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.

Every day, you and your partner seem to drift further apart. It’s happened so slowly that you barely even realized it. Unspoken frustrations became lingering resentments that gradually destabilized the entire foundation of your relationship. After years of disloyalty, you can no longer trust each other. When you try to talk about how you’re feeling, it feels like your words go unheard, echoing in an empty chamber. Every attempt at finding some solution has come up short, and your interventions feel as useless as placing a Band-Aid on a broken limb. You know that something needs to change, but you’re out of ideas. It feels hopeless.

Searching for a therapist can be an overwhelming process. It is difficult to reach out for help when you are in emotional distress or pain, but the rewards to your life and well-being are worthwhile. For our time to be effective, it is important that you feel able to communicate openly and honestly. My certification in EMDR allows me to bring the mind, emotion, and body into our sessions and treat clients more holistically. I specialize in working with trauma and healing from difficult childhood experiences that may be affecting your present day life.

HEALING IS AN ACTION WORD. It can be overwhelming finding a therapist. Reaching out for help can be difficult in itself. You’ve already taken the biggest step!

Even if we are not the best fit for you, we can provide a safe, confidential space to examine your needs in order to find the best provider for you.
