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).

My practice in unique, because I specialize in incorporating modalities that process trauma, such as EMDR, with relation-based therapies, such as TBRI, and I incorporate all of these with experiential modalities that ease and speed processing, such as sand tray therapy, play therapy, and art therapy.
Sometimes, even the greatest, strongest parents, grandparents, and caregivers need a little bit of assistance helping kids and teens work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point in life. Today, kids and teens are facing those challenges earlier than ever. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma recovery, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope. I would be honored to assist your child and your family in unlocking the confidence and resiliency that will lead to a brighter tomorrow.

As a therapist specializing in EMDR and Holistic mental health, I offer a safe, confidential space, tailoring sessions to the specific needs of all 5 (yes, 5!) layers of your being.
Are you ready to break cycles of trauma, dysfunction, and anxiety this season? My clients are striving for peace as they pursue a life that looks/feels dramatically different than that of just one generation before. They're are often the first in their family to achieve something (e.g., college, purchase a home, generational wealth, avoid substance abuse, etc.,). While their culture is deeply meaningful to them, they can find themselves "caught between worlds", struggling to set healthy boundaries with friends and family who don't quite get it or feeling guilty when they do. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
