Meet Stephen Terzuoli, LCSW
Stephen is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who works with couples, individuals and teens on relationships, anxiety and grief.
His approach is simple: make it safe to say what you need without fear, shame or guilt, then set clear goals and work toward them. He draws on cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and family and marital therapy.
Stephen is Lara’s husband, and the two of them co-lead couples sessions at Clear Cut Coach. His office is in the same Pleasantville building, and he sees clients in person or online.
For individual therapy you see Lara, every session. For couples, you see both of us, every session.
