Joseph Scotto was a great therapist especially for couples. One half of the couple had never experienced therapy before while the other half completes separate individual therapy. He made both partners feel very comfortable and engaged. Joseph truly went out of his way to understand exactly what we were trying to address and communicate during each session. His recommendations and insight were very effective. We could not be more satisfied with the entire experience and gained valuable information and techniques to benefit ourselves individually and as a couple.

I saw Joseph for a few months to work through some challenging family dynamics and found the exact therapy approach that worked for me.
I very much appreciated his very personable and no-nonsense manner, along with his emphasis on constructive advice and thoughtful guidance on how to move forward while working through some deeper issues.

I was referred to Joe by a friend when I was going through my divorce. Prior to meeting him, I had tried a few different therapists - none of whom were the right fit. I really needed a neutral-party to help me sort through all the emotions and big life-change I was experiencing and Joe offered just that. He put me at ease, was easy to talk to and allowed me to work through things at my own pace.
Joe has also helped me tackle anxiety issues, managing/exiting toxic work situations and coming to terms with unhealthy relationships.
I would highly recommend Joe.

I would highly recommend Joseph Scotto for anyone seeking a therapist. He is kind, empathetic and insightful. He makes you feel at ease with humor, which I appreciated at emotionally difficult moments. His prices are very reasonable, as well.
