I seek to identify effective methods for helping mental healthcare professionals develop cultural consciousness in the way they conduct assessment and treatment. I have developed graduate seminars and provide trainings and consulting to health care agencies to better serve the needs of their patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa8865602851419747b5b02/1615488425712-OKXUVS6YDTTMX4ZCOQKE/unsplash-image-Oum1ZTFHgWA.jpg Home - Creating infrastructure for multicultural peer-consultation in diverse health care settings. I co-developed a multicultural peer-consultation model whereby mental health care professionals meet weekly to consult on ongoing clinical cases (and themselves), centering the cultural and contextual influences affecting the mental health of their patients. We view these influences from a social justice lens so that we can chip away at the impacts of systemic oppression in all of its forms — racism, xenophobia, sexism, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, among others. Our model has gained traction and is currently being replicated nationally by other teams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa8865602851419747b5b02/1612716759774-L4LSR54QRPM04FQFIF5N/Therapy.jpg Home - Providing culturally-conscious, anti-oppressive, evidence-based psychological treatment. I am trained as an adult clinical psychologist. I practice from a contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) theoretical orientation.

My research focuses on understanding the social conditions that create chronic stressors for minoritized communities (usually stemming from systemic oppression), that have negative impacts for their health and well-being. These conditions (social drivers of health) contribute to health disparities. My team, alongside community partners, is actively working on developing interventions to bolster resilience to buffer against these stressors. *I use the term culturally-conscious to refer to a health care' provider’s ability to develop awareness about the intersection of their various cultural identities as well as those of patients from all backgrounds, with a keen focus on systems of oppression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa8865602851419747b5b02/542ccb68-6dd1-419c-bfac-e68804cbf58a/Untitled+design.jpg Home - Conducting rigorous, inclusive, and respectful community-engaged research .

I also spend quite a bit of time thinking about how to help health care professionals deliver care that takes into account diverse cultural contexts and identities to better meet the needs of their patients. I have thus far dedicated my professional life to serving lives of historically minoritized communities as a health equity researcher, educator, and clinician. I am the daughter of immigrants and am myself an immigrant. I was born in the U.S., yet we migrated during my early childhood to my parents’ home country of Venezuela. In the 1990s, my parents decided to migrate once again to the U.S. fleeing political instability and a repressive regime, as nearly 6 million Venezuelans have done over the last 2+ decades. My immigrant experience was punctuated with many hardships – enduring separation of our family, first learning Spanish (when we moved to Venezuela) and then relearning English (when we moved back to the States), financial strain, and discrimination. Despite many cultural strengths and great pride in being Latin American, the process of acculturation was one of constant struggle whereby I contemporaneously experienced pressure to adapt and assimilate into “American life” and at the same time to maintain major components of our Venezuelan heritage. As is often the case for immigrants, our family surrounded itself primarily with other immigrant families, which instilled in me a keen, sophisticated, and exquisite understanding of the unique challenges of disenfranchised immigrant and refugee communities. Being an immigrant shaped how I think about basic rights like access to mental health care, and how this is often determined by one’s social context and demographic characteristics. There are numerous obstacles for disenfranchised communities, such as poor immigrants and refugees living in ethnic enclaves or in the margins, which make receiving quality mental health care difficult, if not unattainable. Thus, my research, teaching, and clinical work have consistently held a focus on this reality by engaging in efforts to increase access to care for underserved and disenfranchised communities, thereby reducing mental health inequities. In this way, I am a clinician-scientist addressing mental needs of minoritized populations by leveraging methods and frameworks from health inequities research, community-engaged research, implementation science, and human-centered design. https://www.gabrielanagyphd.com/multicultural-peerconsultation daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://www.gabrielanagyphd.com/equity-research-group daily 0.75 2023-03-17 https://www.gabrielanagyphd.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1595609339784-SQCBD0JY1I2PJTF6463B/image-asset.jpeg Home Providing you with a safe space to relax All your appointments will take place in our soothing office environment with fully private rooms, complimentary tea and water, and individualized care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1596735437739-PLZ9IGEX0K4LE2I40EX6/image-asset.jpeg Home Happy smiling woman with curly hair lounging on couch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1596735464610-AI9YSPNX6XDAB7ZYHEVN/image-asset.jpeg Home Scenic shot of the beach with waves hitting the rocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1596735343208-REFD48BLXTO0VYD1GP8F/image-asset.jpeg Home Bright natural dining room nook with vases plates and fruits on the table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1596735391229-WFZO0YGQY5XS8CAGI64G/image-asset.jpeg Home Pretty Caucasian woman at the beach smiling at camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592230716373-ZT0K3F4FT1OIRFNZ1MNL/Thrapy+copy+2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592230746331-7KHTZVVBPJJ1MBAAH1K3/Pills+copy+2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592229007961-LTP1A4QHMVOKZ5NPVPKQ/Coaching+copy.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592230803772-L1ERE96JGOYEVC5MY5FY/Accupuncture+copy+2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1595609511395-DHZ1AN4UM2RWT5DUYG2I/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1595609495804-U8BVKL7U6TZ7NC1PRUO3/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1615997305106-E9C8DZGPRZC76V1CUSOD/Stocksy_comp_2318452.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1595609653820-03ONMZIYD38W7ZF3U0Y1/image-asset.jpeg Home https://www.gabrielanagyphd.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2025-05-12
