Professional statement

Joanna (Jo) Krasnisky is a Holistic Psychotherapist in San Diego, CA. They work with children and families ages 0-10, & adults ages 18-26. Many of Jo's clients come in when they have realized they are stuck, afraid, depressed, anxious, lost, or repeating the same relationship or communication patterns. Jo is particularly passionate about serving the LGBTQ community and trauma survivors, including acute, chronic, developmental, complex, generational, and historical trauma. They also have advanced training in the area of traumatic growth, mindfulness, and infant mental health.

Jo is trained in an eclectic blend of therapies, including trauma-conscious yoga, mindfulness meditation, Reiki, inner child work, heart math, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which all contribute to mind + body + spirit healing. In session, Jo focuses on the somatic experience in the present moment, guiding clients to connect with their authentic selves and release what is no longer serving them in achieving their goals. This approach supports clients to connect with their internal experience, gain confidence in their ability to express and regulate emotions, set boundaries, increase self-awareness, be in reciprocal loving relationships, and live authentically from their soul.

Jo's style is warm and compassionate, while also motivating and accountable.( She may give homeplay/homepractice) . When a client first comes in, Jo makes sure you feel heard, understood, and human. Jo is dedicated to providing a relationship that is authentic, warm, and motivating.

Jo received their degrees in Psychology and Masters in Clinical Social Work at Fordham University and the University of Michigan. They gained experience with a wide range of communities & cultures, which allow them to see with cultural humility. Jo loves to be in nature.
