Giovanna Barreto

About me

My name is Giovanna, and I am an experienced psychotherapist with international training and a diverse practice. I hold a Master’s in Psychoanalysis from Mexico and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from New Brunswick, Canada. Since 2002, I have been providing private therapy, supporting individuals in overcoming a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. In recognition of my dedication to excellence in mental health care, I was honored with the 2025 Business Quality Award for Best Marriage Counselor in Chatham-Kent. This award reflects my ongoing commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care to the community. I also collaborate with lawyers and immigration consultants in Windsor to support migrants navigating complex legal processes, offering clinical evaluations that strengthen humanitarian and compassionate appeals. As a committed lifelong learner, I continue to expand my expertise through specialized training, including Human Trafficking and Violence Risk Assessment at the Trauma Center in the U.S. Additionally, my volunteer work with Chatham-Kent Police Victim Services demonstrates my deep commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals in our community. I am fluent in Spanish, which allows me to offer services to Spanish-speaking individuals and families who may feel more comfortable receiving therapy in their native language. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives. I would be honored to work with you and support you on your mental health journey. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information or to schedule an appointment.
