LPC, 17 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am a LPC licensed therapist in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin. I have been practicing for 17 years and received my PhD in marriage and family therapy with specialization in couples therapy. Although I work with a variety of issues, I specialize in working with trauma (I use EMDR therapy), personality disorders, couples therapy and eating disorders.
Getting to know if I am the right fit for them and that they can feel hope in reaching their personal goals for therapy. Answering any questions about the process of healing.
Having worked as a therapist for 17 years I have had the great opportunity to sit with people through struggle, pain and healing. Seeing the transformation that is possible when able to build a good rapport for people to feel safe being vulnerable.
Clients that I work with want to heal from trauma or life circumstances that have made them feel stuck, struggling with relationships, identity of themselves. I work with eating disorders and how to have a better relationship with food and their own body.

Gia gave a vibe of having a chat with your best friend. Her authentic approach helped ease that guard. I appreciated her honesty along with sensitivity to triggers. She created a trusting environment right away. I’m excited to dive in with the work! I’m very hopeful in navigating a difficult situation with some tools on hand, also knowing that next appointment will be a needed grounding opportunity.

I have had an eating disorder since I was in middle school. I’ve never had someone speak to me with the depth of knowledge and insight that Gia has. I look forward to speaking with her each session.
