Wonderful therapist! Very knowledgeable and has helped me a lot with only three sessions! Geneen is extremely easy to talk to and open up with. She is insightful and compassionate in her approach to therapy. She makes you think about different view points and how to better communicate with others.
It is wonderful to have an insightful, passionate and diverse therapist like her in your corner. Thank you Geneen!
