New Yorkers are ditching therapists for psychics: ‘I just kind of gave up’
NY POST ^ | Published Oct. 9, 2023, | By Alexandra Klausner

Some New York area residents are fed up with their therapists, ditching their shrinks for psychics who give them “real” guidance instead.

Aria D’Amore, 35, an artist and model living in Jersey City, was dissatisfied with therapy for nearly 30 years, so she decided to seek guidance from an intuitive healer practicing tarot and astrology.

“I just kind of gave up on therapy after a while because I don’t find it helpful,” D’Amore told The Post.

“Therapists are in no rush to get your problems figured out,” she added. “It drags on. It’s a very long process.”

In fact, D’Amore doesn’t think therapy is ideal “for many people” due to the “cost barrier.”

Aria D’Amore says she quit therapy because she didn’t find it helpful. “Seeing a therapist every week is like a habit, like they want you to keep coming back. It’s almost like an addiction in a strange way,” she said.

D’Amore also believes therapists “are very disconnected from their patients,” especially those who chose a “more artistic life path.”

“That divide will lead to disconnect at best, judgment at worst,” she said.

Aria D'Amore said that seeing a psychic did more for her than therapy ever did.

NYC psychic Dante Sabatino, 55, who has been reading tarot cards for over 40 years, told The Post he’s seen an uptick in people seeking alternative healing during the pandemic”

“A lot of people have just been seeking out more into the unknown and more kinds of healing from different modalities, including tarot, astrology and all the other ones,” Sabatino explained.

Before finding her “own internal compass” through her psychic, D’Amore began a traditional psychotherapy journey when she was 5 after her parents divorced. As an adult, she saw several therapists but felt “frustrated” by the process.

therapy is a racket, but psychics are even more so.

War? What war. Life goes on in the Big Apple. It is the women who go to the psychics, the Ouija board and the Tarot Card readers.

“was dissatisfied with therapy for nearly 30 years”

Why didn’t the psychic contact her 30 years ago to warn her?

Maybe, but psychics are cheaper. Only $3.99 a minute!

I’ve got family members that have gone to mental health therapy long term. It’s all crap. Useless, unmitigated crap. It is a scam profession. A person is much better served by exercising, talking to family for support and reading the Bible. Much

“therapy is a racket, but psychics are even more so.”

How many have been robbed blind by Gypsy fortune tellers? And lots quicker than a shrink will.

Wait a minute, she had been going to therapists ‘for nearly 30 years’. She’s 35 years old. So, pretty much her entire life. This beats what director Woody Allen confessed to years ago, that he had been ‘in therapy’ for over 20 years.

She has a nice name, though;
Aria D’Amore, aka (?) Love is in the air!
That would be a good name for a Vacation Resort on a distant island. A resort for singles.

“why are illegal immigrants beating me in the streets?”

Therapist:”because you don’t give them all your money. Just let go.”

“Fu#@ that. Why are illegal immigrants beating me in the streets?”

Psychic:”because you didn’t buy this $936 crystal.”

“Oh, ok! Thanks!”

I’ve been consulting a psychic for many years now. Well, it’s kind of a psychic.

Heck. You be happier if you got a motorcycle and rode around. You chances of dying are lower. Psychoanalysis has massive suicide numbers. The APA doesn’t like to talk about that. Plus it makes you crazy. You need only look at Hollywood women to see how shrinks screw them up.

Then after years of pointless chatter the next step is drugs. Homicide and suicide often follow. You see therapists at your own risk.

My mother talked to those frauds for years and got more and more nuts. Then somehow she decided to pick up a Bible again. Then went back to Church. She became much calmer and started enjoying life again before she died.

I dunno. I think psychics are probably cheaper per session.

Both give you information to get you hooked and coming back for more. I encountered one child psychologist who was downright evil. Not kidding at all.

These two different songs, with the same title, were on the market at the same time in early 1962.

Fortune Teller--Bobby Curtola

Sure, so you just submit to familiar spirits instead. Turn yourself to Christ.

Yeah 240 dollars an hour is cheap at the price, right?
