Getting to know Signe Schiavo

Hi there, I'm Signe! You are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and be the best version of yourself. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to resolve the hindrances that challenges in your life may have caused. My approach I conceptualize most problems and obstacles from a cognitive behavioral perspective. Our thoughts impact how we feel, which in turn affects how we behave and respond. Looking at those thoughts more closely and unpacking whether they are true or not can bring a lot of freedom and joy. My focus I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, and mid-age adults, both males and females. I have many years of experience working with adults dealing with depressive and/or anxious symptoms, stress, relationship problems, and phases of life transitions. My communication style Depending on my clients’ needs, I communicate with questions that prompt them to consider ideas they may not have thought about before, or sometimes with more direct statements and ideas they need to hear. Previous clients have described my communication style as kind and gentle; however, I am also direct and solution-focused when needed. My journey to therapy I went into therapy because I enjoy helping people. When someone seeks counseling, they are usually struggling and in one of the hardest seasons of their life. I enjoy being someone who can shine a light on that dark season and be a lighthouse, so clients can walk themselves out of what is causing the problem or hindering them from thriving. My goals for you I work collaboratively with my clients to create treatment goals and revisit these regularly to ensure our time is productive and moving in the agreed-upon direction.
