Nicholas M. Geiger, MSW, APSW | Therapist
Helping people isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling. As a Marine Veteran, I know firsthand the power of resilience, and I bring that same tenacity to my work in mental health and addiction recovery. My journey started with a passion for understanding people, which led me to earn my Master’s in Social Work with a focus on substance use and mental health treatment.
From leading dynamic group sessions to working one-on-one with clients navigating life’s toughest battles, I strive to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered. Whether we’re tackling addiction, anxiety, or life transitions, my goal is to help you break free from what’s holding you back and build the life you deserve.
