Jerome Scaturro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the state of New Jersey, with 13 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and adolescents (ages 15–19). His clinical work focuses on treating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, men’s and women’s issues, and complex relationship dynamics. Jerome earned his Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and his Doctorate in Professional Counseling, advancing both his academic understanding and professional expertise. His therapeutic approach integrates collaborative, compassion-based, and empathy-driven frameworks with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and solution-focused strategies. Jerome is committed to deepening each client’s insight and expanding their capacity for change, tailoring treatment to meet each individual or couple where they are. At the core of Jerome’s philosophy is the belief that healing begins with a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship. His goal is to create an environment of trust and respect—one where clients can openly share vulnerabilities, emotions, and personal experiences. Through this process, Jerome helps individuals move toward healing, growth, and the pursuit of meaningful, value-driven living.
The initial introduction will concentrate on building rapport, setting therapeutic objectives, and determining the appropriate course of action.
My greatest strength as a provider is my sincere compassion and my ability to build a trusting relationship in therapy.
I do not have a 'special' clientele that I am exclusively designated to serve. I serve all clients indiscriminately. If I were to delineate my areas of expertise, they would include addiction, anxiety, depression, couples therapy, trauma-focused treatment, and life challenges, among others.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I employ this form of therapy by confronting thoughts that lead to particular behaviors and habits conditioned from childhood. We leverage this foundation to provide the client with a new realm of thinking that can motivate, inspire, and facilitate healing towards change and healthy behaviors, ultimately enhancing relationships.
Couples Counseling
Through collaborative guidance, I facilitate a constructive equilibrium whereby each individual is encouraged to observe their personal behaviors and thoughts that impact the relationship. With this secure and genuine approach, couples can restore and realign their shared purpose as a partnership.
Attachment-based
I examine some of the underlying causes of potential unhealthy attachments, which have become conditioned (subconscious) responses to early adaptive features that were learned.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Together, we explore mindfulness techniques such as movement, spiritual practices—if that aligns with one's path—present-moment reflections, and intentional journaling. These methods aim to assist individuals in addressing subconscious and unconscious thoughts that influence current people, places, and circumstances in their lives.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I examine some past and current traumas that have a direct impact on an individual's daily life, particularly in all relationship dynamics involving people, places, and objects.
