Giannina Reyes, LPC

As the founder and CEO of New Beginnings Counseling Services, Giannina has worked in the mental health field for over 14 years. Her journey is one of resilience and determination. At the age of 16, she immigrated to the United States in 2005 after losing her father to cancer. Despite facing challenges, she remained committed to her education and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Alvernia University with a bachelor’s degree in 2011. That same year, she started her career as a therapist at just 24 years old, only months after graduating and getting married.

Determined to continue growing professionally, she pursued a master's degree and, in 2016, earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Messiah College. Giannina’s career in mental health began in 2009 at Familicare Counseling Services, where she worked as a Therapeutic Support Staff and later as an outpatient mental health counselor. As an immigrant, she deeply understands the challenges of adapting to a new culture and navigating personal hardships, which allows her to connect with and support a diverse population. Over the years, she obtained specialized training in trauma-informed practices, equipping her to work effectively with individuals healing from trauma. 

In 2020, Giannina took a leap of faith and opened New Beginnings Counseling Services, a private practice dedicated to helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. While she specializes in trauma therapy, her practice has grown to include a team of highly skilled counselors who share her core values of compassion, inclusivity, and holistic healing.
