“Working with Mike has been a comforting and empowering experience. I have worked with other therapists in the past and felt like I was just venting to a wall. Mike does things differently. He offers insightful feedback and provides exercises/practices that have enabled me to make progress towards less anxiety and more acceptance.”

“Working with Mike I’ve gone from having a panic attack every time I leave the house to confidently taking the subway alone. It’s phenomenal to have my freedom back. Mike is patient, empathetic, and knowledgeable.”

“I can say many great things about my work with Mike. Perhaps the best is that Mike is a compassionate listener. He created an atmosphere that allowed me to say whatever was on my mind without fear.”

“Mike helped me overcome some persistent issues with anxiety. I found a lot of relief in the techniques I learned from Mike. Using combinations of mindfulness meditation, and CBT tricks, I learned some useful and concrete ways to deal with the struggles I have had for years.”

“One thing I liked about working with Mike is that he could provide some neurological context for why I might feel and think the way I do at times. But even further, he was able to explain how the nature of our brains allow for change and growth. This was reassuring for me because feared that I might be “stuck” with anxiety and depression forever. I highly recommend Mike Comparetto as a therapist.”

“As someone who has suffered from difficulties with anxiety and depression largely due to a mental disability, I used to believe that there was very little I could do to improve my overall quality of life. Mike showed me that I actually have more power than I think to take control of my feelings and my thoughts. What makes Mike a particularly capable therapist is his ability to adapt his advice to the circumstances of particular situations. He understands that the techniques that work for some people may not work for others. At the same time, he always seeks to find a compromise between what I am capable of doing at the moment and what I can strive for in the future.”
