About Gina
Gina Grammatico, LMFT (MFT 157878), is committed to helping clients achieve sustainable, practical life transformation. Her practice is rooted in collaboration and care — working closely with clients to develop a deep understanding of both their current challenges and their desired outcomes for healing. Gina serves as an insightful guide, highlighting each client’s inherent strengths and empowering them to navigate obstacles with determination and resilience.
She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and Applied Psychology from Holy Names University and a Bachelor of Arts with a dual major in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Michigan. Gina is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings a culturally sensitive, systems-oriented lens to therapy — viewing each client as part of a larger relational and cultural context rather than an isolated set of symptoms.
Before joining Bay Area CBT Center, Gina worked as a primary therapist in dual-diagnosis and substance-use treatment settings, including Bayside Marin Treatment Center and Our Common Ground, and as a school-based therapist serving elementary-aged children in Oakland. She is also a Certified Forest Bathing Guide with the Forest Therapy Hub, integrating nature-based practices into wellness and healing when appropriate. She works with clients across the lifespan — from children to older adults — and supports concerns including addiction, complex PTSD, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and dysfunctional relationship patterns.
In Her Own Words
A Personal Note from Gina
My Approach to Therapy
In our work together, I take an integrative approach to therapy grounded in trauma-informed care and a culturally sensitive lens that views you as part of a larger system. I combine evidence-based tools with foundational theory to support deep, systemic change rather than surface-level symptom relief.
I primarily utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you build tangible, practical tools for immediate relief and effective symptom management. At the same time, I help you explore how early childhood experiences and attachment patterns may be showing up in your adult life. By addressing maladaptive patterns at their core, I support deeper, more lasting behavioral change and meaningful healing.
Because lasting transformation requires interconnection, I integrate somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support the alignment of your mind, body, and spirit. I have also trained as a Forest Bathing Guide — and I believe connection to nature can be a powerful complement to clinical work for clients who feel called to heal outdoors as well as in the therapy room.
I work with clients across the lifespan — from elementary-aged children to older adults — and support a wide range of concerns, including addiction, dysfunctional relationships, complex PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. No matter the complexity or severity of what you’re facing, I approach our work in a nonjudgmental way, offering a therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, empathy, and the assurance that you will be genuinely seen and heard.
