Giovana Lippi

I am a licensed mental health counselor with expertise in holistic therapy and integrative mental health practices. I hold a master’s degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology and certifications in trauma-informed care and integrative medicine. My approach emphasizes the mind-body-spirit connection for overall well-being. My holistic approach to goal setting involves individualized assessments that take into account your emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. I encourage self-discovery and empowerment by helping you set meaningful goals that align with your core values. I incorporate mindfulness practices and visualization techniques to deepen your connection to these goals. I promote resilience and flexibility, allowing you to adapt your goals as you grow, while providing holistic resources and tools for support. Regular check-ins foster accountability and reflection, enabling you to celebrate your progress and learn from challenges on your journey toward personal growth. During a first session, I create a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel safe to express yourself. We typically begin with a thorough intake assessment to understand your background, emotional needs, and any specific challenges you're facing. I encourage a dialogue that promotes self-reflection and exploration of your goals, values, and desires for personal growth. Additionally, I may introduce holistic practices tailored to your needs, focusing on building trust and rapport as the foundation for our collaborative therapeutic relationship centered on healing and empowerment. As a native Portuguese speaker, I provide culturally sensitive support to Portuguese-speaking immigrants, combining my language proficiency with a deep understanding of cultural backgrounds. I am passionate about transpersonal and existential therapy and am dedicated to helping clients live authentic, meaningful lives. You can visit my website at selflovecure.org. My communication style is non-judgmental and warm, creating a safe space for open dialogue. I aim to be direct, ensuring clarity in our conversations, but I also like to incorporate humor to lighten the mood and make our sessions more relatable. I believe that a friendly approach fosters trust and helps clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.
