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. ~. Some of my specialies are 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, and 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)

Do you feel lost in a situation? Struggling to have satisfying relationships? At the cross roads and do not know which way to turn? Ever wake up with the mood "why bother" and go back to sleep? Are you finding yourself taken advantage of, often? Do you find it a challenge to move on from old trauma? Are your thoughts racing so quickly making it impossible to get things done? Do you avoid situations because anxiety impacts you physically? Life changes can feel overwhelming, it helps to have an objective confidant to vent to and sometimes to hear constructive feedback.
