Anthony Mastroianni, LCSW

Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with more than 25 years of post-master's clinical experience. His early training took place at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute where he focused on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders, and he subsequently developed specialized skills in family therapy working with highly conflicted couples and individuals who use aggression or violence in relationships.

He brings broad experience in both individual and group psychotherapy, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive-based, and dialectical approaches as well as relaxation and meditative techniques to support greater mindfulness. Having lived and worked in rural, urban, and island communities, he has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and values the role of cultural experience in shaping a person’s life. He also has experience supporting active duty personnel and military veterans.

His current practice concentrates on mood and anxiety concerns, post-traumatic stress, post-acute recovery from substance dependence, family disruption and codependency, and highly conflicted relationships with or without intimate partner violence. He applies a person-centered, non-judgmental stance and emphasizes collaboration. He works with clients to identify goals, explore options that move them toward those goals, and build the knowledge and skills needed for meaningful change.

Mastroianni believes in each person’s capacity to find solutions, in the importance of individual choice in selecting those solutions, and in personal accountability for the outcomes of those choices. He frames life’s difficulties as opportunities for growth and sees the challenges clients bring to therapy as potential gateways to a more fulfilling and rewarding life. He is not accepting clients.
