Empowering You to Find Your True Self and Live Your Best Life
The Spark Has Always Been In YOU!
HOLISTIC WELLNESS AND HEALTH 360
What if your concerns are not just emotional? Are you feeling burnout, imbalance, or a general sense of discontent in life? Are you struggling with hormonal shifts, or odd physical manifestations of stress? What if it's not "all in your head"?! Do you want to feel better in ALL aspects of your life? Are you overwhelmed by juggling too much? Wouldn’t it be great if your therapist was also your life coach? --- Dr. Giardina will ask about and examine multiple aspects of your life, beyond just the mental. It is all connected, and the treatment approach utilized here considers the interaction and context of multiple factors. This whole person analysis allows for faster results and more sustained change. His work and training in medical facilities and interest in alternative and behavioral medicine give the doctor a unique insight into more than just the psychological component. When Dr. Giardina does not have the answers, he will connect you with professionals who do.
WOMEN'S BALANCE AND WELL-BEING
Do you feel misunderstood by the men in your life? Does life feel like it’s shifting too fast and you’re just hurrying to catch up? Are you feeling like you’re not yourself, or you don’t know who she is anymore? Are you tired of being “strong” all the time? Would you like advice that differs from what your girlfriends tell you at brunch or school drop-off? — Dr. Giardina is one of the few male psychologists in South Florida who focuses on women's issues. The doctor encourages women to find and use their natural strengths and empowers them to be true to their authentic selves. As a male clinician in the room, Dr. Giardina is able to hold space in a way that many women have not experienced in their personal lives, and thus, aid them in better advocating for their needs in other settings. This gender dynamic also allows for societal, gender bias issues to be played out and explored in a therapeutic setting, with the doctor championing his patients to pursue shifts in these outdated roles.
RELATIONSHIPS AND COUPLES
Are you and your partner on different pages lately? The spark feels gone and now you’re just roommates, running a “business” together? Do you keep having the same fight? Or maybe you're (newly) single and trying to find your forever person? Are you are dealing with the fallout of a toxic relationship? Is it time to reclaim your spark after a divorce or breakup? — Dr. Giardina finds most issues come down to relationships, even if that is not the reason someone sought out therapy in the first place. As such, relationship issues can be discussed in either individual or couples counseling. Communication patterns are examined and clarity is gained. His ability to "speak" the male and female language allow Dr. Giardina to cross-translate for all parties and aid patients in understanding their partners better. Love languages are explored and repeated patterns are dissolved. (*The doctor works with LGBTQ partnerships as well.)
