In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.

As a seasoned clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist and with a passion for working with couples and along with a specialty in sex therapy, my 25 years of experience being with individuals, couples, and families is deeply gratifying personally and professionally. Believing that as human beings we are " hardwired to connect "and protest when we're not being heard, understood or getting our needs met, I am committed to collaboratively working to nurture and strengthen our relationship with ourselves and with others in our lives. The importance of being present, compassionate and providing a safe space is what inspires me to help those struggling with challenges, to change and heal from stress, pain, and trauma, and to repair and enhance relationship bonds.

I take a holistic approach to therapy. It's important to recognize that anxiety (or depression or stress) is a part of you and not all of you. You are a person who has a particular symptom or difficulty, you are not the anxiety, depression or stress! So when you're looking for help you want to work with a holistic counselor who sees and treats the whole you-- body, mind and spirit. I promote transformation and healing by blending depth therapy, body-focused emotional release, spiritual-growth counseling, expressive art techniques, and breathing meditation. I support older teens, and adults of all ages in creating healthy responses to current situations. I want to help you take the next steps into living your own life more fully.

Welcome! It can be hard to recognize that you might have parts of your life that you have pushed aside or are uncomfortable with. It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge this and then to take the steps to reach out to someone for assistance. I believe in working as a partner with people to explore areas that cause difficulty, to build upon solutions that have previously worked, and to learn new skills to improve one's ability to cope. I enjoy getting to know the people I work with and finding solutions that are unique to them. One of my greatest professional joys is being with someone as they grow in ways that allow them to find calm, confidence, and better ways of coping in this wild world. If you feel we might be a good match, I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. Telehealth provided across NY State only. I am accepting new clients and have availability in the morning hours (9am-12pm).

In my over 25 years of experience in offering psychotherapy to individuals, families and couples, I have seen, time and time again, the inherent ability each person has for healing and change that can be stimulated and helped through therapy. My work is to support you in this process, employing my advanced training in an array of successful therapeutic approaches including mindfulness therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, to design and facilitate a treatment plan to meet the personal needs of each client individual, family or couple.

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.

Since beginning my nursing career in 2011, I’ve dedicated my work to helping adults manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.

In-person evening or weekend therapy available in Scarsdale, White Plains, and Mahopac. I help couples and adults work through relationship conflict, emotional distance, sexual concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), alcohol-related concerns, men’s issues, and patterns that keep repeating. Some people come in with a partner. Others come in alone because mood, drinking, trauma, anger, avoidance, or relationship stress is affecting the life they want. My work is practical, direct, and focused on understanding what gets stuck, so we can work on what needs to change.
