Ann Geismar

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) in the state of Florida. I am very experienced in the field of Gerontology, Aging, Care Management and working with Adults who are dealing with grief and loss, I have spent my entire professional career thus far helping adult’s, seniors and families who are trying to adjust to grief, medical impairment, Dementia related conditions and anxiety and depression relating to same. Additionally, I am very experienced in Senior Living, home safety, somatic preoccupation, adjustment disorders and other difficulties seniors face throughout the aging process. A seniors need for autonomy and independence is paramount while at the same time maintaining their health, safety and wellbeing. My approach is solution focused while also embracing a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy. For Seniors with Dementia or other cognitive impairment, I provide testing, verbal and visual cueing techniques as well as supportive intervention, family therapy and caregiver counseling and support. In addition to my expertise working with seniors, I am experienced in helping adult’s who are experiencing grief and loss; whether from divorce, death or estrangement. Sometimes these circumstances cause anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, guilt or other feelings relating to loss of a loved one. Through supportive intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy and/or education, I work with you to reduce grief symptoms and adjustment to your current life situation. I look forward to working with you!
