Anthony Fulco

Maybe a distressing thought arrives: you question it, but it argues back anyway. So you have another drink, reassure yourself, self-criticize, or quietly shape your day around keeping your feelings buried. That loop isn’t a character flaw and it isn’t permanent. I’m Anthony. I've spent years treating mental health and substance use, side by side in intensive outpatient settings. I've learned that addiction, anxiety and depression often grow from the same void. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, trauma and depressive feelings—including gay and bisexual men who are used to telling everyone that they are "just fine".

I am Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C-DBT). I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), within the scope of my practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I started my professional journey in 2010. As such, I always encourage people to remember that they have options and choices. You are never trapped, and you are never broken. It's part of the human experience to experience struggle, turbulence, and hardship. We can start by making difficult feelings more manageable, by using practical skill sets, pattern recognition and conscious awareness. From there, we will gently turn to what is underneath your feelings, at a pace that feels appropriate, so that avoidance no longer runs the show. I’m warm, direct, and honest, offering thoughtful reflections rather than automatic agreement.

Our first session is a nonjudgmental space for you to feel welcomed and begin telling your story at your own pace. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what life has felt like lately, and what you hope will feel different. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll start right where you are. If you’re ready, let’s take that first step together.
