I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience helping clients with challenges of depression, anxiety, stress management and family issues.
Are you tired of the constant struggle from emotional eating and the way it makes you feel? Maybe you've been a chronic dieter and have developed disordered eating pattens & a poor body image. You have tried all the things & all the ways out there but have never been able to feel at peace with your body. You dream of a way to feel comfortable & to develop a healthy relationship with food. Maybe you are recovering from an eating disorder & are managing the triggers & need additional support. If this cycle sounds familiar then I am here to tell you that developing food freedom is possible.

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).

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
