Gina Minutillo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gina!

I'm passionate about supporting clients to lead a life they love. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and understood.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating grief, anxiety, stress, crisis, difficult family dynamics, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, substance use, and relationship difficulty.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and nonjudgmental, allowing you to be collaborative in therapy to meet your individual needs. I offer a warm and relaxed style, using evidence-based models like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you gain insight and skills to grow and live your best life.

My communication style

I'm warm and nurturing, and I can also be straightforward when it's constructive and helpful. I enjoy creating a collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable exploring your concerns and working toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've spent most of my career in community mental health, supporting youth and families in various settings. My passion for this work comes from witnessing the growth and resilience of the families I serve.

My goals for you

I'm passionate about helping children, adolescents, and their families live functional and fulfilling lives. My focus is on building skills and insight that support lasting change and well-being.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know one another, build rapport, and discuss how things have been for you. We'll talk about your goals and how we can work together to support them.
