A Note from Georgina
“Be transformed by changing your thoughts.”
My path to counseling comes from a deep belief in the mind’s ability to transform and the human capacity for growth. I have always been drawn to creating spaces where people feel safe enough to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Through my training and clinical work, I’ve learned that meaningful change often begins when clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and respected. Working with teens and adults has shown me how powerful it can be to slow down, build awareness, and develop practical skills that support daily life. I believe therapy doesn’t need to be overwhelming to be effective; it can be thoughtful, steady, and deeply supportive. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to walk alongside you as you discover what feels authentic and sustainable. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize patterns in thinking and behavior, alongside Mindfulness practices that support emotional awareness and grounding. I also draw from Person-Centered Therapy to honor each client’s autonomy, values, and lived experience. A Collaborative Process: I value patience and consistency, understanding that growth often happens gradually. Tailored Sessions: Treatment is tailored to each client, balancing practical tools with reflection and insight. Pacing: We always move at a pace that feels respectful and empowering to you.
