When describing my work as a therapist, I often say that therapy is the art of having awkward conversations about things that most people prefer not to discuss. The things that come up during therapy sessions aren’t often broached around the dinner table or at social gatherings, so talking about them can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, and weird, especially if a person is worried about how others will respond. Sometimes, though, these conversations become necessary when mental health concerns start interfering with a person’s ability to live their life, enjoy their relationships, and reach their goals. This is where I come in.

Hi there! My name is Tabitha Giaquinto, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Delaware & North Carolina. I know finding a good match in a therapist can be difficult, especially if the idea of being vulnerable with someone brings a sense of discomfort. In my work with clients, I strive to provide unconditional positive support, a safe & inclusive environment for all, and individualized care for everyone I work with. I understand what it’s like to be on the couch of a therapist’s office and not know where to start, which gifts me the ability to understand & empathize with the uncertainty.

Some approaches that I have found to be transformative include somatic experience, EMDR, IFS and targeting attachment wounds through relational skill building.
Unresolved trauma is often at the root of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. It can dysregulate our nervous systems and keep us stuck in 'survival mode.' The same coping strategies that once protected us are now disrupting our relationships and everyday lives. The good news is that our minds and bodies want to heal. We just need to learn how to access the deeper parts and integrate them in a more adaptive way so that the past isn't always in the driver's seat. It is said “what you resist, persists”. I believe the practice of coming to know ourselves fully can be very powerful when we learn to trust our needs and intuitions.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
