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 holds a Bachelor's in Psychology from Towson University and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. Gabriela has over nine years of experience working with individuals and families, beginning with four years supporting children and families from low-income, high-conflict backgrounds. She later practiced at a group private practice for over three years, specializing in anxiety, self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions. Gabriela also has a passion for perinatal care, supporting clients through pregnancy and postpartum. Her approach draws from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapies, fostering a safe, accepting space for growth.
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.
She is licensed in both Maryland and Virginia.
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 a biracial, Latinx, and neurodivergent individual.

Individual Therapy
Many of us were not given the tools to know how to navigate everyday stressors such as responsibilities, time management, or negative emotions. Or maybe we don't feel equipped to handle the inevitable obstacles that are a part of life like relationship conflict, parenting, and low self-esteem.
Whether you need a small dose of support to reinvigorate yourself, or a complete set of new tools to remodel your life: Therapy can provide the opportunity and space to nurture this growth.
Individual Therapy is offered to adults who are feeling ready, or even curious, to embark on this journey.
