Rockland County Counseling is now Embrace Psychotherapy!

My name is Geraldine (she/her), everyone calls me Gerry. I’m a first-generation Caribbean-born graduate, a proud single mother of three young men, and a Mental Health Counselor practicing under a limited permit. My philosophy is simple: “Each one teach one. If you didn’t come from a healthy family, make sure a healthy family comes from you.”
I earned dual master’s degrees in Health Education & Promotion and Clinical Mental Health
Counseling, with an undergraduate in Sociology from Lehman College. Since 2005, I’ve worked in Health and Human Services, and these experiences shaped my belief that healing is holistic and rooted in each person’s unique needs.

I honor the resilience and pride we all carry, even when it isn’t always visible, and I offer a space
where you can show up fully without code-switching, without shrinking, and with the freedom to be your authentic self. "You are not alone” - my warm, collaborative approach honors your pace and truth. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but reclaiming what’s already
yours: your voice, your joy, your rest, your wholeness.
Outside of counseling, I recharge by watching sci-fi movies, burning candles, enjoying spicy foods (I’m a proud foodie!), and indulging in the therapeutic ritual of online “window shopping.”
