Welcome! If you are carrying something heavy, I am glad you found your way here. My name is Gianna DeSantis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and grief, and I work with children, teens, and adults across New Jersey and Pennsylvania via telehealth. My goal is to give you a space where you feel genuinely in control of your healing with a therapist who listens before anything else.
I try to cultivate a safe space where you feel in control and feel that you are able to confidently respond to your experiences and build skills around processing. In my therapy, I use Trauma Focused CBT and EMDR and also focus on the connections and relationships in your life to help you achieve your goals.
Our first session is yours to lead. I will ask some open questions about what brought you here, what matters most to you, and what you hope our work together will look like. There is no pressure to share everything at once: you set the pace. By the end, most people leave feeling a little less alone with what they are carrying, and more hopeful about what comes next.
