Therapy for everyday life.
Welcome to Grounded Path Counseling
My name is Brian Costello, the owner of Grounded Path Counseling. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor. I have over 11 years of experience providing individual and group mental health therapy.
As a therapist, I draw from my education and training, personal journey, and holistic perspective of the human experience.
A free 15-minute consultation is offered for new prospective clients.
A Modern Approach
Being alive inevitably comes with adversity. My philosophy as a therapist is less focused on pathology and instead what people have experienced and how it has shaped them. When we begin to tell our story with a compassionate witness, we begin to understand, heal, and move forward.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, confidential, adaptable to your needs, and grounded in current and evidence-based therapies.
Above all else, therapy is about the relationship. We heal best in proximity to others. My goal is to promote a space of safety, warmth, compassion, understanding, truth-telling, and usually some laughter. In this context, our work together will unfold naturally.
