Aly Giermann, LCSW
I believe therapy is a powerful tool for change and personal empowerment.
It can be difficult to make the decision to seek support, but I believe starting therapy is a courageous act of self-compassion. I am here to tell you it’s worth it. Therapy is a great place to explore past experiences and current issues with no pressure or judgment. My clients often come to therapy with questions about who they are, how they can feel good about themselves, and battling fears about going after the life they really want. I aim to provide a warm, genuine, and collaborative approach when working with them. Furthermore, I strive to create a connection that allows clients to be themselves and feel safe to work through whatever obstacles are in their path. Utilizing a strengths-based approach, I work with clients to build confidence and skills to navigate life stressors and to create a life they can’t wait to wake up to.
My Practice
I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addictions, grief and loss, and working with clients on issues related to self-esteem, relationships, personal growth, life transitions, and goal-setting. I also specialize in working with clients looking for an LGBTQ affirming therapist. Utilizing a holistic approach, I incorporate treatments such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and addressing the mind-body connection.
I work with clients ages older adolescent through adulthood, and work exclusively using TeleHealth (phone/video sessions). This can be invaluable for clients navigating busy work or school schedules, commute times, travel, parenting demands, or health concerns.
My Background
My educational background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Arizona, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Vanguard University. I have experience working with people of all backgrounds, including at a domestic violence shelter, substance abuse treatment center, community hospital, and in palliative and hospice care.
A fun fact about me is that I love hiking and camping. If I am not working, you can generally find me out on a trail with family, friends, and my two dogs.
