Looking to break free from negative patterns and build a more balanced life? I’m Phil Caruso, LPC, with over 15 years of experience supporting clients in partial programs, emergency rooms, and home settings. Using CBT, DBT, and a humanistic approach, I help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, manage distress, and grow in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we’ll make the time you invest in therapy count toward reaching your full potential.
I approach therapy with a focus on you, setting clear goals and offering warmth throughout our sessions. While I prioritize establishing a strong connection, my goal-oriented nature means I may challenge you when necessary. I'm transparent in explaining the rationale behind my methods & readily address any questions or concerns you may have along the way.
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 what drives me the most.

My biggest strengths include helping clients overcome depression, anxiety, OCD, binge-eating disorder, issues with time management and procrastination, phobias and learning to more effectively adjust to challenging life circumstances. I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of experience helping teens and adults with developmental disabilities and this is also a passion of mine.
