Sabrina Gramatica received her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Addiction from Antioch University Los Angeles and her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude.

She works with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, addiction, and relational challenges, bringing a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens to her clinical work. Her approach focuses on helping clients develop a deeper understanding of their internal world while building the capacity to tolerate and process emotional experiences. She has experience supporting diverse populations, particularly individuals facing complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, and substance use, and works to help clients recognize patterns that contribute to distress while moving toward more adaptive and integrated ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sabrina’s clinical orientation is integrative and grounded in depth-oriented and neurobiologically informed approaches. Her work is influenced by psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapies, and principles of polyvagal theory and interpersonal neurobiology. She incorporates elements of EMDR-informed practice and mindfulness-based work, and integrates her background as a certified yoga teacher to support clients in developing a more embodied awareness of their internal states. This allows her to bridge cognitive insight with lived, physiological experience, supporting clients in metabolizing emotional states rather than suppressing them.

Her clinical perspective is also shaped by personal and professional experience with neurodivergence, informing a nuanced and affirming understanding of how individuals process, regulate, and relate to their internal and external worlds. She is particularly attuned to the ways in which nervous system patterns, identity, and environment intersect, and works collaboratively with clients to foster greater flexibility, self-compassion, and agency.

Sabrina is deeply passionate about psychology and the ongoing process of understanding the human mind. She believes that meaningful change occurs when individuals are able to turn toward, rather than avoid, what feels uncomfortable, and that through this process, difficult emotions can be integrated and transformed. Her work emphasizes the development of emotional awareness, distress tolerance, and a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self.

She utilizes an integrative approach that supports both insight and action, helping clients translate awareness gained in therapy into meaningful shifts in their daily lives. She values a collaborative therapeutic relationship and is committed to creating a space where clients feel supported in engaging fully with their process and moving toward lasting change.

She is also a certified Jungian Life Coach and a Gottman Workshop Leader, facilitating educational workshops focused on relationship skills and communication.
