Getting to know Francesca Giordano
Welcome and thanks for stopping by! Are you feeling stuck, confused, anxious, or sad? Have you exhausted your resources and find that the usual ways of managing are no longer helping? You are in the right place. I earned my Master's in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton, and I'd like to partner with you by sharing my life experience, clinical training, and best practices to support you in working toward the life you dream of. With your guidance, I will support your goals using enduring and effective mental health principles. Everyone, at some point, needs a helping hand, and I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am Francesca Giordano, a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I have been licensed in California and then Colorado since 2002. I draw experience from my 5 years of work with the seriously mentally ill adult population providing therapy, social work services and creating and implementing support groups as well as my position at a large community college as the student health services on-campus therapist. I have also worked inpatient with at -risk adolescents offering process groups and behavior management. My work is guided by your needs and goals. I use the techniques and approach that will fit best with your current struggles and needs. Typically, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Family Systems and Client Centered Theories.
My mission in partnering with Reachlink is to meet your thoughts, feelings and actions with trust and understanding to support you in accessing your innate gifts and personal wisdom. We'll help you build the most important relationship, the one with yourself while offering you deeper insight into your situation as well as offer practical tools you can use immediately.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
