Experiencing trauma within relationships can deeply affect our sense of security and connection. Unresolved trauma can create discord and disconnect, manifesting as persistent tension, feelings of betrayal, or emotional withdrawal. You may find yourself caught in cycles of blame or misunderstanding, making it tough to find peace. Recognizing the impact of these experiences is crucial. By addressing them with compassion and insight, healing and reconciliation become possible, allowing for more genuine connections and stronger relationship bonds.
My name is Geneen McGowan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Licensed Professional Educator. I have experience working with a diverse range of populations, including individuals facing trauma, crises, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and relationship issues.
My clients often express how much better they feel after our first session. Initially, I focus on building rapport, and then I'm eager to hear your story. I believe in fostering a trust-based relationship and moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. During your first session, we'll explore what led you to seek therapy and determine the most effective strategies to help you make progress. We'll examine how your thoughts influence your emotions and overall experience. Throughout treatment, I will assist you in challenging those thoughts to improve your feelings and outlook.
