Albert Pignataro

I'm a psychotherapist committed to helping my clients learn how to reconnect, explore and develop your own innate wisdom and power. My work focuses on building up one's Empowered Freedom, and Relational Empowerment. Empowered Freedom is a term that I use to describe a state of being where you embody and live your authentic self. You are able to identify and differentiate your truest wants, needs, and desires apart from what others have told you what you should want. You are able to fulfill yourself without buying into self-defeating thoughts about how you are not good enough, or you don’t deserve fulfillment, or you’re afraid that others will think badly of you – or any other type of negative story. Relational Empowerment is is the combination of emotional and social awareness, intelligence, and skill. Relationally empowered people are those who possess the desire and aptitude to open themselves up, understand and love themselves bravely, and build stronger, more vibrant interpersonal networks. They relish these connections and derive deep joy and satisfaction from them. Being relationally empowered reveals the path to healing and well-being. Relational Empowerment is: Open Heartedness: emotional intelligence and expression. Honesty: showing your true self without fear. Deep Connection: vibrant, authentic community with our fellow men. Integrity: strength to act in alignment with core values. Joy: freedom to not take oneself overly seriously and have fun. I believe that we are, in part, the product of our history, and the lessons learned from that history influence our choices and actions. Sometimes, when we have a lot of pain in our history, we think, feel and do things that may hurt us and those around us. The awesome thing is that every day, we have a new opportunity to change our choices and actions so that we can make our lives better, healthier, and more satisfying. We often forget this wisdom; we forget that we have this power to change. If what I have said here resonates with you, please reach out to me to set up an initial consultation.
