Hello my name is Gina. I have been working as a therapist for over 15 years. My experience is extensive and have spent much of my career working with those experiencing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, interpersonal and family conflict, stress and anger management, grief and loss, bipolar disorder and issues related to psychosis. I have worked in both faith based and non faith based environments depending on my client’s preference. I am licensed as an LCSW and obtained my degrees from New York University (NYU) and my bachelors degree at Eastern University (EU). My training is in psychodynamic theory and my practice reflects this by utilizing an ecliptic therapeutic approach of psychoanalytical practice and behavioral interventions. Therapy can be an effective tool in the healing process and can help people gain insight and control over otherwise overwhelming circumstances. I believe in an approach which works at a pace that the client determines and is comfortable with. I like to offer feedback and reflection as the therapist and explore both the underlying emotions and roots to behaviors as well as tangible steps to changing undesired feelings, thoughts, behaviors and circumstances. Therapeutic approaches I utilize stem from CBT, DBT, IPT, and psychodynamic interventions.

If you are dealing with multiple challenges/obstacles you need to know how to deal with them. Oftentimes we don't feel like we have a handle on our emotions, or how to deal with our personal/work/family relationships. And when such difficulties arise; one cannot function effectively in life. The first step is to acknowledge that you want to feel better hence wanting to change your thinking and behavior. My goal in working with you is to get you to a better space where you develop a clearer, stronger, positive, and self -reflective view of yourself and the environment around you. With many years of experience and practice, I offer an empathetic, warm, friendly, and honest approach to therapy which will hopefully help you learn more about yourself. As a therapist, my treatment style is solution focused hence I like working with clients in short-term treatment who are coming to therapy for crises intervention and/or a goal specific need. In the beginning of working with me I will want to know what brought you to treatment in your own words, and what you would like to get out of treatment. In addition depending on the work that I a m doing with you; I may provide you with literature for you to read and/or strategies/techniques to work on during your treatment process. I believe in the client being an active participant in their treatment process. I believe in holding my clients accountable for their actions; which I believe helps build healthy confidence as they navigate how to resolve their problems. In addition I believe understanding where someone came from culturally and environmentally is essential in helping them go forward. I will always acknowledge and validate a client''s culture, background, as well as their true authentic self.
