Dr. Occhipinti remembered my history and past discussions, despite going nearly a year between sessions. She also does a great job of restating my issues and enabling me to see things in a different light. As someone in their 50’s, I appreciate having a therapist with some life experience. And I’ll add that she is very responsive to messages through the BetterHelp app.

Working with Dr. Occhipinti for about 9 months and it’s been so helpful to my personal growth and strength. She is a great advocate, listens, asks thought provoking questions, challenges me as I work through marital and family issues. It’s been great to have a place to process and work though hard things outside of the family dynamic.

Attentive, warm, and professional - Dr. Occhipinti has helped me through rough stages in life. She listens and empathizes with me but most of all - gives me tools to help me regulate my emotions. Really can’t thank her enough for her professional guidance and her support.

Dr. Occhipiniti is a great listener. She is easy to connect to and allows a personal feel to the relationship. I believe this is due to her ability to Re center back to God for a deeper growth.
