Gabby Peguero,

Hello, I’m Gabby Peguero(she/her), a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and bilingual, Spanish-speaking therapist.

My Background

I have extensive experience in child welfare and behavioral health and have been committed to serving the Lancaster County community since earning my Bachelors Degree in Social Work from Millersville University in 2015. In 2023, I furthered my education by obtaining a Master’s degree in Social Work from Millersville University.

Since 2015, I have specialized in counseling children, teens, young adults, and adults for trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, life transitions, racial identity, relationship problems, and other mental health and life-impacting experiences.

I also counsel for chronic pain/illness, anger management, bipolar disorder, body image, family conflict & dynamics, ODD, couples, marriage, sexual abuse, self-harm, spirituality, technology addiction, gifted youth & adults, perinatal/pregnancy, exhibiting inappropriate sexual behaviors, and more.

Throughout my career, I have developed extensive knowledge of community resources and services, allowing me to connect families and individuals with the support they need effectively. I believe in the power of collaboration and advocating for comprehensive solutions that prioritize the well-being of each individual in my care.

My Therapy Style

My journey has been deeply rooted in the belief that every person has the potential to heal and grow. I am passionate about you becoming the greatest version of yourself and healing the parts of yourself that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a brave and vulnerable act of self-love that requires courage and a commitment to personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is a strengths-based perspective, where I focus on the unique qualities and resources that each individual brings to our sessions. I believe that everyone has the ability to use their strengths to overcome challenges and create positive change.

Training and Techniques in Therapy

I will incorporate various modalities during our sessions, including Parts Work, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a Person-Centered approach, Family Systems theory, Mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing. These tools allow me to tailor my approach to your needs and create a safe and supportive environment.

I understand that healing is not linear, and I respect that you are on a unique journey. My ultimate goal is to empower you to embrace yourself, find clarity, and move forward with confidence. I am here to support you on this courageous path toward self-discovery and healing.

About Me

I was born in New York City and moved to Lancaster County in 2003. My family is from the Dominican Republic, and I enjoy spending time with them and celebrating our unique and joyous culture. I also enjoy listening to music, traveling the country with my boyfriend, and supporting my children’s extracurricular activities. I love spending time with family and friends, but I also value those peaceful and quiet moments with a book!
