About Gigi Shami, LMHC
Owner of Therapy by Gigi, LLC
Hello! I’m Gigi. As a Florida native with a Middle Eastern heritage, I bring an unique cultural perspective to my practice. Having earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Rollins College, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their emotional landscapes.
My journey into the field of counseling was ignited by a transformative experience during my youth. At the age of 18, my first encounter with therapy profoundly impacted me, unveiling the power of empathy, challenge, and advocacy. It was this realization that set me on the path to becoming a therapist.
Guiding individuals and couple’s through their life journeys, witnessing their triumphs and tribulations, is an immense privilege that I hold dear. Witnessing those “aha!” moments unfold, and observing the profound transformations that follow, fills me with gratitude.
My main goal as a therapist is to empower each client by working collaboratively to understand your past and rewrite your narrative to create new patterns of behavior that are in line with your authentic self. Together, we will find the formula to heal your inner critic. Working with individuals and couples, I take on an integrative approach to therapy which incorporates a multicultural outlook along with a variety of evidenced-based practices. I specialize in issues such as trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues. You deserve to learn about yourself and grow to the person you are meant to be.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples that are ready to understand how their trauma shows up in their daily life. I utilize interventions that incorporate understanding your inner critic and how to have a healthier relationship with yourself. Additionally, I help clients understand how their attachment style manifests in relationships.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I find solace in taking long walks with my beloved companion, Lola (she’s a schnauzer!) and discovering new culinary experiences at local eateries. Above all, I cherish the moments spent with my family and friends, as they provide me unwavering support and inspiration.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to embark on this transformative journey with you.
