Adriana, known as Gabbi, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Resilient Roots Counseling. She has over 8 years of clinical experience across military behavioral health, pediatric and medical social work, inpatient psychiatric care, and hospice/home health. She has provided direct clinical services to active-duty service members, medically complex children and families, and adults navigating crisis and chronic illness. Her work has extended into clinical supervision, policy development, and community leadership. She holds a Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University, is trained in EMDR therapy, and holds certifications as a Perinatal Mental Health Clinician (PMH-C) and ADHD Clinical Services Provider.

Gabbi founded Resilient Roots Social Work Services on the belief that quality mental health care should be accessible — not a privilege. She specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and perinatal mental health. As a PMH-C, she is specifically trained to support women through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the broader emotional landscape of the perinatal period — a stage of life that is often underserved and misunderstood. Her EMDR training equips her to work with trauma at a neurological level, moving beyond insight alone to help clients process and release what talk therapy cannot always reach. For clients navigating ADHD, she brings an informed, non-pathologizing lens to both assessment and treatment — recognizing that ADHD in across the lifespan is frequently underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and often entangled with anxiety, trauma, and burnout.

Gabbi's approach is psychodynamic at its core — meaning she is as interested in the patterns beneath the surface as she is in the presenting problem. Sessions are warm, nonjudgmental, and, yes, occasionally funny. She believes that therapy doesn't have to be heavy every minute to do serious work, and that the relationship between therapist and client is itself part of the healing.
