Gia Reyes

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also an immigrant and mother with first-hand knowledge of how overwhelming and uncomfortable life transitions can be. Hence I provide a safe and nurturing space to process issues and life-changes, with the end-goal of achieving equilibrium in the pursuit of joy, happiness and contentment. My life experiences in decades-long work with multinationals, living in different countries, and raising my children in different cultures have broadened and elevated my compassion and empathy for the uniqueness of each individual's suffering and pain.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, to help you process emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and build resilience. Whether it is a teen struggling with anxiety and depression, a mid-life crisis, career retirement, or empty-nesting, we can find your life purpose at any age. I have a unique competency for immigration-specific issues like acculturation and more. My specializations are cultural and generational conflicts, life transitions/ existential crises and grief.

My first session is a casual, non-threatening conversation where you share as much, or as little, as feels comfortable. I tailor sessions to your pace, timeline, and current ability to process issues. I always meet you where you are, creating a space that feels comfortable and responsive to your needs.
