Giovanni Bass approaches professional therapy with the cordial tone of a brother. Seeing him as the counselor’s counselor, I recommend him for ministers, teachers, and others in the field of therapy. With his level of care, I am inclined to continue some form of counseling for the rest of my life.

Giovanni is a caring individual who has helped me tremendously. He listens, is thoughtful and provides just enough guidance to help you grow and evolve. I am truly appreciative of his warmth he has provided me over the last year. I highly recommend him if you are looking to grow as an individual, are willing to do the work and to step out of what you know, to explore the endless options that await you. Giovanni helps you by supporting you and helping give direction, when you are not sure which way to go. I am so thankful for him.

Mr. Giovanni Bass is one of the best therapists I have had the pleasure to meet. He is professional and friendly and he's sessions are far from boring.
He challenged me and uplifted me and made me see myself in ways I couldn't imagine. His use of Biblical scripture in our therapy sessions combined with guided counselling is highly valuable.
I would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone in need of therapy counselling with a spiritual perspective.
