Committed to personalized care, Georena helps clients navigate change and achieve meaningful, lasting well-being.
In our first session, we focus on building rapport and creating a safe, supportive space for you. I’ll gather important information to begin the assessment process, review any relevant measures, and explore the reasons you’re seeking therapy. This helps us understand your goals and set a clear path forward for your journey toward growth and well-being.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to combine a nurturing, compassionate approach with straightforward honesty. I focus on identifying your strengths, reframing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and supporting you in creating meaningful change. My style is warm and supportive, yet practical, helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. My ideal clients are those who are ready to explore their patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and take steps toward meaningful change. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help clients build resilience, find balance, and move toward their personal goals.
I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for over 15 years, which has helped me understand the connection between my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT has been a valuable tool for reframing patterns and supporting overall well-being.
I have been using Motivational Interviewing for the past 15 years to help people uncover their own motivation and confidence to change. It’s a respectful, client-centered approach that works especially well with addiction and other behavior changes.
I’m trained in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps people build on their strengths and create practical solutions for meaningful change.
