Getting to know Gianna Thompson

Hi there, I'm Gianna! My name is Gianna, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. For over 15 years, I have been working with individuals struggling with severe mental illness, which has provided me with a wealth of experience. In my years as a therapist, I've seen that trauma and anxiety are prevalent in almost all of us. My approach I have a client-centered approach, which means I use one of many therapeutic applications depending on my client's needs. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, the Strengths-Based model, and many more. I am most concerned with creating a safe environment, which is essential for one's growth. My focus Currently, I work with adults whose grief, anxiety, or past trauma have caused an impasse and are keeping them from living the life they want. My passion is helping women cope with the grief and trauma they have survived throughout their lives. This can include postpartum mental illness, PTSD due to abuse, or simply the stress we experience from the multiple demands we face daily. I work with clients to overcome feelings of hopelessness and truly learn how to care for and love themselves. My communication style My warmth and compassion are my biggest strengths. I believe a solid relationship with your therapist is key to growth and change, and I’m not here to tell you what you should be doing or could have done differently—I know how unhelpful that is. But I understand the parts you can’t put into words: the hard things, the guilt, and the anxiety you feel. My journey to mental healthcare I am a people person who finds it most rewarding to connect with others and show up for those I care about. After a short stint teaching, I realized I wanted to help families on a much deeper level, and so began my 20-year career.
