Vicki Ruscitti, LPC, LAC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) practicing since 2015, and have experience treating trauma, grief/loss, substance abuse and misuse, low self-worth, self-doubt, and relationship stressors. Oftentimes my clients struggle with chronic overthinking and over-analyzing, ruminating about and feeling stuck in the past, and relationship stressors; they are stuck repeating patterns that have become difficult to change.

I am here to support and help my clients find a way back to a more balanced, empowered, and authentic place. I believe therapy works best when people feel understood, supported, and safe allowing them to show up authentically during our sessions together. That is why it is important for me to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to process through their experiences in order to gain insight and understanding, providing us with the direction we need to make changes. My role is to help clients explore deep rooted beliefs and narratives to create a new story that feels empowering and authentic, to tune into their bodies to feel more grounded and present, to find a balance between themselves and their relationships through boundary setting and other relational skills, and to develop a higher sense of worth and self-trust.

I utilize a variety of techniques and approaches in therapy, including CBT, Somatic interventions, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. I provide a relational, body-based, and insight-oriented approach to therapy with a strong emphasis on connection and collaboration. Though I am here to provide guidance and tools to help navigate this challenging phase of life, I am here to meet my clients where they are at no matter where that may be; we work together because through our collaboration we will be able to break patterns to find a place of clarity, balance, and authenticity.
