Mike Cardella AMFT
Clinician
Life can sometimes feel like it’s closing in when you’re caught in patterns of rigid thinking—when you believe that things can’t ever change, that you’re not capable, or that the world is unforgiving and unsafe. These kinds of beliefs can fuel a cycle of anxiety, depression, and isolation, making it hard to feel at ease with yourself or engage fully with others.
In my work with adults who feel trapped in these recurring thought patterns, I focus on understanding the underlying fears and assumptions that keep these beliefs in place. I look at how these entrenched views influence not only how you see yourself, but also how you navigate relationships, work, and day-to-day life.
This is a collaborative and reflective process. In a safe, open setting, we focus on developing insight and practical skills to cope with distress, shift perspective, and ultimately create a healthier relationship with your own mind and emotions.

“It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth. Thinking in mythological terms helps to put you in accord with the inevitables of this vale of tears.”
