Philip Valentinetti

You can only talk about what you're aware of. My goal is to help you increase awareness of yourself, unresolved experiences, and habitual patterns that get in your way and keep you feeling the way you do. I integrate Gestalt Therapy, EMDR, and somatic approaches to help move issues that may be resistant to traditional talk therapy.

Discover the blocks that are getting in your way. By taking a look at these obstacles, and understanding where they come from, we'll empower you to move past them to live as your authentic self with purpose and meaning.

Clients describe me as compassionate and validating. I offer experiential learning and specific skills training to help you achieve your goals.

My clients often fear disappointing others, leading to paralyzing worry about making the "right" choice. I specialize in treating anxiety, conflict avoidance, people pleasing, and difficulty expressing what you want; as well as LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, grief, and thoughts of suicide.

Being of service to others has been a throughline of my professional careers in restaurant management, yoga teaching, massage therapy, and now counseling. I leverage my eclectic professional experience to help you learn and grow in real time.
