My name is Dr. Paul Maione and I have been practicing, teaching and training in the field of counseling and psychotherapy for the last 25 years. My approach is down to earth, practical and results oriented. I specialize in working with couples on the brink of splitting up as well as individual suffering from anxiety, depression and trauma related injuries.
All clients can expect to feel listened to, understood and inspired that there is help for them. They can expect that I will not rush in with simplistic advice or solutions but we will collaborate together on the best course of action. If I am doing my job right, you are finding the strength, abilities and resources within yourself to overcome whatever difficulties you are experiencing.
My greatest strengths include my experience with a variety of presenting, (you can't shock me) my ability to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment for the therapy process to unfold, unique strategies and solutions that fit with each individual client or clients.
I have been working effectively with couples in crisis or on the brink of separation or splitting up. I also understand the nuances of working with couples that have already been to therapy with little or no success. How many couple presentations include infidelity, "I love you but I'm not in love with you" and "We have been living parallel lives for years."
25 years of couples therapy experience. I co-founded the Couples On The Brink project helping couples in crisis navigate their relationship.
A specialization of mine because it provides briefer and more lasting treatment for individuals and families.
As individuals we are all part of relationship systems. I supervise and train therapists in relational approaches to therapy with individuals, couples and families
People come to therapy with real suffering and real problems. Deeply listening and understanding are essential as is being able to bring out peoples strengths, abilities and resources.
