Gabriela Lopez, MSW, RSW

Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Hi 👋 I’m Gabriela.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with experience supporting children, youth, young adults and families across mental health, community, housing and social service settings.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, respected and comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood while having the space to work toward meaningful change.

I have a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, with a specialization in Children, Youth and Families, as well as an Honours Bachelor of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University.

My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred and strengths-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed approaches and other evidence-based strategies, tailoring our work to your individual needs, experiences and goals.

How I Help Individuals

I support clients experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, trauma, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Sometimes it can be difficult to understand why you're feeling the way you do, or to know what to do when emotions feel overwhelming. Therapy can provide a space to slow things down, make sense of what you're experiencing and develop tools that can help you feel more grounded and confident.

Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, struggling with your emotions, working through relationship challenges or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to better understand what's going on and identify ways forward that feel right for you.

How I Help Young People and Families

I have experience working with children, youth, young adults and families and understand that every person and family brings their own experiences, strengths and challenges into therapy.

I aim to create an environment where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves without judgment, while supporting families in building greater understanding, communication and connection.

I believe that meaningful therapy starts with a genuine relationship. When you feel safe enough to show up authentically, change becomes possible.

I’m currently accepting new clients and would be happy to support you on your journey.
