Giancarlo Scalise, AMFT
Before becoming a therapist, I spent 23 years helping people heal their bodies as a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). I know what it’s like to carry shame, to be bullied, and to push through pain until something gives. Now I help teens, young adults, and men/women of all ages learn that you can be both strong and sensitive, both steady and still healing. In our sessions, you’ll find humor, warmth, and a pace that helps you breathe again.
