Gennarose Hinzo

You are so courageous for taking this step to explore the depths of yourself, and I feel deeply honored to be a part of your personal healing journey. You may be seeking therapeutic support to rediscover hope or deepen your understanding of how your varying identities, lived experiences, past pain points, and family system all impact daily functioning. Perhaps you are seeking guidance to strengthen your ability to foster joy while balancing life’s hardships. Whatever the reason may be for taking this intentional step, I hope to support you toward reaching your unique goals. Together we will navigate how to cope with challenging relationships, improve your ability to manage stress, bolster radical self-love, and embrace your unique story.

I am passionate about intersectionality, social justice, and equity issues affecting historically disadvantaged groups. I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults heal after exposure to trauma. Some of my clinical background focused on supporting individuals struggling with substance misuse and co-occurring disorders where I worked from a harm-reduction and strength-based approach. I have also worked alongside youth and families as they navigate varying developmental stages, the foster system, and non-traditional family dynamics. 

I view therapy as a collaborative space and believe that YOU are the expert of your own life, through incorporating a person-centered approach and emphasizing the importance of autonomy, we will unravel tangled cords. I take a non-judgmental, compassionate, and creative approach and invite others to show up authentically. Through our exploration together you will discover that I often draw from de-colonized, anti-oppressive strategies.  

In my free time, I embrace joy through trying new things, tending to my many house plants, attending concerts, listening to podcasts, and cuddling my pup, Kona Bean. I feel most empowered near a body of water and playing outside amongst nature.
