I use special techniques that have been proven to work, like CBT, Gottman Method Therapy, DBT, IFS, and EMDR.

Are you on the brink of divorce? No one deserves to feel alone. Life takes a village. We live in a time where there is every platform to connect, yet individuals feel more alone than ever, everyone behind devices, individuals lost and disconnected. You are not alone. With over 15+ years of experience working with clients on their journey of personal growth and healing, we can work together to create a healthier version of you.

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.

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.

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
