Kim Giancaspro LCSW

My clients are adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood difficulties, and/or a history of trauma. Others are in the midst of a life transition of some sort and have chosen to engage in therapy as a tool to assist them in learning new coping strategies. Research has confirmed that talk therapy - sometimes referred to as psychotherapy - is often very helpful for folks who are dealing with mood and/or relationship difficulties. In some cases (but not always), people will benefit from medication as well. If medication is part of your solution, I am a strong advocate for open communication between your prescriber and your therapist. Establishing a strong therapeutic rapport is paramount to achieving your goals. I work hard to understand the unique stories of each of my clients, and we work together as you learn and practice new coping techniques. Most often, therapy will conclude within a reasonable time frame (once you have met your therapeutic goals). My treatment style is eclectic, and includes a strengths-based, supportive, short-term if possible, solution focused approach. I incorporate some cognitive behavioral strategies and I tend to assign homework to most of my clients.
