I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who works with women, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with trying to hold everything together.
Many of my clients are the people others rely on. They're hardworking, responsible, and often look like they're doing just fine from the outside. Internally, though, they may be struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences that still show up in their everyday lives.
I am a strengths-based, person-centered play-based therapist and consultant dedicated to the well-being of children and their grown-ups.
I use reflective guidance in my work with caregivers, and creative arts therapy and therapeutic play to connect with your littles and cultivate the conditions for transformation.
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.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity, and I approach therapy from a holistic perspective—seeing each client as a whole person within the context of their environment.
My work is rooted in being trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I often integrate somatic therapy and mindfulness, recognizing that trauma is carried not only in the mind but also in the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.
I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed independent clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Boston University.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Lexington, MA
Searching for postpartum therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can address more than depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, and related concerns. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Lexington may have fewer local postpartum therapists than a larger city, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping care easier to fit into life with a new baby. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
