Gia Macaluso, M.S.

Gia uses a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to the individual needs of clients. Common modalities include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) effective with emotional regulation issues, combining CBT and mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encouraging clients to accept thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them while taking action and committing to personal values.

Building a strong therapeutic alliance is crucial to Gia’s foundational beliefs. She works collaboratively with clients to create an environment of trust and safety, which facilitates open communication and self-exploration.

Gia encourages those who have thought about therapy to do so, it can afford opportunities to live a more wholesome peaceful life and improve overall health and cognition.
