Transgender Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

Hi, I'm Giorgio. Thank you for being here. I support individuals dealing with a range of psychological challenges, including grief, feelings of hopelessness, severe anxiety, panic disorders, addiction issues, relationship difficulties, and managing challenging life transitions.

We all want to be happy. However, past trauma, relationship problems and emotional ups and downs can get in the way. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, anger outbursts or other unwanted emotions? Have you tried therapy in the past that “didn't work”? Do you feel that no one really understands you? Are you frustrated, helpless or stuck? I want to know your heart’s desire and inspire and support you on your journey. I share a gentle mind-body approach to trauma and DBT to explore ineffective thoughts, behaviors and emotions. I incorporate principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy and DBT to help heal relationships.

I also enjoy working with clients who want to clarify their values, develop self compassion, and learn how to "take up more space" in their lives and relationships. It's very important to me that my practice feels inclusive of all types of people, so I 'd also like to introduce myself to you as a cisgender, gay man, who is half Korean and half Caucasian.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

Do you and your partner have different ideas of how often you should have sex or about the quality of it? Are you experiencing shame or pain when trying to engage with a partner sexually?

Do you worry that you might be addicted to porn or sex? Are you and your partner struggling to communicate and feel like all you do anymore is argue? I'm here to help you address those issues and more in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Do you feel like your emotions are in control? Are you overwhelmed by certain emotions, unable to allow yourself feel them? Oftentimes our emotions are behind the wheel, driving our behavior, but we struggle to understand their roots. Hopefully together we can uncover your needs, how to meet them, and how to shed unhelpful habits that were temporarily meeting those needs. We will talk about how to recognize distorted thoughts, evaluate their evidence, and reformat them into positive self-talk. Doing so will help you feel more confident in yourself, less occupied with worrying, and more capable of facing whatever may come your way.

Sex and intimacy are some of our most basic needs in life, and I specialize in finding options to allow more joyfully connected living.
