Getting to know Skylar Giarusso
Skylar Giarusso is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes real change happens slowly, in the quiet, steady work of showing up for yourself week after week. She sees therapy as a relationship, one built on trust, honesty, and the willingness to look at the parts of life that feel hardest to face. Her style is warm and down to earth, the kind of presence that makes it easier to say the things you've been holding onto.
Skylar offers a range of individualized services, including individual therapy, couples counseling, and group work. She supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, LGBTQ+ identity, substance use, burnout, health concerns, and the bigger questions about meaning and purpose that so many of us carry quietly.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with Skylar is a process, not a quick fix. The most meaningful breakthroughs tend to come a few months in, not a few sessions in, and she gently asks her clients to come in with patience and a willingness to commit to the work. She recommends meeting weekly, especially at the start, so the relationship has time to build and the deeper work has room to take root. If you're looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and a real commitment to the long game, Skylar is someone worth getting to know.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Skylar begins by simply getting to know you, what's bringing you in, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping might feel different. From there, she works collaboratively to shape a direction that fits your goals, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, family systems, trauma-focused work, and inner child healing as needed. Rather than following a formula, she meets you where you are and adjusts as the work unfolds. Sessions are a balance of meaningful conversation, gentle challenge, and practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.
