Thank. you

My name is Ralph M Ferraro. Thank you for taking the time to explore my approach to psychotherapy.

From early on in my life I was fascinated by psychology … how do people make life choices ?  What makes people chose maladaptive patterns? The question, can a person change their life from negative patterns  to positive fulfilling behavior? How can people form positive relationships?

I spent my  grammar school in a catholic school. While in grammar school I was on the School Safety patrol to help children cross the street. I

 always volunteered for the four lane road four blocks from the school to help children and parents cross a high volume roadway.. 

During my youth their were many men and women who inspired me to serve others. 

As I got older I chose the field of social work, not to give people money but to help them gain control of their life and feel fulfillment.

 I worked my. way through  graduate school for a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work degree and an Advanced certificate in Clinical Social Work. I am licensed in New York with over 46 years of experience. I have helped clients as a therapist and as a mentor. 

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, management of anger and difficult emotions. Interestingly most problem areas centered not around intellect but around difficulty dealing with emotions.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings and history can be shared without fear of judgment. 

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life. It  takes courage to explore the first steps towards change, toward growth. 

Thanks to developments in quantum psychology, I help a client understand 1) they are not a mistake,  2) they are not locked into behavior or experiences of the past 3) they can change to a more positive lifestyle. 

I am here to support & empower you in that journey. ~.

I specialize in helping  a client in the areas of  Breathing and meditation ~ nature walks and photography to help client makes changes in their life. I

I also employ techniques from Gottman about positive communication, team building vs destructive communication

 If a client is able to be open to spiritual dimension, I help them understand how to use spiritual energy (connection with the powers of the universe)
