Waterfront Psychotherapy

Our Providers

Lisa Howe, LCSW

I am passionate about helping people find the tools that they need to move through the obstacles holding them back as well as working with those seeking personal growth.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, attachment and relationship issues.

My approach is tailored to the unique needs of each person. Together, we can identify goals and work towards building a more positive and fulfilling life. I strive to assist clients using solution-focused techniques in an open, non-judgmental environment. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and have experience working with the unique needs of Union Workers and their families.

Bertha Ramos, LCSW

As a licensed psychotherapist with over 19 years of experience, I specialize in working with children/adults providing individual, family, couples therapy by helping clients navigate difficult life transitions. I also have extensive training in mindfulness-based therapy. trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), Certified in Brainspotting, EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), and PCIT (parent, child, interactive treatment), as well as being a Brainspotting consultant.

Josette Ciolino, Psy.D

I am dedicated to the health and happiness of every singe patient. I believe that we are all susceptible to mental health problems in our lives. My goal is to help individuals, children, and families return to healthy functioning. Taking pride in providing each patient with excellent treatment, I tailor therapy to a client's specific issues and life circumstances. Viewing each individual as a part of a larger system (family, school/work, relationships), I treat the entire system in order to get at the root of the problem. Patients have often described me as "easy to open up to", "accepting", and "non-judging." My personal goal is to make each individual feel understood and supported as they courageously engage in a relationship that will help them positively achieve change in their lives. I have been certified as an expert witness and can testify as such.
