Getting to know Phillip Tardanico

Thanks for taking the time to read my bio! Opening up about your past, fears, worries, trauma, and life challenges can be tough, especially if you don't feel a connection with the person you're sharing it with. While I don't have magical powers, I strive to create a place where everyone I work with feels valued and comfortable. My approach includes education, helping you understand your diagnosis, and teaching ways to challenge and change negative thoughts, with the ultimate goal of empowering you to manage your thoughts, emotions, and feelings independently. I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use, using a person-centered approach tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. My approach I really appreciate cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy as they can be used for a wide variety of issues, challenges, and diagnoses. Often, we create our own anxiety, depression, and struggles with emotional control because we let our emotional mind take over. But when we find a balance between our wise, rational, and emotional minds, we gain better control over our thoughts and feelings. This helps us make better decisions, stay present, and stop worrying about the past and future. My focus My past choices, decisions, and ability to overcome life's struggles have shaped my therapeutic approach, enabling me to share my experiences with those facing similar challenges. I've had the privilege of working with individuals who are ready to shift their mindset, recognize that their current path may not be the best, and seek change. They often just need a little extra support to make those changes happen. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I'm here to help you discover the roadmap to help reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
