My Story
My name is Michael Pezzullo
My own journey through mental health began dramatically when I entered a residential treatment center, initially doubting that therapy could make a difference. However, after finding the right therapist who truly understood me and provided clear, direct guidance, I experienced the profound impact of genuine therapeutic connection. This taught me that therapy needs to be strategic, consistent, and sincere.
​
With years of specialized clinical training focused on the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve developed a therapeutic approach that combines EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment theory to address issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. My goal is to help you move beyond mere survival and towards a thriving, fulfilling life. Let’s work together to create a clear, actionable strategy for achieving your goals. To get started, contact me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
​
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Media and Communication from New York University. I operate a private practice in West Hollywood, CA.
