Gabriella Giordano, LMSW
Psychotherapist
Gabriella works with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ concerns - trauma-informed, relational, and refreshingly direct, with ERP-informed care for OCD and anxiety.
"I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves."
About Gabriella
In a first session with Gabriella, you'll get to know each other, explore what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying what you'd like to work toward together - in a space that is warm, affirming, and free of judgment.
Her approach is trauma-informed, relational, client-centered, and direct: she places a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and clients describe feeling seen, respected, and met exactly where they are. For OCD and anxiety she incorporates ERP-informed interventions - exposure and response prevention, the gold-standard approach for OCD - with ongoing advanced training in ERP.
Licensed in New York and New Jersey, Gabriella offers evening availability that fits around full workdays.
