Meet the Owner, Adam Ciccio

Adam Ciccio was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He was raised in Savannah, Georgia, and attended high school at St. Andrew’s School on Wilmington Island, GA. Ciccio graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH) in 2006 and with a Master of Science in Psychological Counseling at Salem State University (Salem, MA) in 2012. He owns several outpatient mental health practices for adolescents and adults in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the same town which he currently resides. Ciccio’s treatment model focuses on evidence-based practices that are tailored to the stage of emotional development the client is in. It combines aspects of both CBT and developmental psychology, geared towards educating around faulty thinking and fixing behavioral reinforcement of negative schemas.

Ciccio is the author of several picture books that focus on developmental growth and self-confidence during early childhood. Those books include: Anxious Andy, Macie's Mirror, The Boy in the Orange Cape, A Beary Rainy Day, Maybe I'll Be, Climb a Giraffe, Go Out and Play, and more. Additionally he has authored a developmental picture book series called “Healthy Minds.”

Ciccio is also a part-time graduate professor at Merrimack College.
