I am just a young woman trying to understand and live in a world that can at times feel overwhelming to say the least. I always knew that I loved to help others since I was a little girl and I had a passion for wanting others to see the best in themselves. I eventually found my place within Social Work. I completed my MSW at NYU and during my tenure within the Social Work field of over a decade, I have been able to acquire three specialties...School, Medical and Forensic.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.

I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.

Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.

Hi! I have been primarily working with grieving individuals for 5 years. I also work with individuals experiencing depression, adjustment issues, relationship/family issues, and anxiety. As your therapist, I want to listen to your story, validate your feelings, and help you navigate your journey with empathy, understanding, and self-care tools. Past clients have mentioned feeling so heard and cared for after our sessions. That is my goal. Your experience deserves to be acknowledged.

Let me share some information about myself. I am a graduate from Brooklyn College for my BA degree and I attended NYU for my masters degree in social work. I have worked in different setting over the years and really enjoy working with all different age groups. I enjoy families, couples and individuals. I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make once they start to see their own patterns and what they feel they should change.

"Clients start to heal the moment they feel heard".

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of New York. My approach to therapy is warm, open-minded, collaborative, and supportive. Throughout that process, I use an integrative

approach utilizing DBT, CBT, strength-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I specialize in

couples’ therapy, and treatment resistant individual therapy.

I’m Dr. Gina Sissoko, a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping women—especially Black women, immigrant women, and high-achieving professionals—heal from trauma, manage stress, and create lives that feel balanced and authentic.

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both science and cultural awareness. I specialize in supporting women navigating burnout, relationship challenges, and the effects of racism or gender bias at work. In our sessions, I create a space where you can slow down, feel seen, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.

It can be hard to recognize when you need to turn to someone else for help. Sometimes having a trusted person outside your family & friends can offer clarity and help during difficult situations. I work with my clients to identify what is making them feel "stuck" or overwhelmed and put them back on the path of feeling empowered, grounded and hopeful. By exploring your thoughts & feelings, we will be able to move you forward and help you to find the support you need and find happiness in the moment.

During this unique time, I am also offering short term support to individuals in quarantine, especially students on college campuses
