About Georgia Wimberly, LCSW-R
Online Psychotherapy for Women Principals, Superintendents & School Administrators Across New York State
Welcome. I am Georgia Wimberly, LCSW-R. My professional life has been shaped by two areas that continue to inform my work as a psychotherapist: clinical social work and the New York public education system.
For more than 25 years of overall clinical practice, I have worked with people navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, stress, and significant life transitions. My experience spans community agencies, residential programs, public schools, and 14 years of dedicated private practice.
My work continues to be deeply informed by my 20 years as a school social worker within the K-12 public education system. This ongoing, firsthand experience gives me insight into the demands of school environments, the complexity of institutional relationships, and the responsibilities carried by those who lead educational communities.
Over the years, I have come to appreciate how closely professional responsibilities and personal well-being can intersect. The expectations people carry at work don't necessarily stay at work. They can influence relationships, self-perception, family life, and the way people experience themselves beyond their professional roles.
These experiences have shaped my decision to dedicate my private practice exclusively to women in educational leadership throughout New York State.
My Approach to Therapy
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy is not about labeling who you are or pathologizing the stress of your position. It is about understanding the systemic pressures you navigate, recognizing the strengths that have brought you this far, and making space for your own emotional needs.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. We begin with what matters to you, explore the concerns that bring you to treatment, and work toward goals that reflect your values and priorities. My aim is to offer a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and work at a pace that feels right for you.
