Ana Maria Storino

I love what I do. And I’ve been doing it a long time, over 20 years. If you’re seeking growth, growth will be inevitable. I enjoy the thrill of witnessing my clients recognize their potential and take charge of their lives, perhaps for the very first time. When your life improves, I am deeply moved, and thankful.

You’ll come as you are: hurt, depressed, addicted, sad, suicidal, anxious. From moment one, I will offer you unconditional acceptance. In time, you will come to accept yourself. And, because I am a practical person, your therapy will have a beginning, a middle, and an end, so you can get on with the pleasure of creating a wonderful life. I promise to be an unwavering ally along the way.

what to expect

A simple process gets you there. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is direct. It’s action-oriented and results-driven. You’ll be an active participant in your therapy process. I’ll bring out paper and pen and, together, we’ll make a list of all of your irrational “should”, “must”, and “ought to” thinking processes that have resulted in less-than-optimal living. We’ll bring them to light and analyze them, even dispute them, in great detail.

You’ll see what you’ve actually been doing with your ways of thinking. I’ll teach you how to transform your irrational thoughts and replace them with thoughts that will leave you feeling energized and in control. Then, you’ll embark upon right action and be partnered with a positive internal dialog that will get you where you want to be. You’ll discover the power of how and what you think works to create positive life experiences. All along the way, you’ll be using your new tools to manifest your best life.
