He is a Psychologist, Licensed Psychotherapist, Master Addictions Counselor, Sexologist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Explore the links below for additional details about the approaches that Dr. Picucci employs in his practice.

Authentic Process Therapy® (or Healing) has its foundation in the simplicity of being R.E.A.L.® (Resourcing Energy for Authentic Living).

Somatic Experiencing® is a method of Energy Psychology that is based in the felt senses of the body. It further evokes our innate intelligence to guide a journey toward wholeness, fulfillment and connectivity. Clients learn that somatic approaches can be an efficient process to addressing challenges, barriers, life-traumas and sex/intimacy issues.

For addictions, Dr. Picucci incorporates the Staged Model of Recovery taken from his book, The Journey toward Complete Recovery: Reclaiming our Emotional Spiritual & Sexual Wholeness.

Couples are most welcome and many ground a new coming together in therapy with the “Connectivity” section in his latest book on Energy Psychology: Ritual as Resource: Energy for Vibrant Living.
