Getting to know Dr. Liana Petruzzi

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults—particularly those navigating chronic health conditions—within healthcare and hospital settings. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I’ve received training in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing, and I’m currently deepening my skills through training in problem-solving therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy should be a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I take a strengths-based approach, working from the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I’m here to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with care and curiosity, while honoring all the identities and parts of yourself that make you who you are. Together, we’ll make space for reflection, healing, and—when you’re ready—intentional action.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I typically offer short-term therapy (8-12 weeks), but I have also worked with individuals up to one year when needed. Every person comes to therapy with unique needs, goals, and life experiences. You can expect our time together to feel collaborative and grounded in what matters most to you—whether that’s clarity, coping tools, encouragement, or simply a space to be.
