Getting to know Gina Rios

Hi there, I'm Gina! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from Newport Beach, California, with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I work with adult clients and specialize in addiction, anxiety, grief, and depression. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help clients learn effective tools to get to the root of their suffering. My approach I focus on the needs of the client and understanding how they think. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients challenge distorted thinking and Narrative Therapy to create self-empowering beliefs. My focus I work with clients motivated to discover obstacles holding them back from living a full life. I help clients develop skills to manage stress and anxiety, especially in relationships. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and the underlying issues leading to shame and guilt. My communication style I have a compassionate and open communication style. I want clients to feel heard and validated when sharing their feelings and thoughts. I am curious and genuinely interested in each client and remain engaged throughout therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I have been interested in human behavior since I was young. I like people and am curious about what makes them think and behave the way they do. Having overcome many of my own adversities, I am amazed by how resilient people can be. I enjoy helping others transform their lives because it is never too late to try. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients to discover their goals in therapy. Active listening helps identify the most important needs and create effective interventions. Making changes can be part of the process to help you move forward.
