Cristina Giaquinto
Hi there, I'm Shirley. Do you often feel weighed down by your feelings? Are you struggling with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Experience loneliness regularly? Talk to me if you are having difficulties or experience loneliness. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. We will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties. Help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and build meaningful social connections. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll embark on a journey towards your success. We'll start with introductions and then delve into the challenges you are facing. With a tailored plan we create together, we'll work towards overcoming these obstacles. I am confident that with dedication and perseverance, you will achieve greatness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my ability to listen, empathize, and build rapport and hope in my clients' lives. I have more than 12 years of experience with various clients who have dealt with trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have extensive experience with neuro-divergent clients, such as those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Eclectic
As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing you with the best possible therapy. I have gained knowledge and experience from several therapeutic modalities, and I consistently update my skills and interventions to offer you the most effective treatment. My approach involves a combination of techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Insight-oriented therapy, supportive therapy, empathetic listening, Bilateral stimulation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and Skills Training (including mindfulness, communication, limit-setting, relaxation, self-care, etc.). I also provide relevant psychoeducation on topics like addiction, codependency, trauma, grief, and more. At the beginning of our sessions, we will set goals. We will also review various treatment options and discuss the risks and benefits of each. In addition, I will provide you with relevant information to help you make informed decisions about your treatment. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve your goals and improve your overall well-being. I understand that therapy can be a vulnerable and intimidating experience, but I want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I will create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, work through challenges, and grow as an individual. Together, we can overcome whatever obstacles you may be facing and help you live a happier, healthier life.
EMDR
I have found that EMDR, along with some other treatment interventions, is the best approach to traumas, anxiety, and depression.
