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.

I'm a board certified psychiatrist. I received my medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University and trained in psychiatry at the BIDMC Harvard Psychiatry Residency Training Program. I also completed a one-year fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

I practice general adult psychiatry and specialize in women's mental health and reproductive psychiatry, young adult mental health, and LGBT+ mental health.

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 who specializes in helping adults break free from long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not just through insight, but through learning how to feel safe, regulated, and connected both within yourself and in relationship with others.

I earned My Master’s degree in Social Work and is clinically trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS – Level 1), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic-Based Practices, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Psychedelics Integration, and Narrative Therapy. I integrate trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approaches to help clients move beyond coping and into meaningful, embodied change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct, supporting clients in developing self-trust while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the health and wellness field, including roles in movement, bodywork, and mind-body practices. This background strongly informs my holistic approach to therapy and understanding of how emotional experiences are stored and expressed in the body. I pay close attention to how stress, trauma, and attachment wounds show up not just in thoughts, but in physical sensations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

In therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen communication skills, and develop the capacity to stay grounded during uncomfortable or vulnerable moments. My goal is not to “fix” clients, but to help them understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.

I specialize in perinatal care and women's health issues. I am dedicated to helping women face the challenges related to infertility, loss, and the postpartum period.

With my unique holistic approach we can reduce negative though patterns and increase positive relationship internally and externally.

I am an LMHC who specializes in disability, chronic pain, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I graduated from Suffolk University with an Masters of Science in mental health counseling.
