Frank Palmieri has accumulated a wealth of experience in the almost thirty years he has been a clinician.  He has provided services in a variety of mental health and chemical dependency settings, and has served as an educator and consultant to schools, agencies, court systems, and private industry. Frank provides outpatient counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families.

Frank was raised in northern New Jersey, and received a Bachelor of Education Degree from Seton Hall University in 1970.  After service as an infantry officer, he returned to New Jersey where he was employed in the construction and restaurant industries, and as a mental health aide and counselor, while attending graduate school; first at Seton Hall, and then at Rutgers University, where he was awarded a Master of Social Work Degree in 1982.  This broad range of employment and life experiences has provided Frank with a “real world” view of the problems, concerns and issues facing his patients.  Frank continued his professional career as a program director, executive director, and consultant in chemical dependency and mental health centers in New Jersey and Maryland, and moved to Florida in 1991. He directed psychiatric and chemical dependency programs in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, and was part of a large psychiatric practice before entering solo private practice in 2001.
