Getting to know Teresa Sclafani

I work with young adults and adults navigating life transitions, relationship and dating challenges, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, loneliness, depression, panic, existential anxiety, and career direction uncertainty. Together, we will explore how to move away from avoiding or struggling with your emotions and instead cultivate mindfulness, acceptance, and tolerance of your inner experiences. My goal is to support you in making meaningful changes, so you can develop greater self-confidence, a stronger sense of authenticity, deeper and more fulfilling connections, and more trust in your own decisions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is relational and strength-based, grounded in the belief that relationships are central to our emotional well-being. I integrate mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Through empathy and understanding, I provide a safe and stable foundation for your self-discovery. Our work will be collaborative, honoring your own insights as essential to the healing process. Along the way, you will discover new ways to cope, reconnect with your resilience, and build a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.
