Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
I am a Licensed Psychologist specializing in treating addiction, with a strong background in inpatient and outpatient recovery settings. Together, we understand how mental health challenges and addiction are often interconnected, with substance use frequently serving as a way to cope with emotional pain. Many people find recovery difficult when underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD and ADHD remain untreated. I work with you to address those issues and strengthen sobriety skills. I support individuals seeking outpatient services to establish or maintain a healthier relationship to substances and those transitioning from residential treatment or intensive outpatient programs. Whether your goal is abstinence or harm reduction, I provide evidence-based support to help you gain and maintain recovery, prevent relapse, and build a meaningful life in sobriety. I work with you to understand the patterns driving substance use and to change behaviors that no longer serve you.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
