Therapist in Princeton Junction, New Jersey,
Guy Zappulla, LAC

Education/Experience: I received my Masters of Science in Counseling & Clinical Mental Health from The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, with a focus on integrating a holistic model of health and wellness into proven counseling techniques using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with a diverse set of clients in different settings, including traditional outpatient, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and residential programs.

Clinical Approach: My approach to each client is based first on respect and empathy, no matter the issue. I believe strongly that the role of the therapist is not to push or insist on changes, but to use the client’s own experiences and goals to formulate solutions that work specifically for the client. My techniques are based on Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which analyzes our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, in order to move us towards our goals in a measurable way.

Personal Things/Hobbies: When not working, I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, whether it be camping, walking on trails, or taking our dog for some social time at the dog park. I believe being connected to nature helps quiet our minds and focus on ourselves, allowing for a nice break from screens and social media. I am also a big New York sports fan, still taking the long drive out to Queens a few times a year to see my favorite New York Mets.
