Reianna Garner (She/her)

I work with individuals who experience intense emotions, relationship struggles, and patterns that can feel difficult to change. Using DBT-informed skills and a trauma-informed approach, I help clients understand their emotional patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build more stable, fulfilling relationships. My focus is on compassion, skill-building, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe showing up as their full selves without needing to filter or explain who they are. Therapy can support navigating relationships, self-acceptance, life transitions, and the unique stressors that often come with living in a world that is not always affirming.

I work with adults navigating the lasting effects of trauma and complex trauma. Many clients experience emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My trauma-informed approach helps clients understand how their nervous system and coping patterns developed while building practical skills to regulate emotions, increase safety, and reclaim stability in their lives.

My work with attachment theory is informed by training focused on personality disorders and relational trauma. This approach helps us understand how early relationships shape how we connect with others and ourselves. In therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion so clients can build greater emotional security, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self.

I have completed somatic training focused on how trauma impacts the nervous system, drawing from the work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine. Trauma often lives not only in our thoughts but also in our bodies. I help clients recognize and work with body-based signals so they can regulate overwhelming emotions and develop a stronger sense of grounding and safety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the primary framework guiding my work. I am DBT certified and trained under Dr. Lane Pederson, with extensive experience helping clients who experience intense emotions, relationship challenges, and emotional dysregulation. I help clients build practical skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness so they can navigate life with greater stability and confidence.
