My name is Nora Paparo and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Fordham University. I specialize in working with people who are struggling to function in their day-to-day lives helping them build skills, find balance, regain stability and move toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll focus on creating small, meaningful changes that lead to lasting progress.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgemental and supportive environment for exploring their thoughts and feelings, where they'll receive insights into their experiences, develop coping mechanisms, and collaborate on personalized treatment plans.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach to therapy is warm, direct and collaborative. I believe growth happens when clients feel supported and challenged, so I create a space where you can feel safe while also being encouraged to step outside your comfort zone. Together, we'll identify patterns, build new skills and work toward meaningful change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and learn new ways of coping. In sessions, we work together to understand how thoughts, feeling and behaviors connect, and I provide practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize DBT to support clients in building skills for managing emotions, improving relationships and handling stress in healthier ways. Together, we practice strategies like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and effective communication to feel more balanced and in control of your daily life.
