Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Genevieve! Welcome and greetings. I am Genevieve Brar, LCSW, and I hold a Master’s in Social Work from UMass Global. My approach to therapy invites you into a safe space to understand yourself without judgment of your past or the decisions you had to make at that time. I believe in providing my clients with practical strategies and interventions they can practice on their own as they learn and heal from life’s traumas. My approach I use a trauma-informed and client-centered approach, incorporating Brainspotting to support healing. Theoretical approaches I utilize include dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, internal family systems, Brainspotting, and client-centered methods. Brainspotting helps clients heal from life traumas or other impactful events. My focus You may be seeking therapy for life or situational events that have occurred. I have worked with many clients using IFS, Brainspotting, and other modalities to help them better understand themselves, overcome stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts, and develop therapeutic strategies to grow and thrive. My communication style In therapy, I create a welcoming environment to foster holistic growth while helping you learn how to be the best version of yourself. If you find yourself judging yourself, as we all do, I want us to explore why this happens so we can discover ways for you to feel better in life. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with me in the therapy chair, navigating my own life circumstances. Therapy brought me relief, and I wanted others to experience the same self-compassion and healing I found as a client. I believe therapy is a holistic journey we take for ourselves. My goals for you Goal setting is decided by you, with my support. My first session with you My goal during our first session is to help you understand self-compassion.
