Michael Ianello, LPC

Rediscover your core identity and commit to the process of becoming your true self through the development of mindful, confident awareness.

I work with adults to develop awareness and acceptance in times of psychological, relational, and existential difficulty.

Anxiety and depression can often create a feeling like we’re trapped in our own lives. By combining evidence-based therapeutic interventions with depth focused analytical practices, I provide clients with a renewed perspective on life . Let me help you take advantage of your own unique capacity for change so that you might finally become more fully and completely who you already are.

My core influences include existentialism, humanism, analytical psychology, acceptance and commitment therapy, zen, postmodernism, transcendentalism and constructivist theory.

Finding Patterns, Allowing Process

Through empathy and compassion everyone can forge their own path toward building and sustaining improved mental health.

I work with clients to assist in the identification of patterns in their lives which may be contributing to discontent, avoidance behaviors, ruminative thinking, troubled sleep, interpersonal conflict, or negative self-talk. Once these patterns are identified, client and counselor collaborate to define and deepen the individual’s core systems —attachment, values, relationships, professional expectations/goals, etc.

When the therapeutic relationship is comfortable and safe, the work of processing these systems begins in earnest. The goal then is to facilitate greater understanding, awareness, and self-compassion in the individual or relational system so as to reduce suffering and enhance one’s connection with the present moment. Presence, awareness, and finally, acceptance are the rhythms of the therapeutic practice.

Deeply connect with yourself and your loved ones through evidence based therapeutic methodologies tailor fit to your own unique values and needs.
