I also work with men of all ages on questions of masculinity and "manhood".
My style is always rooted in client-centered therapy. This is a deeply reflective approach that includes: Genuineness, Unconditional Positive Regard, and Accurate Empathy. My work and personal experiences have helped me develop a sensitivity to, and a comfort with, the myriad of ways that people express their pain, their questions, and their desires.

I work with a variety of clients, both male, female, and non-binary individuals and couples; ranging from late teens to people facing end-of-life existential issues.
I'm Dr. Tony Greco, a licensed clinical psychologist. I take a humanistic approach to treating a variety of mental health conditions that often overlap with one another including trauma, addiction, gender and sexuality, anxiety and depression, and existential issues. I draw on both personal lived experience and the latest clinical research. Beginning with a humanistic approach means meeting the client where they are at, and then conceptualizing the approach with a combination of humanistic and positive psychology, systems theory, and recovery-oriented systems of care.

I work with clients who are struggling with depression, feelings of hopelessness, and the overwhelm that comes from life’s many stresses. I also support those who feel anxious about how others perceive them. In addition, I have a passion for providing geriatric mental health care, helping older adults navigate challenges related to aging, parent-child relationships, and exploring perspectives on death and dying. I also work with clients who experience delusional thoughts that interfere with their cognitive functioning and daily life, as long as these thoughts do not involve homicidal ideations or tendencies to harm others.

Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t the right fit? You don’t need to leave your family or job to find effective help. Addiction feels overwhelming: repeating destructive patterns despite the pain, battling fear, anxiety, and shame. You’ve tried to stop, but setbacks leave you feeling stuck. Breaking free alone can feel impossible, but you don’t have to do it alone. With counseling tailored to your needs, you can take control, build healthier coping skills, and create lasting change—on your terms. Let’s start your recovery together.

If life were simple, there would be less need for confessional booths, principals' offices and psychotherapy. Things happen along the way, get set aside, accumulate and catch up. Some "stuff" gets passed from one generation to the next. Many people delay indefinitely effectively dealing with difficulties, pass them on to others or deny they exist entirely. When you are ready to sort through such matters give me a call. I am curious, patient and enjoy helping others move forward. I share observations and clarify situations while clients work to increase enjoyment of life. It might be easier than you think.

There is an old saying that in the course of every human life, one encounters 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows. Whether we consider ourselves young, old, rich, poor, famous or not, we all are equal in our fundamental experiences: no matter who we are, we experience birth and death, love and heartbreak, joy and despair. I see my role as a therapist as helping my fellow humans deal with the inevitable losses that come with living, be it loss of an identity, loss of self-worth, loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, loss of joy. Even just the thought of future loss can be painful, leading to persistent anxiety and worry.

Therapy shouldn't have to be complicated - it's really about sitting down and talking with another person. What is most crucial - perhaps even more important than credentials and education - is that you feel comfortable with your therapist; otherwise, the therapy won't work.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (in Texas and California) as well as a certified alcohol and drug counselor. I have been in practice since 1994 and work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.

Are you or loved ones facing challenges you want to work through in safety and confidence? Reacting to life events with worry or sadness? Ready for a new beginning? For better or worse, our experience is shaped by expectations and habits that are maintained by loyalty to important relationships, and by cycles of confirming experience. They affect our happiness, our relationships and the success of our endeavors. Therapy can help. In a safe empathic relationship, unhelpful expectations and habits can be retired, and happier habits of relating to life and others can be learned, chosen and implemented.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
