Andrew Nocita
I take a holistic perspective with my clients to address the health of body, mind, and spirit. I believe that a solid therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is a crucial part of the healing process, and that techniques and therapy approaches must “fit” the client in order to be effective—there is no “one size fits all” therapy.
My goal, as a counselor and therapist, is to deeply understand my client, and when this happens we are able to identify areas of life that need to be changed, and ways of going about doing that.

First session
In the first session, we will get to know each other. I will explore your past with you to identify experiences that had lasting effects. We will also identify your strengths, talents, and coping skills. I will ask you to choose areas of your life that you wish to investigate and learn more about to promote lasting positive change.
Strengths
I work very hard to understand another person, in all your uniqueness. In some ways, people are the same, but we are all different, with areas of strength and weakness. I will share my observations and hypotheses about you to see if they feel accurate to you.
Ideal clients
I work best with people who are serious about changing something in their lives, willing to explore deeply, open to feedback, and able to maintain consistent contact.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Deeply buried beliefs can affect our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help identify these beliefs and challenge them, leading to positive growth and more effective behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are four skills taught in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This approach can be very helpful for improving relationships, as well as for depression and other mood disorders.
