Getting to know Andrea Gialanella

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for over 20 years. My work has been based around adolescents and families, as well as adults seeking to find meaningful ways to adapt to life’s stressors. My approach I prefer to approach therapy from a strengths-based focus. I am client-focused and allow my clients to lead with their needs, while fostering self-confidence and self-awareness. I utilize CBT as well as psychodynamic work. My focus I have had a long-term career working with adolescents and families. I have been successful in helping clients find and accept their true, authentic selves. I enjoy working on self-esteem, effective coping skills, as well as self-discovery. My communication style My approach is friendly, warm, and open-minded. I enjoy authentic communication and whatever that means for my clients. I find humor and authenticity to be extremely effective in establishing rapport and building self-esteem. My journey to mental healthcare When I was in undergraduate school, the Michael Jackson song “Man in the Mirror” came out. Its lyrics, especially the line “somebody’s broken heart and washed out dream, they follow the pattern of the wind you see, cause they got no place to be, that’s why I’m starting with me,” led to my passion for helping others. I have a true empathetic heart and find true meaning in helping others. My goals for you Collaboration is key to having effective outcomes. My first session with you We will review your history, as well as explore your preferred activities and the things that bring happiness and peace. We will develop a plan for your objectives and use a strength-based approach to create goals.
