I also speak Spanish and provide faith-based Christian counseling upon request.
Experiencing a battle in your mind where thoughts such as, "will this situation ever change?", "I feel so hopeless" or "I feel stuck", can be overwhelming at times. Often, these are usually accompanied by feelings of frustration, anger, sadness, anxiety,shame, guilt, fear or hopelessness. If you identified with some of these statements or emotions, you are not alone. I seek to provide a safe, private and caring place where individuals share their feelings, process their thoughts and in return feel supported and understood. As counseling takes place you will gain practical tools to help you deal with life's difficulties in more effective ways.

My name is Carolanne Giordano and I am a licensed therapist. I specialize in mental health, trauma and addiction (SAP). After experiencing personal struggles at a young age, I developed a passion for helping others. I empower clients to overcome obstacles in their professional and personal life. I have found that many clients have spent a lifetime avoiding the very things they most need to discuss in therapy, which can lead to a worsening in mental health symptoms and a decrease in happiness. I utilize evidence-based interventions such as; EMDR (trauma), Gottman method Level l (couples therapy), and TF-CBT (adolescence).

Committed relationships can bring so much joy, connection, and excitement. In time, these feelings may be harder to search for as you realize it feels more like roommates that life partners. Maybe resentment, bitterness, anger and feelings of rejection are building in the interactions between you and your partner. Even more painful can be the discovery of infidelity.

I understand that seeking therapy can often feel intimidating. I believe it can be helpful to have an idea of what to expect. An initial session would consist of gaining some background information and exploring what you are seeking counseling for. Every individual is unique and has current and past life experiences that have affected the person in various ways. Issues should be therapeutically addressed based on the individual, as opposed to taking a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Effective therapy results from empathy, understanding and a collaboration between therapist and client to work towards finding healing and resolving issues.

Are you a woman who feels like your life is not your own? Some days your life’s blessing’s; your career, marriage and children feel more like challenges. You may even feel guilty about feeling this way. You tirelessly care and support others, but struggle to do the same for yourself. Your efforts to be everything for everyone has caused you to feel depressed, anxious and possibly resentful at times. You’re not even certain when you lost yourself and even less certain how to discover the woman you desire to be. You WANT to recognize the woman staring back in the mirror; you WANT to be physically, emotionally and spiritually abundant.

Christian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?

Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?

Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?

While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?

The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
