I believe effective psychotherapy fosters one part of the path towards wholeness. Past hurts, the voice of the inner critic, emotional dysregulation, and traumatic experiences can fragment the self, and break away our inner strengths and resources. I aim to help relocate those strengths and inner resiliencies by facilitating exploration and implementing appropriate best-practice tools. Together, we can navigate the psychological barriers and free up the inner entanglement. "Wholeness is not so much perfection as completeness." -C.G. Jung.

Ditch Shame, Reclaim Authenticity! I help people who struggle with low self worth start to value themselves. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being great at their careers, supportive of those they love and able to handle what gets thrown at them, life is challenging. When they first come in, they are very hard on themselves, feeling helpless and even experiencing moments of self-hatred. When they take a moment to sit with themselves they often feel disappointed, ashamed and embarrassed.

Jennifer Ann Giancola
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT
Verified
My work focuses on the process of acceptance and integration of aspects of ourselves that we like and those that we find challenging. We all struggle at times with self-doubt and self-worth issues. These feelings are difficult to cope with and hinder our ability to really get to know ourselves and others. Through conversation and a deep curiosity and caring about my client's, I help to broaden their understanding of themselves. My clients begin to have more authentic experiences by finding meaning in their life experiences and gaining new insights that help them achieve their personal goals.

It can feel increasingly challenging to maintain a healthy mood these days. Much of the information we navigate is designed to goad our fear of the future or regrets from our past. Practicing Mindfulness is a bridge to the present moment. It can help rinse that fear and regret from our thinking so we can focus on what's actually happening. In this way, it can help us consider the things we actually have some control over and make better choices for our own wellbeing.
Dina Daleo
Psychologist, PsyD

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to feel better and to grow as a person. Therapy can alleviate symptoms like anxiety or depression, provide insight into what makes you happy, and help you develop your most genuine and creative self. Symptom relief and self development are achieved by providing you with a safe and empathetic environment, by exploring the role of unconscious forces in your decision making, and by linking your present relationships to past ones, particularly those of your family of origin. I do this while respecting your autonomy and your right to make your own decisions.

If you just keep racing on that career treadmill, surely you will get where you are meant to be, right? But does it sometimes feel like the dream is beyond your grasp? Maybe anxiety, depression, or something else that you don’t know what to call is tugging at you. Or changes have come along that disrupt your sense of wellbeing. Perhaps it feels overwhelming or unachievable to balance the competing interests of work, relationships, family, and your future goals. Or the goals you once had don’t quite fit anymore. And where does that leave you?

Many of the people who consult with me identify as artists, writers, filmmakers, educators, activists, sex workers, queer, transgender, nonbinary, polyamorous/non-monogamous, or are living in resistance to social norms in one way or another. Problems can seem to take over our lives when we choose live near the edges of what's deemed "acceptable," "respectable," or even "healthy."

Well, it's hit the fan! No matter how you slice it, life since March 2020 has been a doozy. You're in what seems like an never ending pandemic and the future is uncertain. Maybe you're excited the world is opening back up or you feel so stuck, confused, and overwhelmed you want to pull the covers over your head and secretly wish the world would go away. You want to do things differently but don't know HOW. Personal growth is cool but all the self-help books, online yoga workshops, and traditional talk therapy options are coming up short. Guess what? You've just struck gold. I'm here to offer you something different.

We are not always equipped with the skills needed to do life and the obstacles that come our way. Oppressive experiences, trauma, dominant narratives, and social conditioning from our upbringing effect our emotions, moods, nervous systems, and sense of self. It can cause us to experience: depression, anxiety, low self-value, difficulty staying present, and problems with our interpersonal relationships. You want to make changes, but it can be challenging if you don’t know how or where to start. I would like to collaborate and through our relationship, work towards becoming the authentic, whole person that already resides in you.
