About me
I have a passionate commitment to provide each couple with the approach and strategies that will best facilitate their desired goals, prioritizing expeditious control/management of unhealthy conflict. A major reason psychological pain is prolonged is because its causes remain elusive to the sufferer. Relief occurs as we discover and address their causes. Often, this only occurs in a special relationship where we feel comfortable discussing sensitive, confusing and painful issues. If efforts toward relief fail without this special relationship, as they typically do, each disappointment expands a threatening belief that we are beyond help. I lived with this threatening belief into midlife, until finding my special relationship with an extraordinary therapist. This experience played a critical role in my becoming a therapist to discover my vocational passion and satisfying, healthy relationships.
In my years as a therapist, I have been honored to partner with a wide diversity of clients and couples, facilitate their progress and witness so many of their life-affirming changes. I listen with compassion and a professional curiosity to sympathetically understand each partner's perspective. I place the highest importance on maintaining privacy and being free of moral judgment. I nourish hope, facilitate the couple's discovering their unique path out of pain and conflict, where each partner's greater wholeness catalyzes their path toward the relationship they most authentically want.
While having a psychodynamic orientation, I utilize many cognitive-behavioral strategies within a person-centered framework that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. I have specific knowledge, experience and developed skills working with couples where there are recent mothers, adolescent and teen males, gender specific issues, LGBTQ couples .and middle-aged men.
While successful in facilitating positive change in relationships where one or both partners suffer a wide range of mental health problems, I have specialized training and experience treating couples with trauma, depression, mood, personality, substance-abuse, and co-occurring disorders.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We're very pleased
Anton was extremely helpful and helping to figure out a pattern in our over 10 year relationship. He helped us to practice taking turns and all the basic things you think you should know by the time you’re an adult but once you create a pattern of communication it’s very difficult to reset that he was resourceful and helpful and finding ways for us to practice that and to communicate.
Finding the right therapist for you makes all the difference in treatment. Anton has been receptive, accommodating, and effective as a therapist. We are happy to have found a good match for us and look forward to the progress we will make in the future. ☺️
