Joanne Gerr, LCSW

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 to 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, 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 behaviour 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, Bryant Park (easily accessible from all subways, Grand Central and Penn Station), and my NJ office is easily accessible and centrally located and has free parking.
