John Asuncion, NY LMHC 004840

I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively with my clients. I believe deeply in the power of the therapeutic process and its capacity to facilitate meaningful change. Using a holistic and eclectic approach, I primarily draw on Client-Centered Therapy and incorporate evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), into my work.

My 18 years of experience in clinical counseling have been shaped by multicultural and trauma-informed perspectives. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings, helping them navigate a range of concerns, including trauma, depression and anxiety, identity and self-esteem, substance use and chemical dependence, crisis management, and interpersonal conflict.

I strive to create a genuine, empathic, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where you can feel safe exploring your experiences. Together, we will identify your strengths and inner resources while examining the challenges and distress you may be experiencing. My goal is to support you in strengthening your self-esteem, fostering personal development, and discovering insights and solutions that facilitate meaningful progress.

Additionally, I will help you cultivate greater self-awareness and insight through the exploration of your thoughts and feelings, develop effective strategies for navigating the challenges that bring you to counseling, and move toward greater healing, growth, and self-understanding.
