I’m Dr. Gina Sissoko, a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping women—especially Black women, immigrant women, and high-achieving professionals—heal from trauma, manage stress, and create lives that feel balanced and authentic.
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both science and cultural awareness. I specialize in supporting women navigating burnout, relationship challenges, and the effects of racism or gender bias at work. In our sessions, I create a space where you can slow down, feel seen, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-certified therapist, dedicated to providing a warm, empowering space for healing. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, I specialize in helping individuals reprocess trauma, build skills to manage emotional dysregulation, and develop a more positive mindset. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, guiding you toward resilience and lasting change. Whether you're facing PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to support your journey to well-being.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, focusing on helping clients identify their personal strengths while developing practical coping skills to manage life’s challenges. I collaborate closely with each client to set achievable goals, improve communication, and build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being. I use evidence-informed techniques tailored to each individual, ensuring that therapy is both meaningful and applicable to daily life. My goal is to empower clients to create lasting, positive change while feeling understood and supported throughout the process.
