About Leonardo Custidiano

Leonardo Custidiano is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) who brings hands-on experience from a variety of counseling settings to his work with individuals and families. He has worked in a residential program that provided housing and support for adults living with mental illness and addiction, and he has offered family counseling to parents and teenagers managing behavioral challenges. Currently, he provides family counseling and prevention services for families involved with the Department of Children & Families, giving him direct experience with issues such as domestic violence, trauma, parenting, life transitions, addictions, and coping with mental illness.

His clinical style is eclectic and integrative, shaped by his education, training, and practical experience. He adapts methods to match each person or family's needs - using cognitive behavioral techniques when immediate symptom relief is needed, and turning to psychodynamic ideas when it is important to explore underlying patterns and root causes. Core elements run throughout his work: a strong focus on the helping relationship, attention to present-day concerns alongside relevant personal history, and clear goal setting to guide progress.

Leonardo draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to support clients through change and recovery. He emphasizes practical strategies for coping in the short term while also addressing longer standing patterns that affect daily life and relationships. The result is an approach that aims to be flexible, collaborative, and focused on measurable steps toward the client’s goals.
