Genevieve Friedmann, LCSW

Genevieve made me very comfortable with my first counseling experience after a failed attempt at using a popular app. When I first visited her I was feeling like I was in crisis and desperate for help. I didn't even know exactly what I needed, but she was a perfect fit for helping me figure it out. Her insightful comments and questions allowed me to think about things differently and approach my issues in a new manner. Genevieve provided guidance and practical resources to assist me in solving concerns myself. She's helped me feel like a strong person again and taught me to be proud of myself. She consistently asked for feedback to be sure we were moving in the right direction and that the process was working for me. It was. I am forever grateful for the impact she has had on my life and the time I was able to spend with her.

When I met Genevieve Freedman, I was a young single mom going through a divorce, supporting myself and my son on minimum wage while struggling to stay in school. Before connecting with Genevieve, I felt defeated. I wasn’t making progress on my goals, and I felt insecure. I wasn’t sure if my goals were really attainable, and I didn’t have a clear idea of what concrete steps I could take to get me to the future I wanted. Genevieve helped me connect with practical resources, like financial resources and childcare solutions, and she helped me manage my stress and anxiety during some very difficult times in my life. She held me accountable to stay on track to achieve my own goals. Genevieve would listen and ask active questions to understand my goals and present me new information and options that supported my existing goals. She also helped me network with other women and supported me. She played a key role in my success today as a software engineer.

I'm so happy with the care I've been receiving with Genevieve while going through a difficult time in my life. She is so supportive and yet challenges me. She's able to be compassionate and also make me think about things in brand new ways. She is a great fit for me and I would recommend her to any of my friends in a heartbeat.
