“Gina is an exceptionally trained and warm clinician. From the very first session, she creates a space that feels genuinely safe and warm — the kind of trust that makes it possible to actually open up. What sets her apart is how she combines psychodynamic talk therapy with body-based creative arts approaches, which helps me access and express emotions I didn't even know I was carrying. She's deeply attuned, both to herself and to me, and that allowed her to meet me exactly where I was without rushing the process. At the same time, she gently pushed me toward the goals I set for myself, in a way that always felt supportive rather than pressuring. I can't recommend her highly enough”

Getting to know Gina Ricker
I'm Gina; I hold a Masters of Science in Creative Arts Therapy, and I would be honored to support you on your mental health journey. I have five years of experience providing talk therapy, specializing in movement and body-focused psychotherapy. I take a client-led approach, which ensures every person receives individualized care based on their unique needs. Building trust is the foundation of our work together, so I encourage a collaborative environment to support your exploration and growth. You are the authority of your experience. I'm here to help you uncover patterns of behavior in a safe environment, assess coping mechanisms and learn new skills, and build resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Collaboration is at the center of our work together. The most healing component of any psychotherapy is the relationship we co-create within this professional setting. Building this therapeutic relationship takes time. The ongoing communication of your needs is vital to our process.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I like to begin with a free 15-minute consultation call. Here, we talk through your expectations for therapy, any goals you are working toward, and cover any questions you may have for me. I outline my approach, policies, insurance or private pay options, and other details. During this first meeting, you can get an idea if working together will be a good fit for you and your needs. If you decide to continue, I will reach out to schedule your first session.

Gina was really kind, caring, and attentive. I felt seen and heard, and it was clear she was engaged the whole time. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I felt well looked after the whole time and in very good hands.
