Therapists in Wilmington, NC

Have you ever told people that you had a "normal" childhood and you believed it at the time? But now that you are a little older, you are seeing some cracks in that version of normal? Perhaps you are starting to make connections about how events from the past are impacting you today- holding you back and creating stress in the difference between your goals and vision for yourself and what you can create or accomplish right now.

Hello! My name is Gina Solari. I believe that the strongest therapeutic relationship starts by meeting each client where they are. Every person is unique, with their own lived experiences that they bring with them. My role as a therapist is to set the stage for a non-judgmental, safe environment, where clients feel supported, heard, and respected. I will actively listen, provide tools and resources, and offer solutions to help each person on their individual journey.

My hope is to provide you with a safe environment to explore how your lived experiences have impacted you and may be directing your beliefs, actions, and relationships. I love to work with clients on issues including self-worth, anxiety, stress, life transitions, family of origin issues, and people affected by divorce or family changes. I utilize many theories, often pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care.
