About Me

Lisa De Geneste

Resilience and Restoration

As a therapist, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that high-achieving BIPOC women face in their personal and professional lives. My mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, heal from past traumas, and develop strategies to thrive.

My Approach:

I take an integrative approach, drawing from various evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-focused treatments. My goal is to tailor our work to your specific needs and cultural background, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and understood.

Areas of Focus:

While I work with a range of concerns, I specialize in supporting high-achieving Black women who are navigating:

  • Trauma and racial trauma

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Racial stress and micro-aggressions

  • Imposter syndrome and self-doubt

  • Burnout and work-life balance

My Background :

I received a MSW in clinical social work at The Silberman School of Social Work in New York City. I also completed post graduate training in Eriksonian Hypnosis at the Brooklyn Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. Additionally I have completed advanced training in multicultural counseling and trauma treatment (EMDR). As a Black woman, I deeply resonate with the challenges my clients face in predominantly white, high-pressure environments.

Take the First Step :

I understand that seeking therapy can be a courageous act, especially when dealing with cultural stigma and personal barriers. I'm here to listen without judgment and provide the guidance and support you need to heal, grow, and thrive.

If you're ready to embark on this transformative journey, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation call. Together, we'll explore your needs and determine if we're a good fit to work together.
