Specializes In:
Geraldine Nisi helps adults build resilience, insight, and emotional balance through thoughtful, evidence-based psychotherapy as a licensed clinical social worker at LifeStance Health in New York. She provides individual therapy for adults and seniors across NY, offering a supportive and collaborative space to address life stressors, emotional challenges, and meaningful personal growth. Geraldine specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and grief, helping patients understand patterns that keep them stuck and develop practical skills for lasting change. Her clinical focus also includes midlife and later life transitions and pain management, supporting individuals as they navigate identity shifts, role changes, health concerns, and evolving relationships. She brings a steady, compassionate presence to complex emotional experiences, tailoring care to each person’s goals and pace while drawing from additional areas of clinical experience when helpful. Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to promote emotional regulation, self-awareness, and effective coping. Geraldine works with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and strives to create an affirming environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. She also offers care in Italian for patients who prefer this language. Outside of her clinical work, Geraldine enjoys traveling, cross stitch, and spending time with her daughter. These interests inform her appreciation for creativity, patience, and connection, qualities that enrich her therapeutic relationships.
