Meet Genevieve
My personal story involves a profound transformation. For twenty years, I practiced law, making partner at a prestigious law firm and trying cases all over the country. I loved the thrill of trial and my brilliant colleagues. But everything changes. For me, midlife brought a series of changes — parenthood, divorce, and then single parenthood — that shifted both my values and my resources. I left my law career to answer a long-felt call to help others in a different way. Metanoia is the culmination and result of that change process.
Genevieve Wallace, JD, MA, LMHCA
I aim to be a steady and hopeful presence through whatever may be changing for you — whether that change is something you’re seeking in yourself or a change that is thrust upon you. Life often has things in mind for us that we might not have chosen. I hold space for the uncomfortable feelings that come up around change, and when the time is right, facilitate the emergence of your own vision for what’s next. Throughout, my own belief in what is possible acts as a beacon when the waters are rough.
In my work as a therapist,
I help lawyers and other professionals who are striving to bring a more authentic and integrated self to their work. My legal background provides me with deep, experiential insight into the challenges facing lawyers and professionals in other high pressure fields. Whether you are looking to perform at your absolute best within your career or looking into what's next for you professionally, I can help. I bring a holistic approach to my work with professionals, understanding that there’s no change to a job in isolation — rather, such changes impact our families, and even our own self-concept.
