RACHEL JANNAZZO, MA ATR LPCC
After 15 years of work with people of all ages in this profession, it’s clear to me how many emotional experiences are universal. Many people suffer in silence fearing others will judge them or worse, not care at all. Additionally, we often weren’t given what we need in order to understand or express ourselves. Over time, our hurts pile up and can take a toll on our peace.
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, lonely, unsatisfied, or lost you are certainly not alone. Vulnerability, curiosity and humor are how I approach therapy. Whether you are a beginner or have been to therapy before, you deserve therapy focused on what matters to you most at the pace you are ready to go.
Therapies Offered
Cognitive behavioral therapy
This therapy focuses on learning about where your feelings come from, why you feel the feelings you do and what you can do about them. This kind of therapy has been proven effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety.
dialectical Behavioral therapy
This therapy focuses on helping manage emotional highs and lows. Individuals who want to be more assertive, decisive, reduce unhealthy behaviors and build self esteem find this therapy most helpful.
Motivational interviewing
This therapy focuses on helping you identify your goals and the motivation you have to achieve your goals. By breaking down how change happens step by step, you know where you are in your progress and where you are going. This kind of therapy is helpful for people with health goals and others who want to change unhealthy behaviors.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy "ART"
This evidenced based practice is revolutionary in the world of therapy. Feeling better faster and gaining resolution to life long difficulties and even healing traumas is possible with ART. ART is different from traditional “talk” therapy and often only requires 3-5 sessions.
