Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression? Does the state of the world seem overwhelming, and you just can't seem to shake the negativity? Are your relationships with family and friends feeling especially draining? Hello, my name is "Marty" Ferraioli, and I am accepting new clients who would like to make positive changes in their lives, but don't know where to start. I use humor and relatability to aid my clients in reaching their personal wellness goals. I provide in-person and telehealth options for your convenience. If you're feeling "stuck," struggling with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, or coping with relationship conflicts, reach out. I support my clients as they uncover and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors preventing wellness. I use creative and tangible interventions that empower my clients to initiate lasting and positive changes in their lives.
During our first session we will gather background information, review treatment goals and expectations for therapy as well as, dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The feedback I receive from my clients is that they enjoy the fact that I am proactive and care about their well-being, I am actively engaged in sessions, and I provide direction in the therapy assignments. I use humor and relatability. My clients report feeling supported and more positive after the initial session.
The clients who are overwhelmed and may have tried therapy in the past find that I am proactive in their treatment and offer a non-judgmental, supportive, and affirming environment, where clients can freely express themselves and begin their journey of self-healing.
I use a creative approach to the evidence-based practices, engaging my clients in understanding the CBT relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors to initiate positive change to thwart the unhelpful thinking traps which keep client's stuck in a loop of behaviors that hold them back from achieving goals, moving forward and feeling more positive about themselves.
I engage clients in self awareness of feelings and thoughts to move through emotional situations and engage in more positive interactions with others, including setting healthy emotional boundaries for more balanced and positive relationships with themselves and with others.
I use psychoanalytic therapy with a trauma-informed lens to help my clients explore and understand how their past experiences influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I aid my clients in moving through their past experiences, crafting a new narrative and repairing their unhealed, fractured selves.

She will listen carefully then pin point onto what is the core of it and work with you on how to better approach or cope with it. She is very direct but sometimes that exactly what you need to cut through the fog.

Keeps challenging how I have viewed life for so long making me really rethink patterns in myself I did not realize we're hurting more than they were helping.
