    Paul DePinto, LPC

    Licensed Professional Counselor

    Personal Statement

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Wayne NJ“Many of my clients come to therapy anxious or reluctant about being in treatment. I take pride in being able to make the experience comfortable for them. Even though we are discussing serious issues, we have moments of fun and laughter. It is my enthusiasm and sense of humor that helps put clients at ease and enables them to get the most out of therapy. Their trust means the world to me, it is what gives me a chance to help them and their families.”
