Outstanding!!! Helped me big time!
Dr. Pedoto is one of the most compassionate and friendly guys you will ever meet. I started seeing him due to a tragic death that really effected me deeply. Dr. Pedoto helped me tremendously through this terrible time and continued to help me for two more years through other life issues that we all experience such as marital issues, sick family members and work stress. I can not say enough good things about this fine man. I spent my whole life thinking reaching out for help was weakness and bottled everything up. Please do not think like me and take the steps to make your life better. You will find success with Dr P.

Review of Dr. Pedoto
I highly recommend Dr. Pedoto for anyone dealing with life challenges or looking to further grow their mindset to overcome negative thoughts and behaviors. His approach is not a typical one directional session of just listening to you. He is very engaging and makes you think about the item at hand and then confirms that you understand. He provides practical tools and techniques that can be used in your daily life to make the changes you desire in your thinking and behavior. Our sessions have always been impactful and rewarding.

Dr. Pedoto gave me my first psychotherapy session ever, in a moment of great need. On that first visit he gave me the tools and the practical advice I needed to deal with my emotional and phycological problems. I was amazed on how understanding the root cause of my problems could help me heal and be prepared for my everyday life. He was very understanding and compassionate. I truly recommend his help, it will benefit you know and in the future whenever you need it.

My interaction with Dr. Pedoto was brief, but I felt that he was a great therapist. His approach to CBT was refreshing and different to what I have experienced with other therapists. He also recommended a great book that helped me along the way. I would recommend him to friends and family.

I came to Dr. Pedoto in midlife after some bad experiences in therapy as a young adult. I was suffering from depression, anxiety, rage issues, and had just lost my mother and gained a baby boy. He completely changed my life and made me a better person in every aspect of my life. I am forever grateful for my time with this incredible man.

Dr. Pedoto listens to you and thinks outside the box. The many practitioners I saw before him offered hasty diagnoses, even though they didn't quite fit my circumstances. Dr. Pedoto doesn't look for the easy answer, he finds the right one.

Dr. Pedoto provides compassionate care combined with a goals centered approach to treatment. He has the ability to walk a client thru the issues and diagnosis at hand for better self understanding, while helping you build practical resources for mental health management, personal accountability and wellness self advocacy. He is a great listener and his "suggestions" often prove right on the money! Highly recommended.

From my first visit with Dr Pedoto, I knew I was in good hands. I knew after the first session that there was no reason to shop around for another therapist. I was comfortable. I felt the connection. I felt safe. Dr Pedoto understands. He cares. He gives you his complete undivided attention and helps you to help yourself. He listens very carefully, then, he explains why your emotions are getting the best of you and most importantly, he explains how to get ahold of those emotions. You leave his office feeling refreshed. You feel hope for a better future. This can only come from a professional doctor with experience. Dr Pedoto is a fine doctor and a caring human being. You can not ask for a better combination.

Dr. Pedoto was helpful in allowing me to realize that I could overcome my daily anxieties instead of just putting up with them. Our meetings led to me having a more positive outlook when things did not go as planned in my life. He taught me exercises and methods of suppressing my anxieties that worked really well. Overall, he was very genuine and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him to anyone who may feel stuck in their heads and who deals with anxiety.

Dr. Pedoto is superb. He gave me therapy and enabled me to move through several life-changing events - one very traumatic - and I came out stronger and I also learned so much from him. He educated me with information, articles, books to read and was very clear. Very professional and his REBT approach is the best - I recommended him to my close friend when she needed some help. She is also his client now.

Anxiety attacks can be frightening when they occur suddenly and repeatedly. Now imagine treating this problem so that you can lead a peaceful and productive life. Dr. Joe Pedoto did just that! He helped me overcome the attacks as well as address other issues I was experiencing. I say he’s a lifesaver but he just says that I am following his treatment plan. Dr. Pedoto is very clear and honest. I would recommend him to family, friends, or anyone looking to resolve difficulties in their life.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Pedoto. His advice and guidance has been extremely helpful. I have not previously had any experience with another therapist and was pleased to find that I found a therapist I liked and got along well with without having to try many others to find the right fit. I have seen him for a few years now and have been really happy with the experience.
