About Alma Gabriela

Alma Gabriela is a mother, an interdisciplinary and multimedia artist, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a PhD candidate in Depth Psychology, Integrative Therapy, and Healing Practices Specialization at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Alma Gabriela ritualizes artmaking as an embodied spiritual practice that tends to the soul. Her artmaking process is primarily intuitive, involving several methods of engaging the unconscious to access embodied wisdom and interact with personal and collective symbols, dreams, and emerging narratives. Alma Gabriela approaches art-making as spiritual activism and liberation work, integrating ancestral practices, academic research, her professional work as a depth-oriented psychotherapist, intergenerational healing, and the decolonization of identity.

She is passionate about working with creatives, artists, empaths, visionaries, storytellers, eccentrics, healers, and activists who are called to use their unique gifts to attend to their personal well-being, heal intergenerational trauma, and serve their community.

Alma has over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people experiencing mild to severe symptoms and helps them access their innate capacity to transform pain and struggle into wellness and meaningful living. She provides holistic, trauma-informed, intersectional, and inclusive therapy.

I enjoy working with people in the BIPOC community.
