Hello! I'm happy you found my page. I specialize in individual therapy with adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s struggling with anxiety, OCD, burnout, trauma responses, or adjustment/identity struggles that make it difficult to balance the many demands of modern life. As your therapist, I will work with you to establish a warm, affirming rapport, process emotions and experiences, expand coping skills, challenge unhelpful patterns, and connect with a deeper understanding of self. My intention is to support you in developing the tools, insight, and self-confidence you need to reach your wellness goals and live a more fulfilling life.
I work to tailor my approach to your unique goals while also affirming your culture and values. I integrate evidence-based frameworks including CBT, ACT, DBT, Existential/Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Somatic/Mindfulness-Based approaches. I also specialize in adjustment/identity concerns in young adults and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.
I understand that searching for a new therapist might bring feelings of anxiety or uncertainty. For many, though, overcoming that initial hurdle to begin therapy can lead to a rewarding experience and significant personal growth. If you feel that we could be a good fit to work together, or if you have any questions for me, I encourage you to reach out.
Call or Dr. Nicholas Gensmer now for a free 15 minute consultation - (941) 231-5302
