You’ve accomplished a lot, but lately you feel anxious, drained, or disconnected from yourself. You may carry invisible burdens or the pressure to always be “strong.” You want to feel grounded, confident, and at peace in your body, your relationships, and decisions. My clients are often ambitious women, including Black women, women of color, or immigrants who are ready to heal and grow on their own terms. I look forward to working with you.
I’m Dr. Gina Sissoko, a licensed clinical psychologist who integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally affirming care. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, and relational approaches to help clients reduce stress, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with their inner calm and purpose.
Therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. In our early sessions, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and begin shifting unhelpful patterns together. If you’re ready to feel more at ease in your mind, body, and relationships, I’d be honored to support you on that journey.
