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 Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore and heal various aspects of themselves. 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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming and safe environment where we begin by discussing their goals and challenges. I focus on understanding each client’s unique background and needs, establishing trust, and outlining how our sessions will proceed. This initial meeting is crucial for setting the foundation of our therapeutic relationship, where clients can share openly and start their journey toward healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my direct, honest, and compassionate approach, combined with my expertise in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Gottman Method. I excel in helping 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.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
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.

Virtual & in-personMy 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.
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method in my work with couples and families to help improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. This approach offers practical tools and strategies grounded in decades of research, which I integrate into sessions in a way that’s direct, supportive, and tailored to each relationship. Whether we’re working through conflict, disconnection, or long-standing patterns, my goal is to help partners feel heard, respected, and more connected to each other.
