Joseph Cereghino, Licensed Psychologist

If you’re looking for therapy, you may be feeling caught in patterns of stress, self-criticism, or painful emotions that seem hard to shift. You might sense that the ways you’ve been coping no longer serve you, and you’re ready for something deeper than just “getting by.” It can feel overwhelming to face this alone—and you don’t have to. In our work together, I’ll invite you to slow down and gently explore your relationship with your thoughts, feelings, and body. Drawing from Buddhist psychology and Gestalt therapy, I help clients bring mindful awareness to the present moment, so they can begin to see themselves—and their experiences—more clearly. This isn’t about pushing difficult emotions away, but rather learning how to relate to them with curiosity, compassion, and flexibility. Together, we’ll explore how your inner world shapes the way you move through life and relationships. As you develop a kinder, more spacious relationship with yourself, you may also find greater freedom in how you connect with others. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and practical tools while creating a safe space for authentic growth. I believe that healing happens not by trying to become someone else, but by becoming more fully yourself—with awareness, resilience, and self-compassion.

Looking for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying stress, self-doubt, or painful emotions on your own. My role is to offer a compassionate space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin to see yourself more clearly. Together, we’ll explore how you relate to your thoughts and feelings, and discover new ways of coping that feel more flexible and supportive. My approach is rooted in mindfulness and presence, drawing from Buddhist psychology and Gestalt therapy to help you reconnect with yourself and others in a more authentic way. I believe change happens not by becoming someone else, but by learning to meet yourself with curiosity, kindness, and compassion.
