Hello, I'm Gino Memoli, a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families through personalized therapy sessions. I specialize in addressing personality disorders, mood disorders, and trauma using client-centered modality to help clients explore and heal various aspects of themselves.

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my direct, honest, and compassionate approach, combined with my expertise in client-centered modality and the Gottman Method.

Additionally, I apply the Gottman Method to enhance relationship dynamics for couples and families, focusing on building stronger, more understanding connections. My approach is direct, honest, and compassionate, aimed at fostering deep personal growth and resilience in a supportive environment.

First session

In your first session, you can expect a welcoming and safe environment where we begin by discussing your goals and challenges. I focus on understanding your unique background and needs, establishing trust, and outlining how our sessions will proceed.

Strengths

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my direct, honest, and compassionate approach, combined with my expertise in client-centered modality and the Gottman Method. I help clients explore and integrate various aspects of their personalities and improve their relationship dynamics. My ability to create a supportive and understanding environment allows clients to feel valued and heard, fostering significant personal and relational growth.

Ideal clients

I am best positioned to serve clients who are seeking to navigate and heal from complex emotional challenges such as personality disorders, mood disorders, and trauma. My therapeutic approach is particularly suited for individuals who appreciate a direct, honest, and compassionate interaction as they work towards personal growth. I also have a strong focus on couples and families, especially those within the LGBTQIA+ community, using the Gottman Method to enhance their relationship dynamics and foster a deeper understanding and connection among family members. My practice is inclusive and tailored to support those ready to engage deeply with their internal landscapes and interpersonal relationships.

Treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use a person-centered approach as the foundation of my work, creating a space where patients feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. My role isn’t to give advice or fix you—it’s to help you understand yourself more fully and support your own ability to grow and heal. I meet each person with empathy, honesty, and respect, allowing the therapeutic relationship itself to be a powerful tool for change.

This was the first time I had therapy in a while. All my past therapy sessions seemed lacking. My first session with Gino felt every revelatory and helpful. I look forward to working with Gino further.

Gino is incredibly intelligent and listens attentively. He genuinely tries to understand and asks thoughtful, targeted questions. He never makes me feel judged, ashamed, or discouraged about anything I share. If you value genuine, authentic, and direct people, you’ll love your sessions with Gino. I highly recommend him, and I’m excited to continue building my connection with him.
