Anthony Mastroianni

Anthony Mastroianni is a clinical social worker practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of post-master’s experience. His professional training began at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute where he concentrated on therapeutic approaches for substance dependence and mood disorders.

Following that early work, he developed a focus on family therapy and interventions for highly conflicted couples, including treatment for individuals who use aggression or violence in relationships. He is skilled in both individual and group psychotherapies and draws from psychodynamic, cognitive-based, dialectical, and relaxation-meditative methods to support increased mindfulness.

He has lived and worked in rural, urban, and island communities and has experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds, valuing how culture shapes life experience. Anthony also has professional experience with active duty military personnel and veterans.

His current practice centers on treating mood and anxiety problems, post-traumatic stress, post-acute recovery from substance dependence, people with histories of family disruption and codependency, and highly conflicted relationships with or without intimate partner violence. He is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania; his professional credential is LCSW and his license designation is CW021207.

Anthony takes a person-centered, non-judgmental approach and holds a strong belief in each individual’s capacity to find solutions. He emphasizes freedom of choice and personal accountability while working collaboratively with clients to identify goals, examine choices that move them forward, and build the skills and knowledge needed for success. He views life’s discomforts as part of a larger learning process and sees the difficulties people bring to therapy as opportunities for developing a more fulfilling and rewarding life.
