Hi, I’m Joann Perrone, Director of Heart to Heart Therapy.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and attended Queens College and Fordham University, receiving my post-masters certification from New York University while also obtaining advanced Emotionally Focused Therapy training to help support individuals and couples with developing healthy relationships.
I always wanted to be a therapist and I always wanted to be a teacher. These seemingly dissimilar career paths actually meet the same goal: reaching into the core of a person and affecting them in a positive way forever.
My journey began in the classroom working with children. It’s where I learned the incredible human capacity for resilience, curiosity, and perseverance. To this day, my students inspire me and it was with them in mind that I pursued advanced training in holistic health, meaning treatment of the mind and body. Like teaching, psychotherapy facilitates self-assessment and collaborative growth.
Our primary modality at Heart to Heart Therapy is Emotionally Focused Therapy because it emphasizes the dance that we do with each other. This is where major transition and breakthroughs happen, both individually and with those who come in with a partner. It’s where the magic lives, and I love seeing magic happen in session with clients.
