With a unique combination of humor, empathy, and evidence-based techniques, Gina brings warmth and professionalism to every session.

Before becoming a counselor, Gina was a teacher, specializing in cosmetology. Her teaching background helps her connect with clients in a way that fosters growth and learning. However, her own struggles with ADHD—something she was diagnosed with later in life—have given her a deeper understanding of the challenges many people face in school and beyond. Additionally, Gina has faced her own battles with weight and body image, which has only deepened her compassion for those dealing with similar issues. She uses these personal experiences to help clients who struggle with self-esteem and body confidence feel supported and understood.

Gina's therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), methods known for their effectiveness in treating a variety of mental health concerns. She has received specialized training in treating Anxiety, ADHD, Trauma, and Grief, offering her clients a safe space to work through their unique issues. Gina’s compassionate, client-centered approach ensures that people feel heard, respected, and understood.

Her passion for inclusivity shines through in her work with the LGBTQ+ community. Gina is dedicated to providing a supportive environment where individuals from all walks of life can feel comfortable being their authentic selves.

When she’s not counseling, Gina’s love for animals reflects the compassion she brings to her work. Whether it's connecting with her clients or caring for animals, Gina finds joy in helping others heal and grow. Her approach is both professional and personal, driven by her belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood.

With her signature blend of humor and care, Gina makes therapy a positive, enriching experience. If you’re looking for a counselor who truly listens and offers guidance tailored to your needs, Gina Strong is here to help.
