Hello and welcome. I’m Genevieve Clineman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and person-centered therapy to help clients develop coping skills, improve emotional wellness, build confidence, and create lasting change. Together, we work toward greater balance, clarity, resilience, and healthier relationships.

With a caring and nonjudgmental approach, I work with clients to help them achieve the deep satisfaction and joy missing from their lives. Many circumstances have brought you to the point where anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or frustration have made it difficult for you to live your best life. Together we embark on a journey that helps you to better understand yourself and then implement changes so that you are in charge again.

I also have extensive experience working with children, teens, and families. I can help bring the joy back to parenting your child (whether they are struggling with ADHD, OCD, school phobia or are on the spectrum) we can work together so that you feel empowered to provide the best support necessary

I also offer teletherapy sessions.

You don’t have to navigate everything on your own. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds. I work with individuals facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more.

I have trained in the psychodynamic field but have since enlarged my area of practice into more interventional modalities

My name is Norma, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Pace University. I chose to pursue mental health because I am passionate about helping individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered during some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives.

I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.

As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.

It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.
