My name is Kyle Garifo and I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor since 2001. I enjoy the process of therapy and helping individuals and couples navigate through rough waters to a brighter future. Sometimes the path that needs to be taken is different than the obvious one in front of us and I help shine the light on that different path.
In our first session together, we will spend the time exploring not only the issues that brought us together but also the why as to what made you ultimately make the decision to seek outside help. My initial job is to build up the therapeutic relationship so you feel totally at ease exploring the issues that you want to. This time is for YOU.
My strength is the ability to empathize with what you are going through and help provide you the inner perception needed to make the necessary changes to create a better future. This can be done with individuals as well as with couples. I believe that therapy doesn't always have to be so tense and anxiety provoking but rather a time to sit back, reflect and maybe even laugh a little.
Negative thoughts will always influence us in ways we do not desire which typically includes decision making and behaviors. Let's correct those thoughts so that we may be lead to better and more productive behaviors.
