Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Liana Gerdov, CHT, LCPC, PSY.D.
Liana aims to create a safe and sacred therapeutic alliance oriented on meaning making and insight building. She aims to guide you to the roots of your issues, assist you in gaining a better understanding of self, provide you with appropriate coping skills, and foster insights that will help you make appropriate decisions and actions in your life. She will walk with you during your challenges, your dark nights, your initiations, your shadow work… and shine the light to illuminate your path, leading to a deeper intimacy of the individual self, profound healing and transformation.
She is passionate about exploring roots (of thoughts, actions, behaviors, choices) as they pertain to our lives as well as the greater external lens (family of origin, ancestors, culture, collective trauma and beyond). Liana often includes the therapeutic use of metaphors, archetypes, parts work, narrative and creative expression arts in helping clients navigate their internal and external landscape.
