INNY

Hi,

My name is Ginny.  I am 53 years old, but feel 33.  I live, work and play in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida where I’ve been since relocating from Long Island, NY almost six years ago.  I currently share my home with my husband, Alan, my stepson, our three dogs and two parrots.  Our home is never quiet, but it is filled with fun and love! 

It’s hard to believe, but less than five years ago, I was totally computer illiterate.  The Internet has become so important in my life.  First I met my husband through the Internet, and later during that same year, I met my PSN sistahs! 

I have been a therapist for over 21 years and have never, for a moment, regretted this career decision.  In New York, I was the Executive Director of non-profit, community-based counseling agency, which I was hired, to start in 1980.  We did a lot of work with substance abusers and their families, as well as issues related to substance abuse.  It was at Reflection (the name of my agency) that I developed my interest and experience in trauma based disorders, depression and anxiety and life transitions. 

Currently, I have a private practice here in Fort Lauderdale where I specialize in the areas mentioned above.  I also do pre and post adoption counseling as well as adoption home studies.  I am eclectic in my approach and was recently certified as an EMDR therapist. EMDR is a very effective technique which works with a wide variety of problems.  If you have any interest in or questions about EMDR, I invite you to go to their website which we have listed here on the PSN site under my favorites.  I have also recently become involved with e-therapy as well as telephone therapy.  This enables me to help clients who, for a myriad of reasons, might never make it to a therapist’s office.  You can also find the e-therapy site under my favorites. 

And, last but not least, due to my positive Internet dating experience, I am planning on leading a series of workshops on this topic after the first of the year. 

So, drop me a line if you’re so inclined!
