About Dr. Mazzella

Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst

As a leader and expert in the field, Dr. Mazzella holds various clinical positions, including, but not limited to, treating patients in his private practice, training professionals at two post-graduate training institutes, conducting research, and lecturing across the country. While his focus with his patients is psychodynamic in nature, his main goals are to build a trusting relationship and help each patient reduce the frequency and intensity of their emotional painful thoughts and suffering. He helps his patients overcome both acute and long-standing problems that may be more imbedded in their personality.

My Story

Embarking on my graduate studies at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Services set the stage for a transformative academic journey. During this period, I pursued a dual concentration in Research and Clinical Social Work, laying the foundation for a career that seamlessly blends analytical rigor with hands-on, empathetic approaches. This diverse education not only equipped me with a robust understanding of the field but also ignited a passion for making a tangible impact in the lives of individuals and communities.

Subsequently, my educational odyssey continued as I delved into psychoanalysis at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR), seeking the highest level of intellectual enrichment. This immersive experience not only broadened my perspective but also provided a nuanced understanding of the human psyche, enriching my ability to navigate the complexities of practice.

Armed with this comprehensive education, I pursued the highest level of academic achievement with a Ph.D., deepening my clinical, teaching, and research skills. Today, each chapter of my educational narrative converges to shape a holistic and impactful approach, resonating with a commitment to continual learning and compassionate practice.
