Styling

Looking good isn’t just about fashion - it’s about how you feel when you walk into a room. Visual Therapy understands that better than anyone. Their ability to translate style into a confident, authentic presence - a personal and accessible “suit of armor” - is unmatched. Whether preparing for a major event or everyday power dressing, they ensure you offer the best version of yourself - always aligned with who you are and how you want to show up in the world.

I have worked with Jesse Garza and Visual Therapy for over 25 years, guiding me through various life stages. What sets them apart is their ability to refine, not impose, personal style—shaping each client’s best self by considering their taste, body type, and lifestyle. Their approach is rooted in quality, fit, and timelessness, never feeling rigid but always intentional. They focus on building a strong, versatile foundation with thoughtful, playful touches. It’s not about having more—it’s about having better. The experience is truly remarkable.

I have a strong sense of style and recognize the power of fashion to enhance my visibility, but I struggle to adapt my look for different occasions. As a pelvic floor reconstructive surgeon, my daily attire consists of scrubs. Outside the operating room, I want to feel like the best, most confident, and most authentic version of myself. In the early 2000s, I reached out to Jesse after reading an article about Visual Therapy. Though I initially felt apprehensive and worried that a stylist might be intimidating, I found Jesse warm, approachable, and genuinely kind during our first meeting. He thoroughly explained the process, asked about my lifestyle and style inspirations, and listened attentively to my goals. I quickly realized that Jesse and the Visual Therapy team would be an invaluable resource. The Visual Therapy team is detail-oriented, discreet, and professional. They make me look and feel fabulous. When my closet is organized and my wardrobe is lined up and refreshed, I feel inspired and simply happier.

I grew up in a home with an impeccably stylish mother. She encouraged me to build a formidable career along with a loving family, but always taught me that how I looked and presented myself mattered. I found that I simply could not do it all myself–– enter the team at Visual Therapy. The team brings positive energy, kindness, humor, attention to detail and impeccable taste to everything they do. I love how they will embrace your favorite jacket from a decade ago and match it with a current design to create a fresh look. Once a season, they push me out of my comfort zone on something, which I have to admit inevitably ends up being my absolute favorite thing to wear. I walk out of my home with confidence every day, whether it's to a formal work event, on date night or simply a weekend brunch with friends. My mother would be proud.

Jesse and his team are A Plus. I have always loved fashion but lacked the time to keep my looks fresh and chic. The team does not lower its standard of making sure you feel your best and look great in everything in your closet. I have seen them masterfully transition “blah” to beautiful, while staying true to one’s personal style and budget. I love when I try something on and Jesse says “we can do better". I also love when he throws in a few “reach” pieces that may not be my typical choice. These usually end up being the pieces I wear over and over again. Working with Visual Therapy is an investment in yourself. Look like you want and look like you mean it!

My husband and I had just closed on a new construction Chelsea apartment and were about to start a family. We had a fairly substantial budget and were starting from scratch with this new home. We wanted to create 'our' new home and new life that truly represented us. Joe listened carefully and gave us exactly what we wanted - and quite honestly exactly what we never dreamt of. The home is the perfect combination of new and antique, luxurious but approachable. We love this apartment so much that we hired him to do our house in Southampton. It’s a large home that again, we had nothing to furnish with. We gave him our budget and he met our expectations. Joe is the best and his team is wonderful.

This was not the first house my husband and I built. One key lesson we learned from our experience with building custom homes is the importance of having a team that works together seamlessly. To me, the most critical factor is the interior designer, as they truly understand how you live in the space. We were introduced to Joe through a mutual friend and were immediately drawn to his work and background in fashion and color. As art collectors, one of our top priorities in building our home was ensuring we had enough space to showcase our favorite pieces—while leaving room to grow. I consider myself not just an art collector but a curator of objects and design. Joe has a keen understanding of thoughtful curation and takes the time to get to know his clients—their tastes, what they’re comfortable living with, and how everything will come together harmoniously. Not only did Joe work beautifully with the entire team, but he also made suggestions that fundamentally changed the way we live in our home. I cannot overstate the importance of hiring a designer like Joe. He and his team worked tirelessly to deliver not just what we envisioned, but also what we never knew we needed. Needless to say, I highly recommend Visual Therapy.

When my husband and I bought our prewar apartment in Manhattan, we knew it needed a gut renovation and total modernization. How immensely lucky we are that we found Joe Lupo and Visual Therapy. Not only did Joe present solutions and ideas tailored to our preferences, he also completely managed the project and became both a trusted adviser and friend. He truly went above and beyond expectations, turning a daunting process into one that was actually fun and rewarding. Using our concept as a jumping off point, Joe had a vision right away for our apartment that he proceeded to fulfill with enthusiasm and utmost care. From designing an open kitchen with my dream island, to renovating the bathrooms to make them seem double their actual size, to installing drapery that I never would have known to include on my own, Joe elevated our space and turned it into a flawless haven. We are very grateful.

I met Joe Lupo from Visual Therapy after attempting to refresh a few rooms in our home in Southampton. He did such an amazing job that I started rethinking other rooms in the house. I explained to Joe that we were on a tight deadline as the holidays were approaching. He was so diligent and efficient that in the end, we actually completed a full remodel of my 15,000 square foot home on time! A total and complete transformation using many of my existing pieces of furniture combined with antiques and new pieces. I highly recommend Joe. Not only is he creative and talented, but he made what could be a stressful experience an absolute pleasure.

My husband and I have had our home in Bridgehampton for many years. When we first bought the house, we just did a quick fix job and hadn’t put much thought into the design. We decided it was time to step it up as our children are no longer toddlers and our lives have evolved. We made a call to Joe Lupo and he and his team took the house to the next level. There was minimal construction and the results were extraordinary. His team was completely professional and not only is he a pleasure to work with but he’s also incredibly kind. I can’t say enough wonderful things about VT Home.
