My name is Anthony DiMaggio, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Los Angeles, California. I work with individuals statewide and specialize in anxiety, stress, and chronic pain. My therapeutic approach combines mindfulness-based techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
My approach
With my extensive background in mindfulness spanning over 10 years, I integrate mindfulness-based strategies into my practice to help you become more aware of your underlying thoughts and beliefs. By incorporating cognitive behavioral strategies, we can make the necessary adjustments to these thoughts and beliefs, aligning them with your vision and goals. However, I understand that each client is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic style to suit your needs.
My focus
I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, stress, and chronic pain. I find joy in supporting clients who are seeking personal freedom and self-assurance in their lives. I work well with individuals who want to reduce their anxiety, find more peace and purpose, and build resilience. I also have firsthand experience assisting individuals coping with the associated mental distress that often accompanies chronic pain.
My communication style
When we work together, I create a welcoming and supportive environment where your unique perspective is valued. I genuinely care about your progress and am not afraid to challenge counterproductive thoughts and viewpoints that may be hindering your growth. While I provide a nurturing and secure space, I also offer bold and honest insights to help you move forward.
My journey to mental healthcare
My deep compassion for others and innate curiosity about human behavior have always driven my interest in understanding people and supporting them on their path through life. My personal experiences and the challenges I've faced in my own life have fueled my passion for helping others. Supporting your growth and development is a privilege for me.
My goals for you
My objective is to support you in your journey of change and growth. I ask thought-provoking questions and help you reflect on thoughts or beliefs that may be hindering your progress. Together, we'll work towards your goals for your life.
My first session with you
During our initial session, I'll actively listen to your current circumstances and motivations for seeking therapy. Together, we'll gain a sense of where we should focus based on your goals.
