Gabriela López, PhD
PSYCHOLOGIST, SHE/HER/HERS
Licensed Clinical Psychologist: Vermont (048.0135260), Rhode Island (02109), authorized to provide teletherapy in 40 states and District of Columbia through PSYPACT
I provide an evidence-based person-centered approach. I incorporate patients’ unique experiences, values, and identities to help customize the work we do together. Examples of interventions that I use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I also have an interest in working with mothers experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, people who identify as LGBTQ+, racial/ethnic minorities, and people who have multiple minority identities. Overall, I aim to create a safe space to help people be their authentic selves.

I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University’s School of Public Health.
