Lewis Pagano

When the weight of something finally becomes too much to carry alone, that’s usually when people find Lewis Pagano. He works with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma recovery to addiction, abuse, and the pressures adolescents face growing up right now. His approach is interpersonal and emotion-focused, grounded in the belief that every person already holds the resources needed to work through what’s in front of them.

Lewis brings particular depth to his work with teenagers and young adults. Having spent considerable time in public education, he understands the specific texture of adolescent life today — including how hard it can be to stay with a difficult thought or conversation when the pull to pick up a phone and escape it is constant and designed to win. That practical understanding makes him someone young clients tend to open up to.

He also has an extensive background in substance abuse and works with couples on building the kind of communication that leads to genuine intimacy. Sessions are available online, making it straightforward to begin wherever you are.
