Feeling Lost, Overwhelmed,
or Stuck in Life’s Challenges?
Maybe you’ve felt it in the pit of your stomach—the anxiety that just won’t go away, no matter how much you try to rationalize it. Or perhaps your mind is constantly racing, keeping you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt or worry. You might wake up exhausted, wondering how you’ll make it through another day, or feel a heaviness that no amount of sleep or distraction can lift.
If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place. I’m Gina, and I help treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions in the greater
Los Angeles area and throughout California.
Let’s see if we’re a good fit for therapy.
You don’t have to go through this alone
Life can feel unbearably hard sometimes, especially when you’re carrying the weight of
anxiety, depression, ADHD, or major life transitions. It’s easy to feel isolated, as if no one truly
understands what you’re going through. You might be asking yourself,
Why can’t I just feel better? Why is this so hard for me when others seem to have it all together?
If any of this sounds familiar, please know this:
You don’t have to go through this alone. Life can feel better.
Therapy is a good place to start to uncover the root of your pain, and find a clear path forward so that you can
confidently navigate this new life change and come out stronger, feel calm instead of anxious, feel hopeful
and energized instead of exhausted and depressed.

What If Life Could Feel Different?
Right now, it might feel like nothing will change. When you’ve been carrying the weight of anxiety,
depression, ADHD, or stress for so long, it’s easy to believe that this is just how life will always be.
But what if, instead of feeling drained and overwhelmed, you could:
- Feel more present and engaged in your relationships
- Regain a sense of control over your emotions and reactions
- Break free from self-doubt and start trusting yourself again
- Develop practical tools to manage stress, worry, and overwhelm
- Finally experience a sense of calm and clarity
The good news?
These changes aren’t just wishful thinking—they’re possible, and they happen one step at a time.
Why Gina Petrella?
A Collaborative, Compassionate Approach to Healing
Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overwhelming.
When we work together, my goal is to create a space where you can
show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pretense—just an
opportunity to finally understand completely what’s really
going on so that we can put the pieces in place for a THRIVING LIFE.
I bring sincere compassion, a touch of humor, and over 20 years of experience to our work together. I know that healing isn’t a
one-size-fits-all process, which is why I tailor therapy to fit you—your
needs, your goals, and your unique life circumstances.
My approach blends warmth and humor with practical tools and
strategies, so our sessions feel supportive yet focused.
Whether we’re tackling the roots of your struggles, identifying unhelpful patterns, or exploring new ways of thinking and being, our work is always customized to help you move forward in a way that
feels manageable and empowering.
