Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi

Lawrence “Anton” Feriozzi brings seven years of clinical experience to his work, focused on helping people achieve prompt relief from distressing symptoms and reach their personal goals. He believes that psychological pain often persists because its roots remain hidden to the person who suffers, and that real improvement follows when those causes are identified and addressed.

Anton emphasizes the importance of a therapeutic relationship in which people feel safe talking about sensitive, confusing, or painful material. He speaks from lived experience about how finding the right therapeutic connection altered his own life - an experience that inspired him to become a therapist and pursue this vocation with commitment.

In practice he listens with compassionate curiosity to understand each person’s perspective without moral judgment, while protecting client privacy. He supports hope and helps clients discover individualized paths out of pain toward greater wholeness and more control over symptoms, enabling them to pursue the lives they most authentically want.

His clinical approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, while also drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques within a person-centered framework that places the client-therapist relationship at the center. He has developed specific skills and experience working with groups such as men, adolescent males, recent mothers, mothers with adolescent boys, clients with gender-specific concerns, mature and older adults, gay and lesbian clients, and transgender clients.

Anton has specialized training and experience treating trauma, depression, mood and personality disorders, substance use and co-occurring disorders, and issues commonly faced by men. He is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, holding license number MH20304.

Throughout his career he has partnered with a wide diversity of clients, facilitating progress and witnessing meaningful life-affirming change. He prioritizes approaches and strategies tailored to each person, aiming to produce effective relief and durable improvements in well-being.
