Genardo Mental Health Counseling is a compassionate and client-centered mental health practice guiding individuals experiencing mental illnesses toward their emotional well-being. The firm eases the journey by prescribing personalized therapies that equip them with skills to redirect ruminations and repressed emotions to overcome PTSD, anxiety, and OCD. This individualized approach ensures that its modalities have an 85 percent success rate. It also takes proactive steps to streamline insurance claims processing, alleviating financial barriers and allowing clients to devote themselves to recovery.
“We strongly advocate on clients’ behalf with insurance companies to ensure mental health expenses are reimbursed,” says John Genardo, owner of Genardo Mental Health Counseling P.C and a licensed clinical mental health counselor.
Apart from easing financial burdens, its personalized treatments significantly lower the clients’ probability of relapse. Genardo Mental Health’s practice is primarily rooted in the broader framework of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT). These specializations enable it to recommend treatments and tools that target the clients’ mental illnesses caused by distinctive top-down or bottom-up responses between the three cortexes of the human brain.
For instance, CBT helps reduce an individual’s presentation of anxiety symptoms.
The therapy tackles negative thoughts from the neomammalian cortex that influence emotional responses mediated by the amygdala and effective instinctual reactions in the reptilian brain. The firm has also successfully treated OCD patients with exposure therapy and CBT, the combined interventions used to cure disorders caused by simultaneous top-down and bottom-up responses.
Genardo Mental Health’s industry reputation is further bolstered by two other licensed therapists, Miguel Martinez and Crystal Moore. Highly experienced in cognitive psychotherapy and accelerated resolution therapy (ART), their cumulative expertise has proven crucial while treating clients using facets of CBT.
John Genardo’s conviction to continuously upskill and effectively treat clients who walk through its doors also contributes to the firm’s high success rate. He highlights this point through various case studies.

A woman approached Genardo Mental Health seeking respite from severe anxiety affecting her daily life. The firm initiated the conversation through questions that determined the cause of her mental condition—lack of spousal support. To ensure the client’s complete recovery, the licensed clinical mental health counselor underwent specialized training to treat anxiety. This enabled John Genardo to efficiently impart her required skills to regulate the disorder’s immediate symptoms. Subsequently, long-term therapy was prescribed, entailing the exploration and overcoming of automatic negative thoughts (ANT) that influenced her core beliefs. These therapy sessions also improved the client’s relationship dynamics with her spouse. John Genardo similarly expanded his skillset to treat those suffering from trauma, personality disorders, depression and other mental illnesses.
John Genardo’s tireless commitment to ensure high success rates of prescribed modalities have led to an influx of people across Oneonta and NY seeking assistance from the firm to achieve mental well-being. In response, Genardo Mental Health aspires to expand its services and hire qualified clinicians to accommodate the growing list of clientele. These factors underpin the firm’s rising prestige in the mental health sector.
