Gina Botshtein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Therapy isn't one size fits all.
It's a journey we design together.
With a rare blend of clinical expertise, leadership insight, and genuine warmth, I create personalized therapy experiences that honor your unique story.
Personalized Care
Therapy tailored to your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances.
Holistic Approach
Addressing mind, emotions, relationships, and personal growth together.

Three decades of helping individuals, couples, and teams thrive.
Your Healing Journey
Therapy isn't a straight line—it's a journey of growth. Here's what to expect as we work together toward lasting change.
Exploration
🌱Planting the Seed
We begin by creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your story. This is about understanding where you are, what brought you here, and what you hope to achieve.
What We'll Focus On:
- Initial assessment and goal-setting
- Building trust and rapport
- Identifying patterns and triggers
- Establishing therapeutic alliance
Milestone: You'll leave feeling heard and understood, with clarity on your therapeutic path.
Connection
🌿Taking Root
As trust deepens, we dive into the heart of your challenges. You'll gain insight into how past experiences shape present behaviors and learn tools to manage difficult emotions.
What We'll Focus On:
- Exploring underlying causes
- Developing coping strategies
- Challenging limiting beliefs
- Processing difficult emotions safely
Milestone: You'll notice shifts in how you respond to stress and relate to yourself.
Growth
🌳Reaching Upward
This is where real change happens. You're actively practicing new skills, testing boundaries, and building the life you want. Progress may feel nonlinear—that's normal and part of the process.
What We'll Focus On:
- Implementing new behaviors
- Building resilience and confidence
- Strengthening relationships
- Expanding comfort zones gradually
Milestone: You'll see tangible improvements in daily life and relationships.
Transformation
🍃Bearing Fruit
You've become your own therapist. The insights, tools, and self-awareness you've gained are now part of who you are. Therapy transitions from necessity to maintenance, and eventually, completion.
What We'll Focus On:
- Consolidating gains and insights
- Planning for future challenges
- Celebrating growth and change
- Preparing for life after therapy
Milestone: You'll feel equipped to navigate life's challenges with confidence and wisdom.
