“I saw Dr. G for about a year after my initial appointment throu Zocdoc. Dr. G helped me get out of a difficult realtionship and period of my life where i really felt alone and lost. She was empathic and really understood what i needed, but challeneged me when i would be overly critical or interpreating things wrong. I am so grateful to have worked with her. Thank you Dr. G!”

“Dr. Gereis has been my long time therapist. She really helped me understand myself better and how I sometimes get in my own way. She is really understanding, but will challenge me in the ways I need, not just tell me what I want to hear. Love her! ”

Angie Gereis, Psy.D., is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY#32193) specializing in diagnostic assessment and psychotherapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?
My therapeutic style is integrative and collaborative in nature, combining a "whole person" approach with evidence based treatments (EBT) that are tailored to the presenting problem, personal history, and individual strengths.
I view therapy as a place for us to explore your story: you are the author of your own life story, and together, we brainstorm, evaluate, write and rewrite the chapters of your life to create a meaningful, healing and fulfilling narrative that makes sense to you. We work together to understand the parts of your story that may no longer make sense to you, and create goals to achieve a different way to think, feel and respond by incorporating all aspects of what makes you... you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After an initial COMPLIMENTARY 15 minute consultation call where we discuss what brings you into therapy, our first session is 60 minutes and consists of me getting a deeper sense of what you are experiencing, your personal and family history, areas of strength and support in your life, and areas that you feel you would like to see improve. By the end of that session, we will discuss what your therapy goals are, and what course of therapy may be best for you, including if additional sessions are needed.
