Lucia Cucinotta

I believe we are whole and complete, yet the structures and communities we live in might have us feeling like we are lacking, broken, and/or that there is something “wrong” with us. Life can be hard, and it can make us hard. Hard on ourselves, hard on the people we love, and hard on the people we interact with. As we grow and live through the natural stages of life, and the expected and unexpected events that arise, the strategies we consciously or unconsciously developed throughout our life to keep us safe and regulated might no longer be working for us. They might even be causing us distress or dysfunction. Our helpful coping strategies have become unhelpful, and this is where therapy comes in.

I am grounded in a person-centered approach to therapy where existential themes, relational gestalt therapeutic practices, and evidence based mindfulness techniques are incorporated into the therapeutic healing model of exploration, insight, and action.

Research shows that a strong connection with your therapist is one of the most important predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. For this reason, I offer a virtual complimentary consultation so you can make sure that I am a good fit for you, that my specializations and approach meet your needs, and that I can provide you with the appropriate level of care.

If you decide I am a good fit, we will schedule your first session and I will send you all the necessary intake forms. In your first therapy/intake session, we will further discuss your goals for therapy and begin to explore the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that may be holding you back from making the little shifts that could make a big difference in living your most authentic life.
