About me
I have a passionate commitment to provide each client with the approach and strategies that will best ensure they acquire their desired goals, prioritizing expeditious relief from unwanted symptoms. 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.
In my years as a therapist, I have been honored to partner with a wide diversity of clients, facilitate their progress and witness so many of their life-affirming changes. I listen with compassion and a professional curiosity to sympathetically understand from the client's perspective. I place the highest importance on maintaining privacy and being free of moral judgment. I nourish hope, facilitate the client's discovering their unique path out of pain and into greater wholeness, for control over symptoms and toward the life 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 men, adolescent and teen males, recent mothers, mother's with adolescent boys, and with transgendered clients.
While successful in treating a wide range of mental health problems in adults and adolescents, I have specialized training and experience treating individuals with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood, personality, substance-abuse, and co-occurring disorders and with the male population adolescent age and older.

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 Teen Counseling might be different.
Anton is my son's therapist. He has only have two sessions but each time, my son appeared more relax and reflective after speaking with him. I can only imagine the impact he will have in my son's journey.
Great communicator. Checks on me and calls things as they are
He is a good listener, nonjudgmental, sincere, and offers good advice
A knowledgeable and innovative therapist with an empathetic and kind demeanour.
Antonio is a great listener. He doesn't mind talking with you to make you feel heard. This helps with warming up to him. He is great at providing feedback and possible avenues you can take. He is a more laid back therapist, but he can get serious when he needs to.
Great listener but also proactive and solution-oriented. Love his mixture of approaches and breadth of expertise. Anton will not waste your time by just listening you talk--it's very much a conversation where I am gently but expertly challenged on the beliefs and habits of mind I need to change. He also gives me great homework between sessions. Perfect for me.
Anton is attentive, patient, and willing to listen to the patient.
Anton has been great over through the time I have been meeting with him. He has really taken the time to get to know me, my issues, and how I truly feel about my circumstances. I have never had a therapist that has been so easy to open up to. I feel like I can be completely honest with Anton with no judgement. He has been willing to share his experiences to help me through mine. I would highly recommend Anton to anyone looking for a great support system!
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. ☺️
Very insightful and helps one see certain obstacles in different lights to assist with coping.
