Testimonials
"I would recommend him to anyone and everyone."
"“I have been a client of Edward's for about 5 years. He has been so helpful to me and my well-being. He is patient and always knows how to calm me down and get me through tough times with resources and tools. I recommend him to anyone and everyone.”"
"I have grown emotionally with his guidance."
“I've been with Edward since 6/2/23. I have grown emotionally with his guidance. I really appreciate his calm demeanor and his knack for explaining things in layman's terms for me, which really helps me understand my issues better and to be able to get a more of a direct plan of action as well as for resolution of my issues. Honestly, I would not be where I am today without his help and direction, and I know I have a way to go, but I am confident I will reach my mental happy place with him. Thank you, Edward, for your patience and dedication.”
"...exponentially more effective than the last few counselors."
“I would highly recommend Dr. Edward Modestino to anyone who is looking for counseling services. I have only been seeing him for a couple of weeks and have found his sessions to be exponentially more effective than the last few counselors I have had. He has been very knowledgeable in communication, relationship struggles, ADHD, and certain personality disorders that have been the focus of my sessions. I look forward to working with him more and would highly suggest anyone who is seeking counseling reach out.”
"...real tools that I can apply in situations on a daily basis."
“During a traumatic period in my life, I was fortunate to find Dr. Modestino. Having worked with other mental health practitioners throughout my life, Dr. Modestino was the first therapist to successfully guide me through Cognitive Behavioral therapy in a way that had rapid and lasting results. My work with Dr. Modestino has provided me with real tools that I can apply in situations on a daily basis. I appreciate our rapport, and I appreciate having a therapist I can reach when needed.”
“...I got super lucky finding such a highly qualified, trustworthy, and insightful practitioner…”
“I just want to send a few lines to express my appreciation for Dr. Modestino and how helpful he has been for me in our sessions over the last five years. I feel like I got super lucky finding such a highly qualified, trustworthy, and insightful practitioner when I needed someone most. I cannot say enough about how helpful he has been in giving me the right tools to grow stronger. He has helped me build a better internal foundation, a bridge across an incredibly challenging time. I will always be grateful, and he has my highest recommendation.”
“I highly recommend him to anyone recovering from abuse or trauma and trying to reconnect with themselves.”
“I am extremely grateful for my work with Dr. Modestino. He has an exceptional understanding of narcissistic abuse and its long-term effects, including its symptoms that can manifest as ADHD, anxiety, and self-doubt. His insight and experience in these areas are far beyond those of other therapists I have worked with. His direct, evidence-based approach provided me with both a solid understanding and a safe space needed to lower my guard and do deep healing work. He has helped me rebuild self-trust, confidence, and regain my footing in life. I highly recommend him to anyone recovering from abuse or trauma and trying to reconnect with themselves.”
“I highly recommend Dr. Modestino to anyone who needs help coping with life’s challenges.”
“I have been working with Dr. Modestino since 2023, and my experience has been incredibly positive. He is very compassionate and provides the right balance between listening carefully and offering practical coping tools. From the beginning, he created a safe and non-judgmental space while still sharing helpful insights and strategies that I could apply in my daily life. Dr. Modestino consistently shows empathy, and his scheduling and communication are always professional and timely. I started noticing a significant improvement in how I manage stress and cope with difficult situations within just a few months of working with him. On a more personal level, Dr. Modestino has made a huge difference in my life. He supported me while I was in a toxic and abusive environment and helped guide me through my divorce, moving out, and starting a new chapter of my life. I truly don’t think I could have navigated that period without his professional support. Thanks to his guidance, I am now in a much better place. I highly recommend Dr. Modestino to anyone who needs help coping with life’s challenges.”
“Ed has the experience to know how to deal with people who have been harmed by others and who have suffered trauma.”
“We were very happy that we found Ed for our successful couples therapy. Our first therapist did not work out. What makes Ed different is that he treats you as an equal and with respect. You can tell that he cares, and that makes a difference. Ed has the experience to know how to deal with people who have been harmed by others and who have suffered trauma. It’s difficult to trust anyone and to form a healthy relationship after going through such events. Ed understands this. He’s highly intelligent and talented. The fact that he chooses to use his abilities to help people, when he could do anything he wanted, speaks volumes.”
“Thanks to Ed, my wife and I have grown as partners and individuals.”

Couple
Husband:
“My wife and I have been in therapy with Ed for over 4 years. He has been a great help with navigating the ups and downs of our marriage. He has provided tools to use that help get us through the difficult times. He has provided encouragement and laughter to break through tough walls. He has also encouraged us to keep communicating and connecting during both the good and bad swings in life. Thanks to Ed, my wife and I have grown as partners and individuals.”
Wife:
“My husband and I have been seeing Ed for the past few years. In the beginning, I was a little nervous about seeing a male therapist, but I had no reason to be. Ed is fair, funny, and has helped us tremendously. He keeps us accountable and genuinely cares about his patients. We have a much stronger marriage, and part of this is due to Ed and the knowledge and wisdom he provides.”
“Would highly recommend him.”
“Been working with Ed for 5 years and have had a very positive experience. I had worked with many therapists before who never challenged me or gave me practical steps/practices to get better. Ed has done both, and my mental health has definitely improved. I am also impressed with Ed's knowledge about the science of the brain. He is good at explaining how his specific recommendations can make improvements (which goes a long way). Would highly recommend him.”
