Guided Healing for Meaningful, Transformative & Long-Lasting Change

Liana Gerdov

Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Certified Reiki Master

Liana Gerdov, CHT, LCPC, PSY.D.

My intention is to weave a safe and sacred therapeutic container—one rooted in meaning-making, deep listening, and reverence for your inner world. Together, we will journey to the roots of what ails you, uncovering the hidden threads beneath your patterns, wounds, and longings. Through this work, you will come to know yourself more intimately, reclaim lost wisdom, and cultivate the inner tools needed to move through life with clarity, intuitive guidance and alignment.

I walk beside you through your most tender and vulnerable moments—your dark nights of the soul, your initiations, your descent into the shadows. I serve as both witness and guide, holding the lantern as we illuminate what has been hidden, so you may move toward profound healing, integration, and transformation. This is soul work—slow, intentional, and deeply personal—inviting you into a truer relationship with yourself.

My practice is rooted in exploring origins: the roots of your thoughts, behaviors, choices, and beliefs, as well as the wider forces that shape you—family of origin, ancestral lineages, cultural conditioning, collective and intergenerational trauma. I often work through symbol, metaphor, archetype, parts work, and earth-honoring, nature-based approaches. Narrative, ritual, and creative expression become portals through which we map your inner and outer landscapes, helping you remember who you are, where you come from, and how to move forward in conscious relationship with your life’s unfolding.

Areas of Specialty

I am a Clinical Psychologist, Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Practitioner and a Reiki Master. My aim is to interweave traditional psychotherapy with integrative holistic modalities such as clinical/spiritual hypnotherapy, mindfulness meditation, life coaching, and Reiki & chakra energy healing whenever appropriate. Clinically, I enjoy working with adults struggling with anxiety, phobias, depression, complex and relational trauma, women’s issues, self-esteem, grief/loss, and life-altering transitions. I work best with those who are looking to integrate their mind, body, and soul – open to unraveling their spiritual lens and gaining expansion through subconscious wisdom.
