Hello and thank you for visiting Gunn Psychological Services, Inc. My name is Francesco

Pisano. I was born and raised in Italy where I received my Bachelor of Science in Clinician

Psychology from the University of Rome “La Sapienza.” After moving to the United States, I

later obtained a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Chicago School of

Professional Psychology in Los Angeles. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist.

My experience includes working in school settings, with the Department of Family services

providing mental health assessment and case management, community mental health with

minorities providing individual, group, family, couples therapy in English and Spanish. I have

also worked with adults and older adults with high needs in a hospital setting. Furthermore, I

have received extensive training in working with the 0-5 population.



I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated

Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and (through the DMH of California) Child

Parent Psychotherapy (0-5 years old). From UC Davis, I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction

Therapy (PCIT) with children from 2 - 7 years of age. Also from UC Davis, I am trained in the

interventions Seeking Safety and Trauma-Focused CBT. I work collaboratively with clients to

make sure that all the needs are met, keeping in consideration their cultural diversity, and

Intergenerational/Systemic trauma using a trauma informed/attachment approach. I am a firm

believer in the use of therapy as an instrument of change for the individual and the society as a

system. I currently maintain a license in both Arizona and California as a Marriage and Family

Therapist.
