Close Up Radio Spotlights Spiritual Psychotherapist Dr. Geri Kerr

Morristown, NJ – Geri Kerr is a highly regarded couple relationship and family therapist dedicated to helping people move toward wholeness and healthiness in their lives. Spanning over 20 years working with individuals, couples, and families, Geri is also a transformational life coach, author, a retreat leader, has a background in pastoral ministry, leads workshops for National Marriage Week each year, and is Certified as an instructor in Gottman’s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.

Geri learned earlier in her life the devastating effects of trauma and loss. As a young mother with four very small children, her spouse abandoned her and the children. Always a spiritual person, Geri allowed her faith to lead her forward.. In addition to raising the children and working, she pursued all her degrees in higher education, knowing for sure that she needed to use her experience to help others as a mental health clinician. Life was good until another major trauma in 2015 stopped her short – the diagnosis of a major brain tumor. “Waking up the Light” in ICU after a major craniotomy, Geri allowed the loving support of family and friends to help restore her to wholeness and healing.

Recognizing that change and endings are door openers to new beginnings rather than door closers, Geri’s work is committed to helping others find wholeness and new beginnings in their lives after loss too.

“Through my own life and work, I have come to understand that facing our fears through the dark emotions is the pathway toward finding the light which gives our lives greater meaning and purpose than we may ever have had without our loss.”
