Welcome
Jeffrey Gianelli, LCSW Serving Oakland, CA, The Bay Area, California, and North Carolina
I call my therapy practice Onward Leading because it is about helping you move forward. My inspiration comes from my own journey where I discovered that there are many different ways get unstuck and to develop inner peace. The work I do integrates techniques from many different traditions. Through these, you will encounter unconscious drives, motivations, emotions, and narratives that shape your behavior and decision making. By opening to these parts of yourself and healing from past traumas and difficulties, there can be a deep release that creates a new foundation for living.
More about my approach
I will go beneath the surface to help you explore and examine out the root causes of your struggles, then work with you to develop a way to navigate through.
Some of the approaches I use include EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, DBT, CBT, and Mindful Self Compassion. I specialize in the following areas:
- Trauma-informed care
- Mental health such as PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression and OCD
- Relationships / Couples
- Psychedelic Assisted Therapy including Ketamine Assisted Therapy(KAP)
- Promoting a healthier sense of self worth
- LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
- Transpersonal therapy promoting spiritual transformation and growth
Another area of specialty is psychotherapy informed by Buddhism and Tibetan Healing methods. I’ve been training in Buddhism for the past 12 years and completed a teacher training/ ordination program in 2016. I am also a trained teacher of the Mindful Self Compassion program.
