Gina Lihou

As a trauma-informed, EMDR-trained psychotherapist, I support individuals who are navigating the complex terrain of healing, identity, and growth. I offer a warm, grounded presence and a nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those shaped by pain, overwhelm, or past wounds. My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I don’t treat you as a diagnosis, but as a whole person with a rich inner world, shaped by experiences of race, gender, culture, sexuality, and more. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back—whether it’s trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, or emotional dysregulation—and work to create lasting, meaningful change rooted in your values. I integrate EMDR, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques to help you process stuck emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of inner safety. Clients often tell me they feel seen, gently challenged, and empowered in our work together. My calm, empathic style helps create a sense of ease and trust, especially for those who’ve felt misunderstood or overwhelmed in other settings. I specialize in working with adults navigating complex trauma, life transitions, people-pleasing patterns, and burnout. I also provide affirming care for racialized, LGBTQ2S+, and highly sensitive individuals seeking a therapist who truly “gets it.” You are the expert of your own experience—and therapy is not about fixing you, but reconnecting with your strength, wisdom, and capacity to heal. Whether you’re just starting out or returning to therapy after time away, I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery.
