Colette Giovanniello
We all have the opportunity in our life to start fresh. During the journey, we change, grow, heal, destroy, and can improve our lives. You will experience difficulties, and you are not alone. We are not alone in this world, but we are compelled to isolate ourselves from the fear of experiencing too much pain.
I have a sense of humor, but good sound clinical judgment, so take a leap of faith.
I have many years of clinical training with life experiences, including successes and failures, but we are not provided a how to manual at birth. I have a sense of humor, but good sound clinical judgment, so take a leap of faith.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Difficulties in life include employment, life transitions, problems in relationships, divorce, death, and financial hardships. You might experience low motivation and burnout when trying to reach treatment goals. Together, we will create change in your life to grow and experience peace, contentment, and joy.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Our life is built around systems as the theorist has applied to the systems of your internal self.
Couples Counseling
Working with couples can be challenging, considering cultural, personality, and general dynamic complexities. When people fall in love, the expectation of needing couples counseling is not necessarily something we think about. Pre-marital counseling is always a good recommendation to uncover ways to strengthen complex communication styles. Primarily, most couples seek couples counseling when the struggle to communicate effectively becomes severely impaired. The couple struggles with acknowledgment, understanding each other's perspective, and active listening. Several obstacles include parenting strategies, in-laws, and intimacy. I use a unique blend of counseling techniques tailored individually to each couple.
Psychoeducation
I have years of advanced training and higher education in clinical psychology. I have an eclectic way of blending treatment modalities to suit your therapeutic needs. You will have a special blend of IFS, CBT, DBT, and EFT. Most importantly, we will focus on strategies tailored to meet you're designed treatment goals.
