Giannci Genau, LCSW

Licensed in: New York
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Years of Experience: 5

I believe mental wellness enables us to positively cope, realize our strengths and abilities, and understand that life has ups and downs. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to help patients find greater resilience, stability, and self-determination.

When working with patients, I emphasize building an environment of trust, safety, and understanding. I empower patients to open up, engage with meaningful interventions, and build upon their existing capacities. I place an emphasis on applying evidence-based methodologies and partnering with individuals to identify strengths, clarify goals, and foster confidence.

In essence, I am committed to seeing and treating the whole person. By integrating various modalities, I make sure that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all formula. It is an individualized partnership grounded in respect and fueled by techniques that lead to measurable outcomes.
