Gianna Colavin-Bridges

Gianna Colavin-Bridges

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I work with each client to understand their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a space where you can be open and honest without judgment, while working together to better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change.

Before becoming a social worker, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. My background in dance has shaped the way I think about the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and overall well-being. I value the role that creativity, self-expression, and awareness can play in healing and personal growth. I also believe that humor, honesty, and authenticity have a place in therapy, and I want you to feel comfortable being your whole self in our work together.

Amanda Ehrman

Therapist

Virtual • California


You're smart, self-aware, and honestly pretty good at explaining exactly why you're stuck. You just can't seem to get unstuck. The to-do list exists. The plan sort of exists. And yet — the avoidance, the overthinking, the decision that keeps not getting made. Sound familiar? Anxiety, perfectionism, and big life transitions have a way of quietly running the show. Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you — because nothing is. It's about understanding what's underneath, building some actual tools, and figuring out what you want. Not what everyone else thinks you should.
