For those seeking a faith-based perspective, Christian counseling and spiritual integration are also available. Additional support is provided for patients managing ADHD, sleep concerns, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Outside of clinical work, Genis values personal growth and balance through hiking, mountain biking, roller skating, meditation, and traveling. These passions reflect a commitment to wellness, self-discovery, and living in alignment with personal values—perspectives that also shape Genis’s therapeutic approach. With more than a decade of experience, Genis is dedicated to supporting the people of Maine in their mental health journey.
