“I’ve never had psychotherapy before but I’d been curious after researching it. I found Dr. Mazzella to be open and forthright in an incredibly reliving way. He listens very carefully to the things I say, how I say them and where I need to explore. He lets me speak what’s on my mind and mostly encourages me to continue my thoughts and hypotheses. In each session he will astutely call me back to a pattern he recognised or a behaviour that needed reflection. This leaves me with just enough to think about and process between our sessions for us to debrief the next time. I’m three sessions in and I’m looking forward to the journey!”

Getting to know Dr. Anthony Mazzella
I have been practicing supportive, insight oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for over 15 years. The main premise that guides my work is based on my belief that every problem has a reason and represents an attempt to solve a problem. In other words, as much as one is motivated and interested in changing and growing, oftentimes inner forces resist them. With guidance one becomes aware of the underlying sources of his or her difficulties. Inner awareness provides more relief from life's struggles than one can ever receive from homework assignments, suggestions or advice from friends or professionals.
My psychoanalytic education and my practical experience have led to my clinical approach which is grounded in the belief that therapy is a partnership. Because psychoanalysis is a comprehensive theory of human mental functioning, I work with a wide spectrum of emotional difficulties from brief crises in life to more ingrained longstanding problems such as self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, identity disturbances and struggles with intimacy.
In addition to the work I do in my private practice I am also a training and supervising therapist and I am very involved in the analytic community. I sit on various boards, conduct research and teach three courses on clinical practice. I have presented over twenty papers to thousands of health care professionals and my research has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

As a skeptic, I didn't know what to expect and Dr. Mazzella quickly put me at ease. He made me feel very comfortable. We discussed what I wanted to achieved from therapy and what could possibly be our game plan. I like how he was very straightforward. After my first session, I felt great and looking forward to our next appointment.

I've only had one intake session with Anthony but I already think he's awesome. I showed up a little early and he was ready to talk to me right away. He has a very calm, approachable manner which made me feel totally at ease with him. He's also a really good listener and was able to clearly recall details I had told him with total preciseness. Even though we've only had one intake session he's already been very proactive about creating a treatment plan for my specific set of issues and my schedule. Needless to say I'm looking forward to continuing treatment with him.

I had an opportunity to visit with Dr. Mazzella and he was very insightful. He was patient, compassionate, and I felt very comfortable sharing my thoughts with him.

Dr. Mazzella engaged me in a way to made me feel completely at ease. What I appreciated most was the feeling I got from Dr. Mazzella, a feeling that he deeply cares. Early in the treatment I had a crisis that left me feeling flooded and overwhelmed with painful feelings. I called him and he was immediately responsive, found me an extra appointment that evening, and showed me that I could rely on him in times of need. I would not consider another therapist and have been with him now for 2 years.

I never tried therapy before because I was not a big believer. My wife talked me into this but after having met with Dr. Mazzella 3x I can see how it is going to be valuable. He had a consultation with me and did not try to convince me to return, that is what I respected most. I plan to continue with him and work on what we identified together as areas where I can improve.

When I first started working with Dr. Mazzella I was very anxious but his gentle way immediately made me feel comfortable. I have been seeing Dr. Mazzella for only four months and I am already beginning to feel better, a feeling I have not experienced since childhood! The best way for me to describe why I appreciate working with him, why it is worth my time and money, is he helped me understand that what I thought was making me anxious and stressed was not the entire story. Now that I am beginning to understand the ‘real’ story behind these feeling, I have noticed that the moments of anxiety are not as high and the bouts of depression are not as low. I already referred one of my colleagues who also has nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Mazzella.

I have been pleased with Dr. Mazzella. Part of the reason I came to see him had to do with conflicts in many of my relationships. I thought it was my boss or my friends but slowly over thime he showed me how, without realizing it, I would create a script of someone judging or being critical of me. Understanding this about myself has truly enriched my relations and has allowed me to have more meaningful relationships. I fully recommend him to you!
