Hello, I'm Dr. Gia. I’m originally from South Florida and proudly embrace my Colombian and Puerto Rican heritage. My journey in mental health began over a decade ago, working with community organizations and advocating for human equality. These experiences deepened my desire to better understand the human condition and support others in their healing. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology with a focus on the mind-body connection, particularly the brain-gut relationship. My clinical training spans a wide range of settings, including Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Health System.
I approach therapy through a holistic, person-centered, and strength-based lens, grounded in trauma-informed care. My integrative, individualized approach draws from:
DBT - Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; TF-CBT – Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - CCTP
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you’re not alone. You may be longing for more clarity, balance, or a deeper connection to yourself. In therapy, I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s holding you back and take steps toward lasting, meaningful change.
