Gail Marina Giunta, LMHC
More Than Talk Therapy!
I'm the therapist clients come to for direct compassionate feedback and Somatic based trauma informed therapy.
While talk therapy serves a purpose; there is no endless venting without insightful feedback going on in my sessions which many clients report my direct and warm style are refreshing antidotes to their previous frustrations with therapy...There are no blank stares and head nodding from me.
I'm Gail Marina, your Somatic-EMDR trauma therapist. My passion
is to help clients gently take the steps from Stuck & Stressed to moving forward with the inner sense and wisdom of your body. We work together to help you build the tools to reduce trauma, wounds, and emotional suffering to make life decisions and live with more ease and freedom.
