Jana Piazza, AMFT

Psychotherapist

(She/Her)

I bring a gentle, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming presence to my work in supporting couples, families, and individuals on their journey toward emotional well-being and fulfilling relationships. Growing up in a coastal town, my life has always been deeply connected to nature and the rhythms of the tides. As an ocean swimmer and rower, I learned early on how to respect and navigate powerful, shifting currents through patience, observation, and deep attunement to the body—lessons that directly inform my clinical work today.

This somatic awareness, paired with a long held appreciation for poetry and creativity, naturally drew me to depth psychology. I find that the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when we explore beneath the surface of immediate conflicts to explore the hidden patterns, histories, and creative undercurrents that shape how we relate to ourselves and others.

Alongside this depth-oriented, somatic foundation, I draw on focused methods I've trained in, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), when they can help. Whether I'm helping couples navigate intimacy, supporting families in shifting generational patterns, or accompanying individuals through trauma, the aim is the same: to create a safe, compassionate space where you can notice how stress lives in the body, find steadier ground, and build the kind of connections you're looking for.
