I an enthusiastic believer in the ability of people to fully heal from eating disorder, OCD, and anxiety disorders. Are you tired of fighting with your own mind? Is your relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem starting to run your life? Are you exhausted at the thought of having to make one more scary decision all by yourself? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, I want you to know that there is hope and that you can build a better life. My name is Joe Sciarretta and since 2010 I have been helping people with eating disorders, OCD, and anxiety cope with and overcome their painful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I am an avidly optimistic therapist for my clients and I believe that anyone, really anyone, can change. I have worked at some of the top eating disorder and mental health treatment centers in the surrounding NJ area. From those experiences I have developed a good clinical intuition on how to help people who are highly motivated, somewhat unsure, or fearful of change. My practice focuses on a few key therapeutic approaches. I draw heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) and Exposure Therapies, like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I am an avid proponent of the 8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder book by Carolyn Costin and Gwen Grabb. I also provide Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and trauma issues, especially when the coincide with an eating disorder. My real specialty is in helping people who are unsure of what they want out of recovery. Oftentimes change can be scary, and recovery itself can be challenging (especially at the start). This is why I focus on working with someone 'where they are at'. If you want to know more, please reach out to my office and have a conversation. I offer free phone consultations and no commitment therapy trials. Start your journey towards feeling better today.

It’s never been more important to learn how to self-regulate: to settle yourself down when you’re freaked out, to get yourself engaged when you’ve frozen. To cultivate your sense of coherence and capacity. I can help you do that in our sessions, and teach you how to get there yourself, when you’re facing these challenges on your own. And as so much of healing comes from relationships, both personal and in a professional healing ones, it is essential to build these connections. When we’re stuck in a threat response, it’s hard to reach out and feel others’ support. There are many challenges we are currently facing, and we don’t have to do it alone. Getting your system regulated and calm can help you better access the support that is here. Incorporating the body into the conversation of healing is an essential part of developing vitality and joy. The focus of my practice is to work directly with the physiology and with energetic systems, building health and slowly renegotiating how life challenges were managed. The modalities I use to guide this work are Somatic Experiencing, Polarity Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, AEDP, Reiki and Realization Process, supported by psychotherapy.

I work with individual adults as they manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, marriage, relationship, and dating issues, aging and caregiving concerns, parenting, pregnancy, and career and life transitions. Therapy meets you where you are. Clients seek my help for many reasons. Whether you're struggling with a crisis, managing painful or difficult emotions, or just interested in learning more about yourself, therapy can help you explore who you are and what has shaped you. Examining your personal history helps you begin the discovery process. Sometimes we adopt roles based on old patterns that don't serve us any longer. I help my clients uncover the stories they've convinced themselves or true, or that others have told you. These stories often keep you stuck. Therapy helps you identify unconscious obstacles to achieving goals, enabling you to begin the healing process feeling authentic and happier. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds.

You may be looking for help because your teenager or young adult feels overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, emotionally reactive, withdrawn, or uncertain about how to move forward. School stress, ADHD, changing relationships, greater independence, family tension, or the transition to college and adulthood may be affecting daily life. As a parent, you may also be unsure how to remain supportive without taking over. At Psychological Services of New York, my clinical team and I work with teenagers, college students, young adults, parents, and families throughout Westchester. My approach is practical, collaborative, and individualized. I take the time to understand the whole person and how emotional concerns, relationships, family dynamics, school, work, and developmental changes may be influencing one another. Therapy should not feel rigid or scripted. I use an integrative approach that draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered care, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. This allows treatment to be tailored to your needs, strengths, goals, and stage of life rather than forcing one method onto every client. Our work may involve understanding patterns, developing practical coping skills, strengthening relationships, improving emotional regulation, and building greater confidence and direction. When appropriate, I also work with parents to help them better understand what their child is experiencing and find a healthier balance between support and independence. Whether the concern involves anxiety, ADHD, depression, school or college stress, emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, family conflict, or another important life transition, the goal is to make sense of what is happening and develop realistic steps toward meaningful change.
