Getting to know Gianna Volkes

I work with individuals 16 and older, offering a supportive, collaborative space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is personalized and practical, blending mindfulness and tailored coping tools with thoughtful reflection to help clients navigate challenges, build insight, and create meaningful, long-lasting change. My approach I believe in therapy feeling "human" rather than overly rigid. I find most of my clients appreciate my realness and relatability. Appropriate humor can be a powerful tool for connection and healing. While sessions may feel natural and conversational, we remain intentional and goal-focused, always working toward growth and positive change. My focus My ideal clients are those who are seeking a trusted space to better understand themselves and their experience. I prioritize active listening, followed by thoughtful questioning to assist clients in arriving at their own realizations and solutions while gently challenging to reflect, gain insight, increase self awareness and foster empowerment. My communication style I create a safe, stress-free space where you can free your thoughts and worries with absolutely no judgment. Creating comfort in a vulnerable space is the top priority. I always meet my clients with an unbiased perspective, compassion, and patience. My journey to mental healthcare Since childhood, I have been that go-to person for those in my life when they needed advice or a shoulder to lean on. I have always felt drawn to helping others and knew this was the right path for me from a young age. I feel grateful to be in a position where I get to witness positive growth in others and help make a difference in people's lives. My goals for you Together, we can work towards goals as a team. We'll incorporate mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques to help shift your negative thoughts to positive ones. During sessions, I provide clients with various tools and pair them with talk therapy.
