Maybe it showed up when you became a parent, started a new relationship, went no-contact, searched for (or decided not to search for) biological family, changed careers, or hit a milestone age that cracked things open. Whatever triggered it, you’re probably asking questions like: Who am I really? Why does this hit differently for me? Why does everyone else seem fine when I’m not?

I work with adoptees who are navigating identity, belonging, and the emotional fallout that often comes with major life transitions. A lot of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and exhausted from trying to hold it all together while pretending this stuff doesn’t matter.

My style is warm, direct, and very real—I swear sometimes and I don’t shy away from the hard stuff. I help you understand your nervous system and relationships so you’re not just surviving, but actually getting yourself. If you’re an adoptee in a life shift thinking “something’s off,” you’re not broken—and you don’t have to do this alone.

I possess extensive clinical, supervisory, administrative, training and teaching experience. I enjoy working with diverse populations with a variety of clinical presentations. I have been trained in a variety of evidenced based treatment modalities.

My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and confidential space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe in building trust through empathy, active listening, and honest communication. My approach is client-centered, meaning I work collaboratively to help individuals identify goals, develop coping strategies, and navigate personal challenges at their own pace. I value compassion, professionalism, and respect for each person’s unique experiences and background.

Hello, my name is Judy Hart. I have been a licensed mental health therapist since 2008. I believe that each person has the strength within themselves to grow and change through life's challenges and losses. I specialize in grief therapy, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. My therapeutic focus is on individual therapy with adolescents 16-18, emerging adults 18-26, adults, and adults in later years.

I am a dedicated therapist with over 17 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health and addiction. I specialize in supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use.

I believe that many people underestimate how deeply their mental well-being impacts their overall quality of life. My goal is to build a relationship with you that honors your unique worldview while addressing the day-to-day stressors that hold you back. Whether you are dealing with inter-personal conflict, grief, or life transitions, I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel seen and heard.

The past is a good place to visit but certainly not a place to stay

I'm Gabriela, a bilingual therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, family stress, and the unique pressures of living between cultures. I was trained in Spain and the U.S., and I bring both perspectives into my work — especially with Latinx clients who want a therapist who genuinely understands the complexity of their experience, not just the clinical categories. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, whichever feels most natural to you. I work entirely via telehealth, so you can access care from anywhere in Rhode Island — your home, your car, wherever gives you the privacy you need.
