Christian Giovanniello Testimonials
What His Clients Are Saying
Christian Giovanniello, (Mental Health Counseling Intern)
Chris has been kind, supportive, and patient with me as a person. Whenever I mention something I want to work on, Chris takes the time to think of a game plan for how we can complete my personal goals. Chris takes the time to get to know me and allows me to talk for as long as I need to before we start unpacking thoughts and feelings into something constructive. All of these things happen every instance that I bring it up, and Chris is able to not only affirm my feelings but also assist me in bettering myself.
Chris has helped improve my relationship with my partner, as he has not only suggested a couples session, but once it was conducted, Chris was able to implement skills that my partner and I use to this day. My relationship has been so much better, in regards to communication, after our session with Chris and my partner’s therapist.

I definitely had a good experience with Chris. I started off pretty skeptical that therapy would work but it surprised me how much better I felt once I had Chris to talk to, and having him help me figure out how to better process what I was feeling and my thoughts.
