Geraldine Leary, LCSW

Geraldine Leary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping people navigate overwhelming life challenges. She understands how stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, substance use, and self-esteem issues can create a stuck feeling and lead to unhelpful coping strategies. Geraldine approaches each person as resourceful and capable, offering supportive guidance to uncover inner strengths and practical steps toward desired change.

She meets people where they are, providing a calm, nonjudgmental environment to learn skills for quieting the mind, staying present, and moving toward meaningful goals. Her clinical background includes cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and techniques for managing life on lifes terms. Geraldine has worked across individual, group, family, and couples counseling, serving clients from age 12 to 95 in outpatient, residential, in-home, and inpatient settings in both community-based and hospital environments.

Her style is eclectic and tailored to each person, with treatment chosen to match specific needs. She listens for strengths, patterns, and internal dialogue to shape a practical plan. Described as both present and respectful, she can be challenging in a way she calls "carefrontational," inviting collaborative effort to remove obstacles to being ones best self. Geraldine is ready to partner with those who have decided to seek therapeutic support and looks forward to helping them create a new chapter.
