Great to meet you!

My name is Gerardine and I am a Clinical Mental Health counselor who works with adolescents and adults. I work with families who are looking to get back on the same page with clear communications, with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, LGBQ+, trauma, addiction, and issues with self-esteem and self-acceptance. I have 10 years working in the substance use field with dual-diagnosis clients. I have experience at all levels of care. I also worked with adults at the inpatient level of care with comorbidity of substance abuse and mental health issues. I graduated from both Boston University with a B.A. in Accounting and Rivier University with an M.S. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Substance Use Disorders.

My approach to therapy

I have 10 years of experience in the mental health, therapy and substance use fields. She uses a client-centered approach, along with CBT and Motivational Interviewing.
