About Me

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." -Audre Lorde

Welcome! I’m Lisa de Geneste, a licensed therapist specializing in trauma therapy and mental health counseling in New York, California and Florida. My approach transforms trauma and mental health challenges into lasting peace through compassionate, results-oriented therapy.

Living with trauma or mental health challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. As a trauma-informed therapist with over 20 years of experience, I provide a safe, nurturing space where healing becomes possible.

I specialize in:

- CPTSD recovery and PTSD treatment (EMDR)

Every person's journey is unique. I tailor evidence-based therapeutic techniques to your specific needs, helping you build resilience, reclaim your sense of safety, and create lasting positive change. My goal is to empower you with the tools and support needed to not just cope, but truly thrive.
