Gia Stark
Marriage & Family Therapist -
Thank you for reading. Having a background in grassroots and non-profit work, as well as teaching, I am fiercely passionate about equity, social justice and liberation for all people. The therapeutic relationship is unique and radical – your words have exquisite power and we get to think together about what they mean.Talk therapy offers us the chance to engage in an exploration of who you are, what has happened to you, and how you want your life to look. Regarding relationships and patterns, we will grapple with what to hold on to and what to discard, and breathe possibility back into your way of being.I believe that what ails you points to how you have embodied the collective suffering of society. Perhaps you carry the psychic wounds of colonization and globalization. Or maybe it is challenging for you to find where you belong in the frenetic pace of our time. Whatever brings you here, I hope to have the opportunity to sit and listen to you.
