I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, life transitions, school or work stress, and relationship challenges. I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.
Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management and psychiatric evaluations. As an ER nurse for 15 years in the Psychiatric emergency department and spending the first half of my Nurse practitioner career on an inpatient psychiatric unit before going to outpatient, I have been there with people and helped them through their roughest days. Through medication managed crisis intervention work in these areas, I have learned to support your journey through medication stabilization, a lot of humor about the triggers and stressors life gives us and foundational guidance.
It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.
My name is Lamar Gilmore and I'm a licensed clinical therapist with over two decades of inpatient and outpatient experience working with adolescents, adults and families. I specialize in helping clients to improve their insight by using a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy with a trauma informed approach to minimizing stress and anxiety. By working together, my intentions are to help clients to learn coping skills that create positive changes in their life. I also specialize in issues related to substance use and abuse.
True healing isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about addressing the whole person.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that lasting stability and happiness require working on three levels: your physical experience, your emotional patterns, and your spiritual wellbeing. When all three are addressed together, real change becomes possible.
I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I have been a Licensed Social Worker for 17 years and believe that therapy is a wonderful tool for growth and change. My approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and help you live your best life!
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.
What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Poughkeepsie
Finding therapists in Poughkeepsie starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life transition. As you compare Poughkeepsie therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Poughkeepsie, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to filter by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Poughkeepsie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists in Poughkeepsie, NY who take insurance, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and offer virtual or in-person sessions. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
