About

My approach to therapy is centered in the belief that our cirumstances are what shape the story of our lives and we each have a unique story to tell. I aim to help my clients tell their unique story to gain insight and develop greater self-awareness and healing that leads to a helathier and a greater sense of well-being.

As a therapist, I can assist you in learning about your triggers, vulnerabilities, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I will work with you to explore your past and present and how past experiences are holding you back and impacting your current behaviors and relationships. I can work with you to have a better understanding and relationship with your feelings, minimize suffering and learn how to response to life’s challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in depression, anxiety, relationship distress, life transitions, grief, trauma and loss. I have experience working in residential facility, inpatient and outpatient settings, providing individual, group and family therapy. I use an integrated approach to therapy through a variety of modalities, including: Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, person-centered, Trauma focused, solution focused and Internal Family system.

Currently accepting Cigna insurance and out of network. If you are out of network, will provide you with necessary paper work to submit to your insurance company.

I enjoy and look forward to seeing my clients feel hope, heal from emotional pain and suffering and start to believe in themselves. It's a previlage to do what I do because, my clients trust me with their most vlunerabilities, be part of their journey and its somehting I can never take for granted.

Miss G. supported our family as our childs therapist. She worked diligently with our son, always providing the perspective and tools he needs to thrive and overcome challenges -- no matter the situation, my son came away with support and wisdom. He has so many tools that he uses regularly, and that our whole family has adopted (which have helped my husband and I evolve as parents). Miss G. has helped our son grow and mature and gain confidence in so many ways! I cannot say enough good things about her practice and the support you feel during and even outside of appointments. Our family is so grateful to have worked with her.

Honestly I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Gizachew! I have learned so much from her about how best to cope with everything life is throwing at me. She uses techniques that are memorable and fairly easy to implement in my daily life. On top of her knowledge and skill set, she also just really seems to care about her patients. Even after I moved to another state, she took the time to reach out and check in. I would absolutely recommend Nu Counseling Services!

I was a patient for two years, and the counseling I received has changed my life. It has helped my interpersonal relationships and has given me tools for my own mental health that I can take with me and apply anytime, anywhere. She is kind, professional and well-skilled, and I would send any close friend or relative to receive help from her.
