and high-conflict backgrounds. In these settings, she was able to establish meaningful relationships with clients, create a space for safety and acceptance, and encourage the importance of family therapy. Gabriela continued her professional experience at a group private practice for over three years working with individuals and families while specializing in the treatment of anxiety, self-esteem/identity, stress management, and life transitions. She has also developed a passion for perinatal care serving individuals who are on their journey of pregnancy and postpartum. In Gabriela's therapy practice, she utilizes tools from CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness-Based approaches.

As a clinician, Gabriela's professional goal is to support clients in creating long-lasting solutions by tapping into personal strengths, discovering and integrating positive lifestyle habits, and encouraging the consistent reinforcement of these resources. She finds it imperative for clients to recognize that we are ever-evolving as individuals, and that we all have the capability to gradually reach the desired versions of ourselves.

In her personal life, Gabriela is a proud wife and passionate girl mom, an avid Harry Potter fan, and Peloton enthusiast. She has lived experience as part of the Biracial/Latinx community and a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
