I am a licensed mental health counselor with 8 years of experience: treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. As a Black woman, I am aware of the emotional distress caused by systematic oppression often inflicted on people of color and oppressed groups: I address these experiences with compassion, sensitivity and honesty in session.

Healing Words Psychotherapy is a group of multi-cultural, multi-lingual (English and Mandarin at the moment) therapists that come from all walks of life, but we share one common passion: to connect with other human beings and to make a meaningful impact. Our clinicians have accumulated 10 years of experiences working with college students and young adults, and we focus on issues such as: adjustment difficulty, academic stress, social anxiety, relationship issues, identity development, etc.

When you have been at a low point for so long, it’s easy to be convinced that’s all there is. Instead of focusing on the negative, I look for strengths that will help you deal with challenges. We will also celebrate small victories. Sessions are full of high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and positivity to motivate and pump you up. The focus is on what you do right and how you can believe in yourself again to be what you want. My office is a judgment-free zone. I will ask questions, listen intently, provide perspective, and give feedback. All to help you move forward. I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of talking about yourself. It’s not always easy to do. My intention is for you to feel comfortable saying anything that comes to mind. It’s when you let their guard down that you can be your truest self and open to new possibilities. Everything I do is based on evidence about how the mind and body are connected and what you need to do in everyday situations to make them work for them – not against them. You are continuing to grow and adapt to new situations. It’s crucial to apply strategies that work at every stage. You can be assured that methods will be measurable, so you will “see” the progress you make.

We are an online counseling group therapy practice where you can receive the mental health treatment you deserve from your comfy surroundings! We offer phone and video counseling, on your time.

I work with individuals, couples, and families through a primarily psychodynamic framework. Through insight-oriented work with a focus on interpersonal relationship dynamics, attachment, and family systems, it is my goal to help the people I work with uncover repressed trauma from childhood and adolescence in order to gain a more nuanced understanding about their unhealthy relationship dynamics, from past and present, in order to live healthier and more fulfilling lives. I enjoy helping my patients develop a deeper sense of self-awareness in order to understand their emotional and interpersonal struggles. There are many different approaches to therapy, and it is my belief that it is best to adapt to the needs of each person I work with. We often learn to understand ourselves, and the actions and behaviors of others, through the lens of our early life experiences. It is my goal to help you disentangle the complex webs that we all form, which may feel insurmountable to conquer alone. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where we will explore uncharted areas of your life to make connections between prior experiences and current emotions in order to develop insight and growth. I strive to foster a compassionate healing environment in which I will help you form inner coping resources, so you may develop healthy relationships, gain self-esteem, and find relief from emotional distress. It is my goal to tailor treatment to fit your individual needs. Some of the most rewarding aspects of my work involve being able to assess your strengths, share that information with you, and help you implement those strengths in a positive way. When you are ready to take the next step, please call or email me for a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you soon. *I am currently seeing patients for both virtual and in-person appointments.

Let’s get rooted together in finding your voice and honoring your story. Let's nurture your truth together. My name is Gina - I'm a cisgender female therapist who has been providing psychotherapy for over 10 years. I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to reach your goals!

Our Mission Statement: An Innovative Approach to Therapy Here at Tompkins Community Counseling, we tailor to your needs and will work in the environment that is best for you. Our goal is to provide you with professional, client-led, goal-based counseling, while working in whatever setting is most comfortable for you— in the community, online, or in our office. We understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and discuss your life challenges, so we try to make the journey as comfortable as possible for you. Simply put, we achieve this by following your lead throughout the counseling process. We use a Client-Led Counseling model, finding strengths that you already have and building on them to reach resolutions. We follow the pace of our clients to help them achieve control over their lives, helping them make positive choices by offering them specific tools and practical strategies for change. We also practice a wide variety of treatment models and support you in choosing one that is a good fit for you. We will help you to define your long term goals, allowing our sessions to be driven by focused goals that will lead to a successful discharge.

We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move through life with more self-awareness and confidence.

I have been in practice for over 30 years. My practice specializes in anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, phobias, and "life issues." I see college students dealing with stress and anxiety relating to college, career decisions, relationship issues. Also see people who are struggling with bereavement, adoption issues. I work with people of different ages/stages: Young adults, mid-life and senior citizens. When dealing with life issues and anxiety I use Cognitive/Behavioral therapy techniques as well as psychodynamic techniques. When dealing with phobias, I believe in helping patients learn techniques to help relieve some of their anxiety symptoms and then working on their thoughts/cognitions which effect how they talk to themselves. My philosophy is : Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Isn't it time you started enjoying yours.

Those who seek my services are often looking to quiet their anxious minds, set boundaries in their relationships, and feel more confident on their life path. Trying to balance personal relationships with career/school, all while trying to convince everyone that you're in control and that you know what you're doing is exhausting. Life doesn't have to feel this hard! Our work together will involve identifying and removing barriers to your ideal life. Often that means learning to quiet the anxious voice inside your mind, shifting perspective, and unlearning the behaviors which have kept you stuck for so long. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. That is why I take the time to get to know you, see issues through your perspective, and create an individualized plan to help you reach your goals.

Do you feel like you want to realize your true potential, but nothing you do is working? It must be so frustrating to know you can do more but not be able to get there. Creating a meaningful life is challenging, and we can often feel like we are failing, losing our sense self, struggling in relationships, or feeling anxious and empty. Not knowing the solution can be really scary, but we can work together to find the light in your darkness. I offer a culturally relevant approach to navigate these concerns. My passion has been to work with individuals and couples to become improved versions of themselves. I create an easygoing space grounded in understanding, transparency and humor where you can bring your true self. I will challenge you to grow in a way that reflects your goals. During this journey, we may face some unknowns, but I hold this uncertainty with you and encourage you to embrace the discomfort with me. I do not think this is easy by any means but I want to face this with you. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I am available from Sunday to Thursday from 3pm to 10pm PDT. I truly look forward to meeting you.

My clients seek support in developing coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges associated with the college experience. My foundational approach is rooted in person-centered and strengths-based principles. I employ an eclectic toolkit with methods from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Creative Arts Therapies, and Design Thinking to guide the therapeutic process. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working across diverse settings such as medical clinics, universities, corporate environments, and private practice. This journey has allowed me to connect deeply with people as they share their experiences and craft their intended stories. What energizes me is collaborating with clients as they navigate their unique life paths. My goal is to provide a nurturing and inclusive space that promotes healing – a place where clients feel safe to explore challenges and cultivate a practice of self-compassion.

Okay, let me guess — life feels like a lot right now. You’re overwhelmed, drained, and stuck in patterns that just aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re questioning your relationships, struggling at work, or wondering why you feel so disconnected. That glass of whiskey, wine, or weed isn’t helping like it used to. With nearly 20 years of experience, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process difficult emotions, release what’s weighing you down, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll create a path toward feeling more grounded and at peace. I help people work through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and feeling emotionally drained. ART helps resolve distressing memories quickly, while IFS helps you understand and care for the parts of yourself that feel stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is compassionate and direct — focused on helping you feel more grounded and in control of your life. You don’t have to figure it out alone. While you might not feel it right now, you know you’re ready for change. I’d be honored to support you as you take the first step toward relief and clarity. I’m out-of-network with insurance, but we can explore ways to make it work. You’re worth the effort — reach out when you’re ready.
