Dr. Matthew Muracco

My name is Matthew Muracco, PsyD, and I am a licensed psychologist in the state of New York. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating life stressors and may need to find an approach to those challenges that best fits them, as well as a reminder of the strengths that they possess. I view myself as a very warm and empathic person who really wants to know about your genuine experience. Some fun facts about me include that I enjoy building Lego sets, watching classic movies, and rooting for the Buffalo Bills.

I approach therapy from an understanding that there is no greater expert of you than you. Therefore, I hold you in high regard and strive to fully understand what it means to be you, while knowing I can only come so close. In our efforts to make the changes we want to make, we will identify new strategies and skills to help us along the way and may often have homework to practice those skills. Together, we will work to adapt and change evidence-based approaches to fit you best in order for you to meet your goals.

Our first session will focus on gathering information as we get the needed details about your personal history to have the needed background information for your treatment. We will set goals for treatment so that we can have a starting point for what we want to focus on in treatment. This is an opportunity for us to build a strong working alliance, as that, in my view, is the key to positive outcomes in treatment.
