Gaby Colletta AMFT, Somatic Therapist Verified listing

I am a Filipina-Italian-American, cisgender woman born in the U.S. I grew up in east coast cities in a blended household and have spent much of my life navigating the complexity of liminal spaces. My core is shaped by the bicoastal cities of Brooklyn & Berkeley. While I have the pulse of the city in me, I spend most of my days in the wildness of Nature. I am a corporate advertising burnout who deviated from immigrant expectations of success to pursue greater alignment and purpose in my work. I am a devout creative with a relentless curiosity for understanding humanity and our relationship to all things.
I am deeply moved to support folx in learning to reclaim their inherent worth and step into empowerment through efforts of decolonization. I am emboldened by the process of unlearning and dismantling deeply held beliefs of what capitalism teaches us to value. I love helping individuals and couples explore intimacy and deeper connection. I believe relationship is one of the greatest teachers.
My work is informed by decades of studying human behavior through the lens of modern culture, eastern wisdom traditions such as yoga, ayurveda and buddhism and integral psychology.
In addition to being a therapist, I guide yoga and teacher trainings. I offer ayurvedic health counseling and facilitate intentional retreats worldwide. I am also cofounder of ClimbWell, a company dedicated to supporting rock climbers through personal development, mindfulness and holistic wellbeing.
I am a firm believer that too often society forces boxes, labels and identities & so I share all the above in recognition and reverence of the many parts that make up my whole self and the acknowledgment that these parts of fluid and changing. It is my hope to step onto this path with you as your collaborator, your ally and support in holding and integrating all that you are.
