Joseph Perroni , LMFT

Joseph Perroni is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience who brings an existential-humanistic outlook to his work. He creates an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where individuals and couples can be heard and understood, prioritizing connection over labeling or pathologizing. His practice emphasizes an integrated mind, body, and spiritual approach intended to address the underlying causes of pain and discomfort rather than focusing only on symptoms.

Working from a strengths-based perspective, he helps clients explore and expand the resources they already possess so they can pursue greater happiness and personal growth. He blends practical therapeutic strategies with opportunities for meaning-making, aiming to help people create purpose and relevance in their lives while transforming into the person they were meant to be.

Joseph draws on a range of clinical approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, the Gottman Method, and solution-focused therapy to tailor treatment to each person or couple. Outside of therapy, he has extensive experience as a world-class bodybuilder and personal trainer for 30 years, is a published author, and is the host and producer of the Rise Above Project. Those life and professional experiences inform his commitment to helping others pursue resilience, self-understanding, and lasting change.
