Getting to know James DeSantis

My clinical experience has been gained from working with an extremely diverse population of people in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Depending upon what will be most helpful for you on a individual basis, my approach draws upon the principles of Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as several other therapeutic methods. In creating such a therapeutic relationship, I employ a person-centered approach designed to give you the power to heal your own life. When we work together, I will provide you with non-judgmental support while we talk about your thoughts, feelings and issues with the ultimate goal of finding a solution that empowers you to change the things in your life that are bothering you. Utilizing principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I will empower you to bring about positive changes in your own life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is based upon the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. When you and I work together, we will problem-solve with the understanding that the key to success is figuring out which areas of your life you want to change. Prior to becoming a therapist, I successfully practiced law for over 10 years. I received my Juris Doctorate from Seton Hall University. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers, the American Psychological Society, and a non-practicing member of the Federal and State Bars of New York, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
