Gabrielle Samo (she/her), MA, LPCC, NCC holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from West Chester University of Pennsylvania, with minors in Contemplative Studies and Health Sciences. Gabrielle’s clinical work is further informed by training in the Flash Technique, HeartMath, and her background as a Certified Professional Coach. Gabrielle has worked closely for nearly five years in supportive roles with individuals experiencing severe malnutrition and eating disorders. She has also volunteered with hospice for several years, an experience that deeply shaped her presence, compassion, and understanding of life’s most tender transitions.
In the therapy room, she works with adults navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Being human is hard. Many of her clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, often after loss, change, or long periods of pushing through without space to slow down. Sometimes therapy is simply about having room to unpack the baggage we carry and gently sift through it with support. Gabrielle’s approach to therapy is warm, relational, and gently direct. She works collaboratively with clients, creating space to slow down, reflect, and thoughtfully explore long‑held patterns while reconnecting with parts of themselves shaped by grief, survival, or expectation.
Her work is grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about cultivating curiosity, flexibility, and deeper self-understanding. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed and psychodynamic perspectives, CBT and DBT-informed skills, Polyvagal Theory, and parts-based work, Gabrielle balances insight with practical tools to support meaningful, sustainable change. Gabrielle intentionally cultivates a space of safety, presence, and respect, where adult clients can slow down and show up as they are, without pressure or judgment. She is committed to providing an affirming, inclusive space and warmly welcomes clients of all identities, including LGBTQ+ individuals. She values meaningful conversation, humor, and curiosity, and believes that therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and attuned to each person’s unique pace and values.
