Gabrielle Green-Oakes

I am a licensed psychologist in the Commonwealth of Virginia who offers individual and family therapy, along with comprehensive psychological assessment, for children, adolescents, and adults. My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative, with careful attention to cultural context and developmental needs. I draw from evidence-based treatment approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each intervention to the client’s unique needs and goals. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or have previously engaged in therapy, I am deeply committed to creating a safe and affirming space for understanding, healing, and growth related to the challenges each client is navigating.

Specialization

I specialize in supporting clients across the lifespan, with clinical expertise in relational work, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, trauma, identity development, life transitions, and behavioral concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents facing mood disorders, academic stress, peer difficulties, and ADHD. My growing focus includes adults/emerging adults navigating complex emotional needs, interpersonal challenges, and high-functioning roles.

In addition to therapy, I conduct comprehensive psychological assessments for clients of all ages. Assessments are approached from a strengths-based framework to clarify diagnoses and guide treatment planning, academic accommodations, and individualized support.

Education, Training, and Professional Experience

I earned my master’s and doctoral degrees in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the John L. Gildner Regional Institute for Children and Adolescents in Rockville, MD, an APA-accredited site, where I provided therapy (individual, family, and group) and assessment within therapeutic day and residential programs. My prior training spans a variety of settings, including community mental health, school/milieu, residential treatment, and private practice. Across these environments, I have had the pleasure of working with youth and adults, supporting clients through a broad range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

Certifications

I am licensed as a PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) Psychologist, with approval to practice across more than 40 states nationwide.
