Professional statement

Anthony Ligato is a counselor that seeks to bring an integrative approach to the healing and recovery that clients are seeking. Through a practice that embodies not only professional, and education knowledge, but a vast array of life experience, Anthony seeks to bring an atmosphere of understanding, clarity, and empathy into the room for every single client. Anthony has worked with a wide population of clientele that has continued to provide a growing understanding of all of the things that go into making you you. The population Anthony has served ranges from Men & Women seeking treatment for alcohol and drug addiction within the walls of inpatient centers, to children suffering from the impacts of anxiety and emotional dysregulation. Anthony has also spent a number of years working in private practice and aiding those seeking help from issues such as depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, sexual addiction, and many other issues that can and do bring a great deal of suffering into ones life.

Anthony looks to create a balance of understanding and trust within the therapeutic relationship that will walk shoulder to shoulder with the client. Anthony is a clinician who is trained and integrates methods ranging from Psychodramatic chair work, to Cognitive behavioral therapies. Not to leave out the many methods and techniques in between, but the most important thing to realize is that the approach and path to healing is based off of how the suffering of client is being presented.

Currently, I am available for all those seeking remote sessions, or in person for those in the Cape/Atlantic County areas of New Jersey working out of Island Therapy of Somers Point, NJ.


Message to clients

First and foremost, hello and welcome. I want you to know that I am here to help and I am confident in my ability to do so. Many times the most courageous act one can make is also the hardest one. What I have seen is that the first phone call or message reaching out for help is often the hardest step you will have to take. I am here to let you know once you make that call, my job is to walk shoulder to shoulder with you on the path to healing. My joy is to be able to help and it is an honor whenever someone reaches out and allows me to become a part of their life. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have, and I will be happy to help in any way that I can. Thank You.
