I could not recommend Gianna more! She is not just passionate about what she does and the care she provides; she is collaborative. She truly wants her clients to receive the best care. I have seen this many times firsthand as Gianna, and I have collaborated to ensure our clients receive specialized care from both of us. I highly recommend Gianna!
Gianna is a compassionate and collaborative therapist who is actively engaged and has a deep understanding of mind and body connection. Gianna provides great feedback and I value Gianna's therapy style.
Gianna is one of the best therapists I know. She’s genuine and real with her clients, and is an expert when it comes to providing individualized, strengths-based care to teens and adults with eating disorders. If you’re looking for a therapist who makes you feel seen and understood, without just silently listening to you talk, look no further. Not only is she a talk therapist, but she’s also a board-certified art therapist who can offer the options of using creativity and visual art to work through experiences and emotions on a deeper level.
Gianna is a thoughtful, caring clinician and art therapist with specific expertise in eating disorders, body image, depression, and self-harm concerns. She's great with both teens and adults!
