Getting to know Anita Vaccaro

Therapy can be a very good thing for many. However, no one wants to be in therapy forever. I find many people end up spending way too long with not much gain, and finding themselves needing to go back to the "expert" to navigate their daily circumstances. My goal is to shortcut that process by tackling the source of the symptoms and then making YOU the expert of your own life and experience. Growth can happen. Joy and fulfillment are possible. Congratulations on taking the first step. I am so looking forward to joining you on your journey and helping you be the master of your destiny. My approach I don't believe that therapy should be a one-size-fits-all modality. If one medication doesn't work the same on all people, then that's proof that we are all wired very differently. Therefore, the approach to therapy should be tailored to the unique characteristics of the client. I use the latest, cutting-edge neuroscience-based approach to treatment while including a modality that fits that particular client to implement the human element as well. This gives an all-encompassing treatment protocol that has proven itself to be beneficial and fosters permanent change. My focus The great thing about my treatment modality it's that it is suited for a wide variety of populations because, at the end of the day, we are all human beings and driven by some of the same basic needs and unconscious forces that, when thwarted, can give rise to a variety of different issues. If we can get to the core of the problem, you will find that it can work with most populations. My communication style I don't vilify anyone, but instead have a very open, nonjudgmental environment in which people can look upon themselves with compassion. Change doesn't happen in judgment because with a mentality of judgment, the part of the brain that could learn something is shut down anyway. While I will still be forthcoming about what may need to change, I do so with compassion and understanding.
