Dr. Gina Innocente, DSW

My nurse practitioner suggested I "talk to someone" after I confided to her about my chronic night terrors/nightmares. She sent me to Gina, and we have been doing trauma work for the past two years. Gina is smart and patient and intentional with the care she provides. She sometimes skirts convention, like the time she met with my best friends at a picnic table in a local park during COVID, or that she encourages me to bring my dog to sessions. Gina's doctoral dissertation speaks to the importance of maintaining a connection with her clients in and in between sessions, and she will text with little wellness checks after a rough session. I know she is invested in my wellbeing. Also, Gina has a great sense of humor and values laughter as a restorative tonic. In short, I'm sleeping more peacefully these days, communicating more honestly with my husband and friends, and feeling more grounded. Thanks, Gina.

Gina is one of the best! She is extremely nice and caring. She will do everything in her power to help you out.

Gina is outstanding. I have been seeing her regularly for almost 3 years. I have full confidence in her expertise and appreciate all she does and the guidance she offers. She listens, is insightful, and I found that since we have begun our counseling, I feel like I have more inner peace. She is understanding and we address any concerns brought up promptly-but we work together to discuss these topics, when appropriate, as some are quite painful, but she is always there offering support.

I never understood how amazingly beneficial therapy can be until I met Gina. She has helped me in many aspects of my life, from personal issues to marriage, even raising my children! I never felt like I was rushed during sessions or that she was bothered by me reaching out during a crisis. Gina is everything I needed in a therapist....she made me feel at ease, like I could tell her anything and without judgement, only guidance. She is simply the best and I can't recommend her enough!!!

I had the opportunity to work with Gina for several years while I was struggling with my eating disorder. She helped me tremendously in my recovery. She pushed me when I wanted to give up and was supportive when I needed someone to lean on. I owe my success to her trustworthiness, empathy and support. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone who is willing to do the work!

I have been under Gina’s care for a little over 2 years. She is an extremely genuine, caring therapist who makes you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave. Every time I walk out of the office, I feel so positive and 100% better. I have recommended Gina to numerous friends who are looking for comfort while improving themselves!

Her sessions can run over so be prepared to sometimes wait 15 minutes, but it is ok because she doesn't just throw you out when your time is up. She is really warm and caring and knows what she is doing.

She was my therapist years ago when I was a teenager. I got a lot out of it. She would always tell me; "You got this!" and I always think back on that whenever I needed to push myself further. She's funny and smart and the sessions helped tremendously!!

Changed my life and helped me address deep-rooted traumatic experiences.

Dr. G is the 4th therapist I've seen. I told her I wanted to do CBT therapy because it worked in the past. She told she wouldn't use it with me because I would not be returning to therapy a 4th time if it had really worked. I am so grateful I listened. I didn't know this is how therapy is supposed to be- a completely different level. I would definitely recommend Dr. G because she is seriously smart and helpful (and hilarious) - worth every penny.
