Gabriella Velez-Smick

My ideal clients are women navigating infertility/IVF, pregnancy loss, postpartum changes, anxiety, motherhood, and overwhelming life transitions, as well as children and teens struggling with anxiety, confidence, emotional regulation, school stress, and peer relationships. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to cope. I help clients feel supported, understood, and more confident while building practical tools to manage life’s challenges.

I specialize in supporting women navigating infertility/IVF, pregnancy loss, postpartum changes, anxiety, motherhood, and life transitions. I am also a Certified School Counselor and work with children and teens struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, confidence, school stress, and peer relationships using warm, trauma-informed, evidence-based care.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re a woman, parent, teen, or child struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, infertility, loss, life changes, or emotional stress, therapy can offer support, coping tools, and a space to feel heard and understood. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support your healing and growth.
