Therapists for Women’s Issues in Bergen County

Geimy McFarland, LCSW

Clinical Supervisor
Trauma, EMDR, Motherhood & Attachment Healing

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. Whether you are navigating the effects of past trauma, struggling with anxiety or self-doubt, adjusting to a new stage of life, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, please know that you do not have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and growth at your own pace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), a master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University, and a certificate in Violence Against Women & Children from Rutgers. I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that our experiences are shaped by our relationships, environment, culture, and life circumstances. I am deeply passionate about women’s mental health and supporting individuals through the challenges and transitions that can arise throughout life.

I have a particular specialization in perinatal mental health and trauma, including fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, birth trauma, and the transition into parenthood. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, attachment wounds, compassion fatigue, grief and loss, infertility, and major life transitions. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by experiences that continue to impact their daily lives and relationships.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based practices, somatic therapies, and attachment-focused therapy. Together, we will explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your ability to navigate life’s challenges, and more grounded in the life you want to create.

I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. As someone from an immigrant family, I value the important role that culture plays in shaping our experiences and identity. My work with women and children who have survived complex trauma and abuse, across diverse ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, allows me to create an inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive therapeutic space.

I believe that healing is possible and that each person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and compassion as you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your understanding of yourself, and move toward achieving your full potential of self-sufficiency, self-empowerment, and self-love.
