You’re doing your best to hold everything together, but lately it feels like life keeps throwing more at you than you can handle. The stress, anxiety, or self-doubt are starting to take over, and you’re tired of pretending you’re fine when you’re not. You want to break old patterns, feel more balanced, and show up for yourself and the people you care about. Deep down, you know you’re capable of doing better—you just need some guidance, clarity, and tools to help you get there.

Hello, I'm Michael Mazucci-Mambala, originally from Brooklyn, New York. After high school, I joined the United States Air Force and served as a meteorologist until retiring in 2012. Following my military career, I pursued a new path as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), gaining extensive experience in treating substance use disorders and psychological trauma. Are you stuck or lost? Are you struggling with anxiety and fear? Are those intrusive thoughts derailing your days? Feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner(s) can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable, and alone. Whatever your struggle, I am here for you.

I became a therapist to explore why my best friend wanted to hurt themselves. Over the years, I have learned that mental health can be so painful that it feels like there is nothing left. The journey to improved mental health can be scary. With the right support, you can take the first steps and develop coping skills using a collaborative approach with a Rogerian-style therapist who utilizes CBT, DBT, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, among others.
