Gail Giunta

Hi! I’m Gail Marina, a Trauma Therapist in NY & CT.

If you're frustrated because traditional talk therapy has only taken you so far, my sessions are for you. I skip the endless venting and passive head-nodding. Instead, I offer a direct, warm, and highly interactive relationship designed to help you actively move forward.

If you find yourself understanding why you feel a certain way but your body still holds onto the stress, you are experiencing the plateau of talk-only methods. True healing bridges the mind and the body.

EMDR-Somatic Based Trauma-Informed Therapy

​

• Trauma-Informed Guided Questions: Gently dive deeper to target and dismantle core negative beliefs.
• Direct & Compassionate Feedback: Dynamic, real-time insights that respect your journey while keeping you moving forward.
• Somatic & Body-Based Integration: Address how trauma is physically stored below language, breaking the body's defensive bracing.
• The Goal: Emerge from past trauma with a profound sense of relief, walking into your life with confidence and renewed empowerment.​

Your First Session: What to Expect

Our initial session is a collaborative, low-pressure space focused on connection, clarity, and safety. Here is what we will cover:

• Your Story & Goals: We will discuss what brings you to therapy and what healing or growth looks like for you.
• Weaving Your Framework: We will explore how to uniquely blend traditional therapies (CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Attachment Work) with holistic practices (Somatic, Creative Arts, or Nature-Based).
• Setting the Pace: We prioritize your comfort. You only share what you feel ready to share as we build a foundation of trust.
• Next Steps: We will map out a flexible, personalized roadmap for your upcoming sessions.

By the end of this hour, you will have a clear sense of how we will work together to ground your nervous system and support your deepest healing.
