We live in an extraordinary stressful time. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or lonely? Maybe you face issues of love and relationship, career and money, health and happiness, or bereavement and loss. Perhaps you are simply sick of repeating the same self-defeating patterns. Whatever the case, we can figure it out together. I will guide you in the journey of self-inquiry that will lead to creating something beautiful and extraordinary in your life no matter the circumstance. Life will take on new meaning and purpose as you begin to explore and discover and love who you are.

In my practice I see clients of all ages, for therapy and testing/evaluations. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/dependence, behavior disorders and family systems issues. Most of my clients present with a combination of symptoms. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of the client and use research proven techniques to meet the needs of the individual, or family, in a collaborative setting. I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

I bring an honest and authentic intention to work with you as a unique, whole person; one that is not defined by a label or diagnosis. I enjoy partnering with clients who are curious and open to working on improving stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues (romantic, family or work) and/or are searching for fulfillment, hope and answers to all the 'why's. Our environment will be warm, empathetic and judgement-free to explore your experiences and, if you are up to it, discuss previous trauma(s). We will collaborate on goals and the path to get you where you want to go.

I am dedicated to fostering positive change and empowering individuals facing life's challenges. As a compassionate professional, my focus is on supporting clients grappling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. In our collaborative journey, we will navigate the complexities of your emotions and thoughts, working towards holistic well-being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques, providing a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Together, we'll uncover personalized strategies to enhance your mental health, cultivate resilience, and build fulfilling connections.

Trauma & difficult life issues can spin your life out of control. Have you been cheated on? Does this betrayal feel as if you've experienced a death? Or have you actually experienced the death of a loved one? Are you trying to make sense of what's happened? Or has your worst nightmare come true? You were sexually assaulted and just can't pretend any longer how much pain you're in? Or as a couple have you reached a breaking point. The relationship just isn't working? Or are you feeling hopeless and want to give up on life? Are stress or edginess causing you sleeplessness and lack of focus. Your life has turned upside down.

My clients are adults who are struggling with different mental health issues and looking for relief and support. Specific issues relate to anxiety, depression, men's issues, general stress management, family/relationship issues, and sexual issues. My clients want a therapist that is warm and compassionate, yet also direct and willing to talk about the difficult areas of life so that they can face life stressors head-on and create positive change.

Is your stress level through the roof? Do you feel exhausted, but yet you can’t sleep? Overwhelmed with worry or frustration? Are your relationships on edge? Or do you feel "stuck"? It's easy to lose your focus, your joy and your presence when you are inundated with stress and overwhelming emotion. I work with clients wanting to move beyond emotional pain from their past. By doing this, we improve relationships, increase self-esteem, and build resilience.

My name is Bruno Lepore, MA, LPCS. I am a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Mediator, and a Certified Critical Incident Debriefing facilitator. I am trained to use a variety of compassionate and empirically validated interventions, including EMDR, Internal Family System, hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance commitment therapy. These modalities are proven to help patients cope with a variety of problems and crises. My approach to treatment is collaborative, solution-oriented, and interactive.

Sometimes personal resources are lacking when unexpected or painful experiences occur, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and isolated by what has happened. We struggle to make sense of these experiences and can feel wounded by them. Psychotherapy tends to emotional wounds so they can fully heal, providing time and space to express thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment that offers understanding, compassion, and hope. My approach to therapy is collaborative, a partnership between counselor and client. My goal is to help you meet the world with kindness and curiosity, to discover personal strengths that will move you forward.

Due to your demanding lifestyle and taking care of others, you have inadvertently forgotten to take care of yourself and the people whom you value the most. I believe attending therapy will help you refocus and prioritize what will be most fulfilling – in your day-to-day life. Whether individual therapy or couples or family counseling, I would like the opportunity to work with you and discern what changes you want to make moving forward and generate an action plan to live out those goals.
