Dr. Gabriella Luther comes to Olympic Psychology Services after completing an internship at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. While she awaits the issue of her Washington State license, she is working as a "Post-Doctoral Psychology Resident."

​

Dr. Gabriella Luther (she/her) earned her Ph.D. and Masters degrees in Counseling Psychology from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon (APA-accredited). Dr. Luther is a generalist practitioner and has experience providing therapy and crisis intervention for adolescents and adults. She is currently available to see individual clients ages 13 and up. 

​

Dr. Luther enjoys working with both adolescents and adults of all ages treating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, life transitions and relationship difficulties. She strives to create a safe space for all clients and focuses first and foremost on building a positive and trusting relationship with all her clients. This means operating from a size-inclusive, gender and queer-affirming, and anti-racist perspective in her practice. She utilizes a psychodynamic lens and welcomes a collaborative and open therapeutic dynamic.

​

Dr. Luther also uses ACT and DBT techniques to tailor specific interventions for the needs of each client. What this can look like in practice is often a focus on the impact of clients’ relationships, both past and present, while also using mindfulness acceptance-based strategies for managing strong emotions in the here and now. 

​

In her free time, Dr. Luther enjoys repeatedly picking up and putting down heavy things, reading all the fantasy books she can get her hands on, picnics in the beautiful NW nature, and snuggling her dog, Luna.
