About Gloria Cullinane

As a licensed therapist in California with three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship dynamics with compassionate, faith-informed guidance.

I am deeply committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop stronger emotional resilience. My approach integrates Christian perspectives with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, allowing clients to address challenges like social anxiety, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and life purpose exploration.

My extensive background enables me to provide nuanced, empathetic support for diverse concerns including women’s issues, workplace stress, midlife transitions, and interpersonal relationship challenges. I approach each client’s journey with respect, understanding, and a genuine desire to support their emotional and spiritual well-being.

“Wonderful, wise, knowledgeable, practical & caring.”

“She’s been amazing thus far and we both feel very comfortable sharing with her and feel like she is very helpful.”

“Gloria actually provides me with what I requested when I selected what I wanted out of therapy. I’ve had other therapists completely ignore things I’ve requested. She’s compassionate and gives concrete advice and tips on life. She has a lot of experience clearly. We’ve found a good one here. She has made an impactful impression on my marriage”

“Gloria is a very compassionate therapist. She gets to the source of our problems and builds us up as a couple. She helps you dig deep to fully understand yourself and your behavior. We look forward to our journey with her.”

“Gloria is very attentive in listening, helping me to identify my problem areas, suggesting helpful possible next steps and keep encouraging me. She also patiently helps me to better discern my thoughts so that I will not be believing in lies I am telling myself but able to train myself to re-story my experiences and circumstances that helps me walk more positively into the future. I appreciate her help and guidance. I am gaining more confidence in my life instead of constantly doubting myself. She is a great support!”
