Joe Nucci
Rethink Culturally Misconstrued Ideas
Separate fact from fiction. Your mental health is dependent upon it.
If you’re like me, fast “facts” about psychology crowd your social media feeds and news outlets: 10 qualities of persons with ADHD, how to curate a mindful life, and life hacks for the neurodivergent brain.
There are real risks for not knowing what’s legitimate and what’s psychobabble. You might incorrectly self-diagnose or perpetually chase an elusive mental state.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Become the expert on your mental health. Be empowered with greater life agency.
Meet Joe Nucci
I’m a psychotherapist and writer who is an expert at breaking down how we talk about mental health – adding valuable nuance to the psychological concepts you hear on and off social media.
I create thought-provoking content that challenges culturally accepted understandings of mental health, psychology, and politics. I live virtually at @joenuccitherapy or physically in New York City.
