About
Ryanne Giorgione
LPC, M.Ed
she/her
From a young age, I have been fascinated by the human experience. I often found myself wondering what makes us us and paid close attention to people’s relationships with themselves, one another, and their environments. This curiosity stayed with me and led me to pursue a career in psychology and counseling. I’ve applied the knowledge and skills developed through my education in various work settings including research, non-profits, schools, and the private sector. Through exploring many areas of this field and multiple roles within, I was able to identify what I wanted my career to look like. This led me to launch my own business with the hope of connecting with and empowering individuals, professionals, and companies on their journeys while simultaneously enjoying mine.
I am originally from San Diego, California. After moving around the country for several years, I settled on making Colorado home. When I’m not working, you can find me hiking outdoors, curled up with a good book, or spending time with family and friends.

Gus Giorgione
Therapy Dog
Gus is an AKC Registered Golden Retriever. He lived with his breeder for the first 2 years of his life, working as a show dog. At age 2, Gus decided it was time for a career-change, and that’s when he became a part of my family.
After meeting Gus for the first time, I quickly observed his calming and intuitive presence. It seemed like he was meant to be a therapy dog and so began our journey. Gus has gone through training and evaluations in order to receive his certifications. I often incorporate Gus in sessions as a part of animal-assisted therapy. Outside of therapy sessions, Gus and I volunteer through Pet Partners, a nonprofit organization that provides therapy animal visits in schools, hospitals, and other community settings.
Gus loves meeting and interacting with clients. He has a sense for knowing when people need some extra comfort or a good laugh. If you want to visit with Gus or have him attend an event, please reach out to us!
When he’s not at the office with me, Gus lives a normal dog life. Some of his favorite activities are rolling in the grass, eating snow, and protecting everyone from squirrels.
