“Her sincere and authentic ways resonate so well with my interests and needs in coming for therapy. I find that I'm comfortable sharing a lot about more esoteric and existential concerns and confusions I've had for a very long time, and in doing so am finding more language and clarity about my inner life, and working with my perspectives and feelings.”

Getting to know Gina Giarrusso
We all possess resilience and strength to achieve healing and personal growth. It is my privilege to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and move toward joy through a client-centered therapy approach. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley. I have experience working in trauma hospital acute care and emergency department settings, and I specialize in processing trauma for medical workers, EMS, and fire personnel, along with clients and their caregivers who have been impacted by medical issues. My personality is friendly and down-to-earth, and in my personal life, I enjoy punk shows, cemeteries, and international travel. I look forward to tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I utilize a strength-based perspective, direct communication, and touch of humor to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. I practice through a lens of cultural humility and strive to create a welcoming therapeutic space that acknowledges systemic oppression's impact on mental health.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
