Gloria De La Mora (she/her)
Associate Marriage & Family Therapist
Currently accepting new clients!
Welcome all! My name is Gloria and I am deeply committed to providing fellow LGBTQIA+ BIPoC folx accessible and affirming services where social justice is at the forefront of mental health care. My professional area of focus is complex-trauma with an emphasis in working with survivors of sexual violence and gender-based harm. Common expressions of trauma may look like: anxious thoughts, depressive mood, suicidal ideation, grief, guilt, shame, interpersonal relationship distress, challenges with self-worth, and more.
With warmth, thoughtfulness, and humor, I utilize an integrative approach that pulls from the following frameworks: Person-centered, EMDR therapy, Feminist therapy, Narrative therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment-based, and Systems Family Therapy. I aim to build insight and awareness by co-creating a safe enough space to explore how activating experiences may influence distress and coping. My interventions are trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally responsive to my client’s presenting concerns. I aim to empower my clients through education, mindfulness-based coping skills, and resources to foster long-term autonomy. Therapy is an intersectional practice so as part of my client’s care we will actively deconstruct how larger systems of oppression have contributed to their distress.
If my approach resonates with you, please reach out via e-mail to schedule a free consultation. Seeking out quality and affirming care is an extremely vulnerable and exhausting process so if we are not the right fit, I would be happy to provide referrals to support you on your journey.
