The first step to successful psychotherapy is learning to recognize that you have emotions, both pleasant and unpleasant, and name them. Gianna will listen carefully to what you say, focus on meaningful points of your speech, and then help you articulate the emotions.
The second step is to learn that your life, up to now, has been largely controlled by the unconscious repetition of old emotional conflicts. Gianna’s job is to teach you what you didn’t learn in childhood about emotional honesty in relationships by speaking the truth in all things, so that you can learn how to relate to others in a healthy way. Gianna is not a paid friend or nanny.
The final step includes learning to recognize your emotions right in the present, at the very moment that they occur, and then making a conscious decision to do something new, something more healthy and beneficial to your well-being and the greater good, rather than merely being controlled by the unconscious repetition of old emotional conflicts.
Gianna works collaboratively with her clients when deciding which methods to use for short-term and longer-term treatments. Gianna also discovered that forgiveness is central to healing trauma and specializes in forgiveness therapy.
Gianna’s clinical consultation services include other licensed clinicians, provisionally licensed, and some graduate students in areas that she has experience and/or specializes.
Gianna’s services include providing expert consultations and testimony in a number of areas related to mental health, disability, trauma, and more.
All of the services that I provide are based on research, the law, and real-world experience, which I individualize based on your unique and specific needs.
I use tele-therapy to reach more people who want a private, secure, and convenient way to get help.
Appointments by phone or audio or video conferencing. Concierge (on-site) consultations are also available.
