A glimpse into my own journey on why I'm deeply committed to guiding others through the therapeutic process.
About Me
Hi, I’m Fabio.
Who I Am
I am a psychotherapist, dad, husband, and a passionate learner about the human mind, dedicated to helping men find strength and well-being in their emotional and sexual lives. I work with compulsive sexual behaviors, problematic porn use, infidelity, and emotional difficulties that affect intimacy and relationships.
My Journey to Becoming a Psychotherapist
Born and raised in a working-class, immigrant family from Southern Italy, I was always fascinated by the complexities of the human mind. My love for psychology and mythology opened doors to understanding deep human emotions and experiences.
Life wasn't easy. Adolescence threw me into a whirlwind of questions about my purpose and where I belonged. Heartbreak and personal traumas took a deep personal toll.
At 19, I moved to the United States, looking for a fresh start. But my struggles didn't just disappear. It took dedication to psychotherapy and self-discovery to find a way out of the darkness. I was able to gain crucial emotional insights and tools that have made me much stronger and more self-aware.
My own therapy process has deeply influenced my career, leading me to focus on Men's Emotional and Sexual Wellness. These experiences have not only transformed my life but also form the foundation of my work as a therapist.
Why Work With Me?
My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck. I combine emotional work with practical tools for changing behavior and improving relationships.

My training includes three years of postgraduate ISTDP core training, experiential dynamic therapy, and Brainspotting. I have worked with men individually and in groups, including men struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
As an immigrant myself, I possess a deep understanding of the obstacles faced when adapting to unfamiliar surroundings and navigating through difficult experiences. It is my true passion to assist clients in overcoming shame and guilt while guiding them towards live deeply fulfilling lives. Through my empathic, experiential, and supportive approach, clients are provided the necessary tools to explore past traumas, paving the way for a positive present and future. I ardently believe that everyone possesses the capacity to emerge from their struggles equipped with newfound strength and wisdom.
