Hello, my name is Giannina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with more than 20 years of experience. I am firm believer that any individual with the right tools can overcome any type of challenge in their life, that is why my trademark is "Steer towards hope." I am committed and very passionate about helping clients find the hope they need to move forward. Throughout my many years of working with different individuals, families and couples, I guide my clients to break patterns and vicious cycles of depression, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, various addictions, fear, grief and anxiety among other trials that life brings our way. In order to meet my client's needs in the best way possible, my approach towards therapy is to apply a humanistic, integrative and evidence-based approach. The treatments I provide mainly consist of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I can only tell you, this journey in which we will focus on your strengths, the solutions not the problems, and reaching your full potential will make all the difference in your life.
In our first session together, you'll find a compassionate and caring space where your concerns are truly heard and respected. As a therapist who practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my goal is to help you embrace your thoughts and feelings while guiding you toward actions that align with your deepest values. We'll work together to uncover what matters most to you, creating a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Your journey is unique, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Through my work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, I have cultivated strong expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship conflicts, and addiction—areas in which I demonstrate my greatest clinical strengths.
I am best positioned to serve clients aged 18 and over who are dealing with a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, hopelessness, relationship difficulties, chronic pain, and the individuals who feel stuck in patterns of negative thinkings or behaviors and are seeking a way to break free and live more fully. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating complex relationships or coping with the ongoing effects of trauma or chronic pain, I provide a compassionate and supportive environment where we can work together to build resilience, find meaning, acceptance and create positive change.
