Couples therapists in Forney, TX

Helping you stop taking rejection personally and feel more secure in who you are. Uncover the wound, recover yourself.

You didn’t just feel rejected, you started questioning yourself. Over time, that can show up as overthinking, avoiding what feels overwhelming, or struggling to feel confident in who you are and how you show up in your relationships and everyday life. It's time to reclaim your voice and identity after experiencing rejection or unhealthy relationship dynamics.

I earned my Master's in Counseling and have 4 years of experience supporting teenagers, men, and women navigating challenges like rejection, avoidance, trauma, and identity struggles (not to be confused with gender identity). We’ll explore the patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can better understand why you respond the way you do and begin to respond differently.

Clients often tell me they appreciate how I balance compassion with practical strategies. Together, we’ll focus on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, whether that’s feeling more confident socially, healing from old wounds, or reconnecting with your authentic identity.

Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, or attachment issues? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, self-phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, or trauma? Are you suffering from grief and loss or complex PTSD?

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and co-founder of The Pineheart Center, with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, attachment-related concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My professional background spans nonprofit, clinical, and healthcare settings, which informs a grounded, compassionate, and relational approach to therapy.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and am also a Licensed Child Placing Agency Administrator. In addition to traditional clinical training, I am a Certified Narrative Enneagram Practitioner, and I thoughtfully integrate this framework when helpful to support self-understanding, emotional awareness, and relational insight.

I primarily work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and stress related to caregiving or high-responsibility roles. I value creating a space where clients feel seen as whole people—honoring both their struggles and their strengths.

This is your one and only life. Let's make it the best! My name is Jerry Giordano and I am a Psychotherapist committed to helping people become better versions of themselves. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Boston College and earned my Master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. When you sit across the chair from me, l meet you where you are and together we explore options and set goals.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing with a psychiatric specialty from Chamberlain University, graduating Cum Laude and earning induction into the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with a focus in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, further advancing my clinical expertise and commitment to providing high-quality mental health care. I specialize in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and substance use disorders. My approach is personalized and collaborative, combining medication management, brief supportive therapy, lifestyle strategies, and patient education to help clients achieve their mental health goals.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe counseling and psychotherapy can help people’s mental health. Spending time and effort on mental health is important to people’s self-care routine. I have over three years’ experience providing mental health counseling and psychotherapy to a variety of people. My focus area has been working with adults that have moderate to severe mental health issues.
