Jonathan Schettino, Ph.D.
President & Licensed Psychologist

Picture
​Dr. Schettino is a licensed psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders, OCD, major depressive disorder, and PTSD.  He identifies as a scientist-practitioner and endeavors to align his therapeutic practice with the latest psychological science.  In addition to CBT, he often incorporates elements of other empirically sound behavioral treatments (e.g., Acceptance-Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy) into his therapeutic approach in order to provide his clients with as many evidence-based tools as possible to achieve their goals.  Dr. Schettino completed his psychology training at Princeton University (B.A. - 2004), Saint Elizabeths Hospital (pre-doctoral internship - 2012), UCLA (Ph.D. - 2012), and Freie Universität Berlin (post-doctoral fellowship - 2013).  His professional career experience includes serving as a staff psychologist at the Towson University Counseling Center and the Johns Hopkins University Employee/Student Assistance Program.  He is currently a full member of the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT).  Because of Dr. Schettino’s professional experience working at several universities and medical institutions both here in the United States and abroad, he is particularly familiar with the unique therapeutic needs and challenges of college students, graduate students, expats, researchers, professors, higher education professionals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

In addition to his work as a cognitive behavioral therapist, Dr. Schettino specializes in evidence-based psychological assessments for the workplace.  He is an active member of the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) and currently serves as the senior workplace violence threat assessment psychologist for Johns Hopkins University and Health System.  

Outside of his psychology practice, Dr. Schettino’s personal interests include traveling, spending time outdoors, playing tennis, gardening, cooking, science-fiction, history, pub trivia, rooting for the San Francisco 49ers (he’s a child of the 80’s), and staying involved in local issues affecting Baltimore.
