Steve Gemignani, Psy D

Specialties

I am a therapist and coach who helps people seeking relief from psychological challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, stress, substance abuse, anger, relationship difficulties, etc.) and those seeking to gain insight and live better, fuller lives. Sometimes, people want to change troublesome life patterns. In other cases, they seek to focus on areas such as work/​career, self-​esteem, relationships, stress, grief, or concerns about aging or sexuality.

Work stress and career development/​concerns are a specialty for me. Work consumes a large portion of our time and strongly influences our self-​concept. I pursued a career in psychology after a successful business and technology career. My experience having worked in the business and technology world gives me a unique perspective into the issues faced in high stress work environments.

I also specialize in working with clients with health and wellness concerns (e.g., adjusting to a diagnosis, managing a chronic illness or chronic pain, or wanting to improve your overall health and well-​being).

History

Established in 2009.

I received my Doctor of Psychology Degree from Alliant International University in San Francisco. My clinical training included working with adults, adolescents and children from diverse cultural, social and economic backgrounds and of different sexual orientations. My clinical training experience also varied across diverse settings including: outpatient treatment clinics (one focused on mental health issues and another focused on both mental and physical/​health related issues), an acute inpatient hospital setting (St. Helena Hospital), and a long-​term hospital setting (Napa State Hospital) which accepted only 4 interns out of a pool of over 200 applicants. Prior to practicing as a psychologist, I was a successful business and technology executive who worked in the technology and media areas for approximately 20 years
