Renee Giordano

Renee Giordano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New York. Renee specializes in working with those who have past experiences with trauma. Many of Renee’s clients experienced complex childhood trauma, which includes childhood emotional neglect. Because of these experiences, they fall into people pleasing patterns that leave them feeling emotionally exhausted. They find it challenging to identify their own emotions, yet face feelings of anxiety, chronic self-doubt and lack of confidence. Renee also works with those who have been diagnosed with ADHD or those who suspect they could be.

Renee practices from a trauma-based and relational lens. Some modalities she works with include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapy modalities, parts work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer clients a holistic approach to healing. Clients learn how to manage their emotional reactions and how to look internally at their feelings. Her goal is to help all clients connect on a deeper level with themselves and to grow their self-awareness so they can unlearn unhealthy patterns. Clients who work with Renee learn how to feel confident in themselves and how to embrace feelings of joy in their lives.

Renee earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. She has nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples, and has taught graduate-level students. She has a straightforward, yet warm style when supporting clients and strives to give them the skills they need to heal trauma and expand their capacity for happiness and growth.
