STEP INTO A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE

Change doesn’t have to require more struggle or more time.

HOW I THINK

Marisa Giuliano, trauma therapist serving Chattanooga, Tennessee and Florida.

A Shift in Perspective

Sometimes seeing what you have been experiencing from a different angle can begin to change what is possible. I'd like to invite you to look through this lens with me. Not because it is the only way to view things, but because I've found it to be useful. 

How the Mind Operates

Your mind is interested in survival, not necessarily in how you feel. It’s constantly learning about your experiences, yourself, other people, and the world. Much of this happens automatically, outside of conscious awareness. And sometimes your mind continues reacting based on what it learned earlier, even when that is no longer beneficial.

Noticing vs Choosing

I don't believe you are choosing the reaction - you're noticing it. If it were simply a matter of choice, you could just as easily un-choose it. I also don’t see it as something you’re carrying that you need to be let go of. If deciding to let go was the solution, wouldn’t you have done that already? It’s a response your mind is generating. That’s what minds do. Figuring out how to make it stop isn’t your homework. That’s where I come in.

Why Logic Isn’t Always Enough

This helps explain why understanding what’s happening or learning new ways to manage a reaction doesn’t always result in change. You can know something logically and still experience thoughts, emotions, sensations, habits, or beliefs that are no longer useful and are likely draining your energy. I'm interested in shifting the response at the level where it's actually being generated- more resolution, less managing. 

What Is Possible

The focus is on updating what the mind has learned and the meaning attached to it. Sometimes the work is about a shift in the patter or response that has been running automatically. Sometimes it’s about learning or practicing new skills. At times, it’s both–and when the old pattern is no longer happening, new skills can be easier to implement. Perhaps you'll be surprised to discover what is possible when your mind gets a different message.

How we work together depends on what you are experiencing and what you’d like to accomplish.

My intention is that our time together is beneficial without needing to feel heavy. Curiosity, humor, and even a little playfulness are often part of the process.

SESSION OPTIONS & INVESTMENT

FOCUSED SESSION (UP TO 2 HOURS) - $300

Best suited for one to three related concerns-such as a specific trauma, fear of driving, guilt or shame, feeling “not good enough,” or a performance block. Related concerns often shift together, allowing us to accomplish a great deal in one meeting. When clients choose to return, it is often to address something different.

THERAPY INTENSIVE (UP TO 4 HOURS) - $850

Best suited for those who are ready to invest in change and want accelerated results without having to fit recurring appointment into an already full life. Designed to address several distinct concerns within one extended meeting. This concentrated format allows us to move from one area to the next without losing momentum. Each intensive is shaped around you, with breaks as needed, dedicated time for integration, and two complimentary 30-minute follow-up sessions to support that process as it continues.

60 MINUTE THERAPY SESSION - $175

Same service, different rhythm. For those who prefer a more traditional session length or a shorter meeting format. For children and teens, I typically recommend 60-minute sessions.
