Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi, LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi brings a deeply personal and vocational commitment to helping people move out of psychological pain and toward lives they value. He emphasizes finding and addressing the underlying causes of suffering, noting that relief often requires discovering those causes within the context of a trusting therapeutic relationship. His own experience of finding a transformative relationship with a therapist informed his decision to pursue this work and shaped his professional focus.

He listens with professional curiosity and compassion, aiming to understand each person from their own perspective and to offer practical strategies that produce timely symptom relief. He seeks to avoid moral judgment and to sustain hope while guiding clients toward greater control over symptoms and toward the life they most authentically want. He emphasizes a collaborative process in which the therapeutic relationship itself becomes the vehicle for change.

While oriented in psychodynamic therapy, he integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques within a person-centered approach that places the client-therapist bond at the center of treatment. He has developed specific experience working with men, adolescent males, recent mothers and mothers with adolescent boys, mature adults of both genders, gay and lesbian issues, and transgender clients. He also has specialized training in treating trauma, depression, mood and personality concerns, substance use and co-occurring disorders, and men’s issues. He holds the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - which indicates professional training and state licensure to provide psychotherapy.
