Paul DiFanti, Jr., LMHC is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Boston, Massachusetts.

Therapy for many people can be ambiguous and vague, without a clear purpose and meaning. These same individuals may have misconceptions, and even feel intimidated by the prospect of beginning therapy.

My professional vision or guiding mantra that defines my practice is to aid individuals to foster positive adaptation through improved integration, and unity of self.

As emotional, intellectual, and spiritual beings, people are multifaceted with a complex mosaic of needs, impulses, fears, and personal characteristics. Improved problem solving and successful functioning depend first on identifying just what these are through heightened self-awareness. And then learning how they all come together, integrate and represent who the individual is as a whole person.
