Hey, my name is Phil Caruso. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor that’s been in the field of psychotherapy for over 18 years. My journey helping others has brought me to a variety of settings that include partial programs, emergency rooms, and the homes of the clients I’ve served. My training experience is heavily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and I project this through the lens of Humanistic Counseling. This means that I’ll help you identify negative thought patterns and better tolerate distress, all while ensuring I’m being genuine, supportive and never judgmental. Throughout our days - regardless of our responsibilities - we take time out to meet the needs of others. When you seek out counseling, you’re setting time aside to be able to reach your full potential.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

After we’ve collected the important demographic and background info about what brings you to the session, I’ll explain my approach in greater detail and get to know you better so that we can take that first step in bringing you relief - together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

After nearly two decades of experience, I believe I've honed the ability to create and foster a warm environment in which my clients feel welcomed and safe. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I've adapted this approach for virtual sessions and after over 4 years of working exclusively in telehealth, I'm confident my clients will get just as much value out of our sessions as they would if we were meeting in-person. I’ve always been fascinated by the mind and how it can help us overcome immensely challenging situations on one hand, and get in the way of us achieving our goals on the other. Helping clients begin to see how much change is possible through small shifts in perspective is my greatest strength.
