About Gigi Gardner

My name is Gigi Gardner, and I am an empathetic, enthusiastic therapist who has a you centered approach. This is precious time you are investing in yourself, and my top priority will be showing you the dignity and gentle care you deserve while meeting your specified goals. My focus is to truly meet you where you are on your healing journey through active collaboration. Rather than seeing you as a diagnosis, together we can discuss your specific reactions to trauma/life experiences and how to meet these normal responses with kindness and understanding. 

As a clinician my passion is to facilitate alleviating suffering through various evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I see humans as interwoven and connected beings, putting value on unification when healthy and possible. As a yoga teacher I view, mindfulness, body movement, and meditation as foundational to our peace of mind and have experience in the application of such practices.
