Meet Jeff Percacciante, LCSW-C (he/him)

---

Our culture is inundated with body shaming narratives, impossible standards and an ever moving target around body satisfaction. While Jeff sees clients of all genders around body dysmorphia and shame, he holds special space for gay men, who often long to heal the wounds of childhood invisibility by chasing idealized body standards. Jeff utilizes a compassionate, trauma and attachment based lens to bring breath and space to the tough narrative around body image. 

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is hard. A proud “ADHDer” himself, Jeff utilizes an empathetic, person centered approach to helping clients navigate the difficult waters of ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity. Utilizing a psychoeducational approach, Jeff assists in all steps of the process, from initial screening and diagnosis, potential psychiatric referral, assessment of executive functioning, and thoughtful coaching around supportive skills. Jeff also specializes working compassionately with those diagnosed late in life, who carry significant, self limiting narratives around rejection, laziness, unmet potential and internalized shame. 

As the saying goes, movement is medicine. Jeff specializes in helping people find their moving potential. Whether it be dance, weightlifting, yoga, running, somatic experiences, etc., Jeff helps clients tackle limiting narratives around movement and develop the curiosity to move comfortably into the body. Jeff maintains contacts and relationships with local, queer friendly movement spaces to facilitate a warm hand off and safety. 

Jeff has extensive experience working with individuals around the ever complicated terrain of love, sex and relationships. He also works with couples and polycules, utilizing an attachment and trauma related approach. He prides himself on “getting in there” with a couple to improve relationship communication, decrease conflicts and help partners meet each others needs. Jeff also has dedicated experience working with intimate partner betrayal and relational healing.  For relationships struggling with intimate partner betrayal or infidelity, Jeff works with betraying and betrayed partners, as well as the relationship itself, to help restore trust, intimacy and relational health.
