HELLO AND WELCOME

Is anxiety or stress impacting your life?
Are you your own worst critic?
Struggling to move forward after facing a loss or significant change?
Stalled on career or relationship choices?

You’ve probably tried to handle things the best way you know how, but you’re still feeling stuck.

Gina Della Penna, LMHC, LPC

I’M GINA

I’m glad you’re here. I know that beginning a search for a therapist can be hard. Sometimes it’s not easy to ask for help, and it can be tough to find someone you feel you can trust.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals (18 years and older) via teletherapy across New York and New Jersey. Teletherapy enables me to work with people in their own private spaces — whether they’re on Long Island, in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester, Upstate, or New Jersey. I’ve noticed that when people experience the convenience and comfort of online therapy, they often feel more relaxed in sessions to open up about themselves and the issues they’d like to improve.

I help people who face issues like anxiety and stress, self-esteem struggles, and adjustments to big life changes. I have a special interest in working with young adults — helping them navigate the stressors of emerging adulthood as they embark on career, relationships, and independence. I also enjoy working with individuals who have diverse backgrounds and identities. I strive to provide culturally-sensitive and LGBTQ+-affirming counseling.

Please look around my website and get a sense for the kind of therapist I am. If you feel that I might be a good match for your needs, call me or send me an email. We can set up a time to talk on the phone so that I can answer your questions about working together. Let’s see how I can help you turn your current difficulty into an opportunity to live life well.
