Report
After my horrific car accident, I needed a specialist to help me deal with trauma and driving anxiety. Dr. Giordano is an excellent therapist. He was very understanding, thoughtful and relatable. Dr. Giordano is compassionate and easy to talk to. He listened to my concerns and gave me practical exercises and tools to help with my trauma and anxiety. He also shared words of wisdom from a Christian standpoint that were extremely helpful to me and my family. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Louis Giordano to help navigate through life challenges. Thank you Dr. Louis!

I've had 4 sessions so far with Dr. Giordano, working through trauma and other issues. By far he is the best therapist I've ever had. He is very compassionate and insightful when tackling things that can be very complex. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Dr. Giordano and I'd highly recommend him!

Report
Suggested just installing a sleep app for someone looking for medication management for clinical depression and anxiety. Then sent a $55 invoice for a 'late cancellation' when no follow up appointment was consented to. I'd strongly advise avoiding this office.

I spent time with Dr. G years ago as part of a deep overhaul of a broken part of my life. It was tremendous. Recently we reconnected to target another area I wanted to change in, and again he was an invaluable partner. There is power in investing the time and money to work with someone who isnt you, who isnt your friend, your Mom, your spouse, etcbut rather a professional who is absolutely in your corner, believes you can change for the better, and is an expert in helping you do so.
