Brain Injury Specialist

Meet Gianna Gambuti, MS, CTRS, CBIS, CPST
Helping athletes break through mental blocks is my passion!

Hi I’m Gianna!

I’m a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) and Master Level Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), and I especially enjoy working with athletes, active individuals, and people who tend to feel better when they can move, do, create, or practice—not just sit and talk.

A lot of my work is about helping clients get unstuck. That might mean working through a mental block, rebuilding confidence after a setback, managing performance stress, or learning how to stay focused when frustration starts taking over. We may use visualization, mindfulness, movement, creative activities, or practical coping tools depending on what fits you best.

My background in recreational therapy, sensory-based approaches, yoga, and movement gives me plenty of ways to make our work active and engaging. The goal is to help you build strategies you can actually use when it counts—on the field, in the gym, at school, at work, or wherever life happens.
