Christopher Scarallo

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), based in New York. I’ve worked with adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of settings, from schools to private practice. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions, and I’m especially attuned to working with individuals who feel overstretched, emotionally stuck, or like they’re constantly performing instead of connecting.

Clients working with me tend to value authenticity — I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I show up as a real person in the room, someone who’s not just listening, but actively working with you to understand what’s underneath your patterns and how to move forward in a sustainable way.

My style is collaborative, grounded, and nonjudgmental. I primarily integrate client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques — which means we’ll focus both on emotional insight and practical tools. I also tailor sessions to meet you where you are, balancing structure with flexibility based on what you're going through.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you understand yourself, navigate challenges with more clarity, and develop skills that actually work in your daily life.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, a deeper understanding of their patterns, and concrete tools to support emotional regulation, communication, and self-awareness. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, navigating relationships, or building routines that stick, you’ll walk away with both insight and a plan. My hope is that you’ll start to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to your values — not just in session, but in your everyday life.
