YOU'RE GOOD AT HOLDING IT TOGETHER

Hi, I’m Melissa Gizzi, LPC, NCC, founder of Holistic CBT.

I believe therapy should help you understand what’s happening, and give you a clear way to work toward changing it. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll clarify what you want to be different, identify patterns that may be contributing to what isn’t working as well as you want it to, and define what meaningful progress would look like in your everyday life. Along the way, we’ll pay attention to what’s actually changing and what may need a different approach.

During our sessions, I’ll help you understand what’s driving what you'r experiencing, recognize patterns that may be keeping it going, and distinguish between what you can change and what may require a different way of responding. I’ll offer observations and perspective, help you test assumptions that may no longer be serving you, and work with you to identify practical changes you can apply outside of therapy.

You already know how to push through, perform under pressure, and figure things out. Therapy gives you the opportunity to understand what effort alone hasn’t been able to change.
