Clinical Staff

Gabrielle VanWie, MA, is a Mental Health Clinician (Limited Permit) at Doria Therapeutic Group, PLLC. She holds a Master’s degree in Community and Counseling Psychology from Russell Sage College and is a provisionally licensed mental health counselor. Gabrielle is committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate care in a warm, collaborative, and structured therapeutic environment. She believes in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and works to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Gabrielle’s clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with integration of psychoeducation, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. She has experience working with individuals, couples, families, and children, addressing a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relational conflict, and life transitions. She is intentional about tailoring treatment to each client’s unique identity, background, and goals, and emphasizes cultural humility and emotional safety in all aspects of her work.  She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from SUNY Plattsburgh, where she helped lead a community mental health initiative delivering creative and therapeutic programming to underserved children. Gabrielle also participated in a NASA-funded research study on psychological resilience in extreme environments, which sparked her long-standing interest in emotional regulation, trauma response, and adaptability.

During her graduate internship in a private practice setting, Gabrielle supported a diverse caseload of clients and gained experience in clinical assessment, case conceptualization, and ethical decision-making under close supervision. Her work reinforced the importance of individualized care and collaborative goal-setting in building therapeutic progress.  Outside of the therapy room, Gabrielle values wellness, balance, and personal growth. She finds joy and restoration through motocross, golfing, and spending quality time with loved ones. She also engages in ongoing professional development focused on trauma-informed care, multicultural counseling, and youth mental health.

Gabrielle is passionate about making therapy approachable and accessible. She strives to help clients not only reduce symptoms but reconnect with their strengths, values, and capacity for meaningful change.
