Antonia Zeccardi

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor who earned my Master's degree from Long Island University in 2014. I spent many years working with individuals, couples, and families in a private practice setting where my goal was and continues to be helping clients cope with various difficulties they face in their everyday lives. I have experience working with adolescents and early-adults facing symptoms of depression and anxiety, individuals attempting to navigate life's ups and downs, and those who have experienced trauma.

I am a firm believer in the CBT process, the goal is for clients to realize that changing one’s ideas or cognitions about events can change negative responses into positive ones. Helping clients help themselves, by teaching the specific coping skills that are best suited for the individual client in an environment where they feel safe and secure is my goal.

I have taken what I have learned through working with my clients as well as my own personal experiences & qualities as a person to become a well-rounded and integrated counselor. I aspire to be a counselor that my clients want to speak with no matter the situation, and hope to continue to use my experiences as the backbone of my personal counseling style.
