Skylar Giarusso, LMHC-D

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Skylar Giarusso is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes real change happens slowly, in the quiet, steady work of showing up for yourself week after week. She sees therapy as a relationship, one built on trust, honesty, and the willingness to look at the parts of life that feel hardest to face. Her style is warm and down to earth, the kind of presence that makes it easier to say the things you've been holding onto.Skylar offers a range of individualized services, including individual therapy, couples counseling, and group work, and she tailors her approach to fit the person or partnership in front of her. Whether you're navigating something on your own or working through it alongside a partner, she creates a space where you can feel heard, understood, and gently challenged to grow.

Her work supports clients moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, LGBTQ+ identity, substance use, burnout, health concerns, and the bigger questions about meaning and purpose that so many of us carry quietly. She draws from CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, family systems, trauma-focused work, and inner child healing, but she's far more interested in meeting you where you are than in following a formula.

One thing Skylar gently asks of her clients is patience. Therapy isn't a quick fix, and the most meaningful breakthroughs tend to come a few months in, not a few sessions in. She recommends meeting weekly, especially at the start, so the work has room to take root.If you're looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and a real commitment to the long game, Skylar would love to hear from you.
