Hi, I’m Gabriella Puleo-Carrigan, PhD

Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern

My Approach

I take a warm, direct, and supportive approach to therapy. I believe in therapy, your way: I’ll challenge you, hold you accountable, and provide real feedback while keeping your needs and preferences in mind. Think of me as someone in your corner: helping you navigate your struggles gently, but willing to give a little tough love when it’s needed.

I’m a registered mental health counseling intern based in Tampa, Florida. My work is devoted to helping adults navigate unanticipated life transitions, reconnect with themselves through their healing, and create meaningful, sustainable peace and growth in their lives.

I specialize in helping adults with:

  • Divorce and separation

  • Post-separation abuse + narcissistic abuse recovery

  • Motherhood and parenting

  • Co-parenting

  • Boundaries and self-worth

When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me:

  • Collecting shells along the Gulf Coast beaches 🏖️

  • Checking out local coffee shops ☕️🥐

  • Exploring Florida with my three incredible girls 👧👧👧

  • Taking care of my plants 🌴🌺
