John Rizzi, Ph.D., LCSW

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve helped individuals navigate life transitions, cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and identity struggles, build resilience, and thrive.

It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy. Just taking the first step to begin to find a therapist can feel overwhelming. As you are reading this, you have already taken that important first step. Successful therapy is dependent upon building trust and fostering a collaborative relationship. I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals work through difficult transitions in their lives and to cope with a range of problems including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship obstacles, and struggles related to identity. 
I do not support a ‘one size fits all’ model. Each individual is unique, therefore I believe in an individualized approach, determined by what works best for you. I draw from multiple perspectives in therapy including but not limited to: insight-oriented psychodynamic, attachment-based, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, and acceptance & commitment therapy.
While the specific goals of therapy are determined collaboratively, I believe we all have the desire to lead a fulfilled and meaningful life as the best version of ourselves. Our success in this journey will be determined by your openness toward self-exploration and your trust that I am the right therapist for you. Contact me to begin this journey.
