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.

Counseling can be scary, we often fear what we don’t know and understand, we fight against vulnerability, and working toward change of any kind is difficult.
