Joe Girillo LMFT

My name is Joe Girillo. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I operate my private practice in Pasadena, where I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. I earned my Master’s degree in 2009 in Marital & Family Therapy at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, CA with a heavy emphasis on diversity and anti-bias sensitivity. I have been involved in the Los Angeles County mental health field since 1999, in acute psychiatric environments since 2004, first at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena and since 2014 at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. This work has included treating patients with a broad spectrum of mental illnesses, from mood disorders to psychosis, active suicidality to chemical dependency and other addictive behaviors just to name a few. Among other modalities, I use dream journaling as a therapeutic tool to understand the interplay between the psychological and spiritual lives of my clients.
