A desire for change and growth is a sign of health. Sometimes we get stuck and face a multitude of external and internal barriers to becoming the person we want to be-whether is be personally, professionally, or relationally. If you are like many of my clients, you have tried a variety of traditional approaches to therapy and hit a plateau. We will work together as you pursue deeper healing and more meaningful growth that will move you towards your higher, most authentic self.

One of the main reasons people come to therapy is to help manage their anxiety. People who experience anxiety are sensitive to and aware of the energy around them, so they often appreciate my approach to therapy as we dive into the energies they are feeling. When people experience high levels of anxiety, they are frequently in touch with themselves and are able to listen to what their body is telling them.

Amidst the chaos and pressure of living in the city, life can get challenging. Whether you are looking to work through existing challenges or feel compelled to move in a new direction, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to do it alone. It might be tempting to just figure things out yourself so that you don't appear "weak" or burden other people especially if it has worked for you in the past but there’s another way! I help high achievers overcome perfectionism that have led to burnout, chronic fear, and feeling like they’ll never be or have enough.

I work with individuals ages 22-38 who are struggling with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, and relationship issues. I help clients disentangle their thoughts, learn to cope with their stressors, improve their self-esteem, and make life transitions. Our work will teach you new coping skills, change your ways of thinking and relating to others, and resolve any past traumatic experiences that might be leaving you feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or less connected to yourself or others. I also work with those seeking sex therapy and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My philosophy of therapy is collaborative and holistic, and I aim to meet people where they’re at to inspire change. I work mostly with folks (individuals, couples or families) facing anxiety or overwhelm, struggling with burn out, or dealing with instability in relationships. Together, we can help to make sense of difficult relationships, to own and advocate for your feelings and needs, and to identify and set boundaries with others. I also provide support to couples around communication issues and relational changes.

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, eating disorders, career concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, my clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

At times, it can feel challenging to navigate growth and change on your own. I'd like to help you find clarity and relief. I see therapy as a collaborative space to increase self-understanding, practice healthy communication, and build self-compassion. In session, I lead with warmth and curiosity and love to connect with my patients through humor. Together, we can work to observe and deepen awareness of thought patterns and emotional experiences. Through this practice of self-reflection, we'll harness your strengths and bring new perspective to unhelpful thoughts, difficult or uncomfortable emotions, and unhealthy behaviors.

Are you often self-critical, with a negative or harsh voice in your head? Do you feel suffocated by shame, “not good enough-ness”, and unworthiness and the sense of aloneness that follows? Maybe you’ve had these feelings and thoughts for a long time, learned from past traumatic experiences or an unsupportive environment you grew up in. These experiences are painful and can hinder you from living a more rewarding and joyful life. If this sounds familiar, I understand and I’m here to help. I specialize in working with anxiety, complex trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, sexuality, and gender.

If all the world is a stage, do you feel like the only one who didn't get a copy of the script? Did you grow up feeling there was something fundamentally different or 'wrong' about you, something that you had to hide from the world? Do you feel you are often misunderstood in social situations, that you have to choose your words very carefully or people will misinterpret them? Do certain sounds, tastes, or textures bother you a lot? Have you had the thought 'either autistic people need to stop being so relatable, or I need to see a therapist' ?

With many therapeutic "tools" to draw from, I work with collaboratively with clients to determine what it is they are looking for from therapy, and which therapeutic path will likely be best for what they are looking for.

John P. Carnesecchi, LCSW, CEAP is a seasoned clinician that treats people of all ages. A client is usually struggling but feels connected enough with me as their therapist to speak openly and freely about their experience. They can accept feedback with an understanding that we are both on the same team. When we touch on something out of their comfort zone, I hope they recognize they are safe and can stay engaged in the process. Together, we push past the barriers preventing them from feeling better, and they gain a better understanding of themselves to meet their potential.

Many of my clients struggle in relationships with themselves, family, partners, events from their past, or with certain habits. I often find that at the core of these struggles is the basic need to be understood and accepted. My approach to therapy is collaborative and you-centered; I strive to create a space that invites exploration and curiosity, rather than criticism and shame. With therapy, you'll begin to see yourself and others with less negative, isolating emotions, and in a more balanced and compassionate light.
