Gabriella Ruocco, LMSW, RYT(She/Her/Hers)

Gabriella Ruocco is a bilingual (English and Spanish) integrative psychotherapist and trauma sensitive yoga teacher (RYT 500) who is passionate about supporting individuals of all ages in reclaiming their power and breaking free from oppressive systems and cycles. With over a decade of experience in community and mental health settings around the world, Gabriella brings a deep appreciation for the vast uniqueness and shared universality the human experience. Her therapeutic approach weaves together evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside holistic practices including somatic exercises, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), acupressure, and meditation. Grounded in compassion, her work is anti-oppressive, strengths-based, and culturally responsive.

She honors the truth that some may find clarity through talk therapy, while others may connect more deeply through mindfulness, yoga, somatic awareness, or breath work. With a strong background in sexual health and social-emotional education, Gabriella supports clients in building body awareness and autonomy. She believes that providing young people with the tools to feel safe and empowered in their bodies and minds not only strengthens boundary setting and self connection, but also fosters prevention of harm. She emphasizes the importance of open, age-appropriate conversations about sexuality and identity across the lifespan.

As a trauma-informed provider, Gabriella is committed to meeting each client where they are—with empathy, respect, and attunement to their unique journey of healing, self-expression, and growth.
