GABRIELLA GIACHIN, LICENSED MASTER SOCIAL WORKER

Are you having a hard time distinguishing between what you want and what others want for you? Does your relationship with your parents affect your adult decision making in a way that feels a bit too much? Is the timeline you created for yourself earlier in life not exactly panning out the way you thought it might? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you’re not alone. I’ve created a therapy space for my clients in which the confusion of your early 20’s to early 30’s doesn’t have to feel so ambiguous, and establishing healthy boundaries feels possible. Through the use of humor and lightness, I help you feel safe, valued, and confident as you pave the path of your next chapter in life.

I utilize cognitive behavioral (CBT) & psychodynamic therapies to help clients navigate life transitions, improve their relationship with themselves, improve their confidence, and decrease relationship anxieties. Through my work, I’ve found that these therapeutic modalities are impactful for people who’s traumatic friendships earlier in life may be impacting the way they perceive themselves and their relationships with romantic partners, colleagues, friends, and family. I help my clients break down the nuances of their adult relationships and tease out the contributing factors, whether they be emotionally immature parents, or destructive patterns learned in past romantic relationships/friendships. Once they can identify the source of their pain, I love helping my clients feel empowerment as they figure out the role they play in their own lives and decision-making, and begin to enact change in a way that brings them peace, joy, and self-assuredness. 

Together, we can develop concrete skills to help you navigate change, manage in-the-moment stress during tough situations, and counteract your inner critic to help you find the self-love and compassion you deserve. If you think we’d be a good team in helping you tackle your goals, reach out today to set up your first session!


GABRIELLA’S APPROACH:

I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help my female clients find clarity. Through the use of humor and lightness, I hope to help you feel safe and valued. The space we will build together will bring levity into conversations that might otherwise be difficult to bear. I work with young adult women to navigate life transitions, improve their relationship with their body and improve their body confidence, and support them in finding solace and peace of mind.
