Paola Cerruto, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), believes that the cornerstone of effective therapy is the relationship between a client and their therapist. She understands that in order for clients to share their stories, struggles, and secrets, they must first feel comfortable and connected with her. Paola skillfully facilitates this comfort by attentively addressing each client's needs and meeting them where they are in their life journey. Together, they work collaboratively to assess what is working and what isn't, allowing clients to achieve a sense of balance and openness that fosters personal growth. Her approach is direct yet empathetic, providing clear direction while nurturing a compassionate space for exploration. Additionally, Paola offers supervision for LPC-A's entering the licensing process, sharing her knowledge with aspiring professionals. With expertise in a range of issues, including eating disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem, she utilizes an integrative approach that incorporates various therapy modalities. Paola treats each client as a unique individual, acknowledging that everyone's needs are different, and is dedicated to helping them navigate their personal and mental health journeys.
