Getting to know Joanne Gerr

I see therapy as a joint process in which we work together to help you reach your goals. I work successfully with individuals and couples-helping single people find fulfilling relationships and helping couples communicate and resolve conflicts, resulting in happier and more loving relationships. My solution-oriented approach for both individuals and families addresses a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and the various stressful situations that arise both at work and at home. I work extensively with, and have a high rate of success overcoming, emotional eating and obsessive thinking around food, weight, and body image. I work with individuals of all ages and genders who have eating and weight problems. As a highly trained and experienced solution-focused therapist with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor's degree from Simmons University, my goal is to help you resolve difficult issues, find happiness, and grow into your potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying a variety of empirically based strategies tailored to your needs, I will empower you to change behavior patterns, unconscious blocks, and cognitive distortions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and joyous life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to coaching you. My NY office is centrally located near Grand Central and Bryant Park (easily accessible from all subways, Grand Central, and Penn Station), and my NJ office is easily accessible, centrally located, and has free parking. Joanne refers to and coordinates medication treatment with providers she works with. Joanne does not prescribe medication herself. We also offer out of network insurance reimbursement

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am actively involved in the session. I take your goals seriously, providing extensive feedback and tools to use inside and outside the session. What I hear from many of my patients, is “I can tell you really care” and “I feel empowered and hopeful when I leave.”

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Each client’s path is unique. The first step is to find out about your past and present—especially what brings you into counseling today. The second step is employing a variety of techniques as well as identifying unconscious blocks that are keeping you stuck, so you can attain the personal growth and goals that you came in for.
