Through our compassionate, quality, and proactive approach, we aim to redefine the scope of mental health care and become a beacon of hope for our community. Our vision is to create a safe haven where every family member feels welcomed, empowered, and guided towards achieving peace of mind and spirit, contributing to a healthier, happier future.

Our Story

Anna Izzo

Anna Izzo, Executive Director

I have always been fascinated by people and by the development of the mind. When I started working toward my degree in psychology, I dreamed of having a family therapy center where every member of a family could find support as individuals and together; a place where they could find clinicians that love working with children and also supporting parents.

​

When the pandemic hit, I realized that it was time to act. So many people were suffering and isolated.  It seemed irresponsible not to extend a helping hand to reach as many as possible. 

​

It is with deep gratitude that I am able to say that today, as Izzo Marriage and Family Therapy, PC serves over 850 clients per week, many families are able to get support from the community we have created.

Mission

To lead the evolution of the mental health experience for children and families. To provide a revolutionary mental heath experience for our members to live in alignment with their whole self.

Vision

To support our clients in transformational change so they can live in alignment of their true self and support clinicians so they can focus on their passion - inspiring that change.

Our Core Values

Izzo’s culture and vision come to life through authentic, committed, and extraordinary people . We want to lead the evolution of the mental health experience for children and families.  Our core values guide everything we do with each other, across teams, and with the people we serve. Together, we take ownership in fostering, protecting, and living out these values every day.

Integrity

We believe in the power of full disclosure. We do what we say we are going to do and follow through. We own our results and acknowledge when mistakes are made. We give others credit where credit is due. We are resilient. Our actions come from a place of gratitude and humility.

Quality

Every day we wake up, we are all in. We relentlessly pursue greatness and know that possibility is bigger than the fear of failure. We give our best with full awareness of self and the impact we have on others. We leave things better than we found them. We act with the intention to sustain the environment for generations to come.

Grace

Grace is at the center of our core values.

We believe if we begin each action, with the intention of using courtesy and goodwill towards each other, it is easier for the rest of the values to fall into place. We are open and sincere. We enter all interactions with courteous goodwill. We bring that same courtesy and goodwill into our encounters, especially when we are unclear or feel challenged. We are in the service of bringing generosity of spirit into all of our actions and relationships. We act with kindness and willingly share with others without expecting anything in return. We honor our needs while acknowledging the needs of others. We celebrate our successes alongside the successes of those around us.

Collaboration

We put people first. We step out of our comfort zone and dare to look beyond what we know. We choose to remain curious when engaging with others. We build trusting relationships and think outside the box. We let go of our ego and live in humility, and while we may disagree, we try on others’ points of view, knowing that we all share one common purpose. We are all one team.

Authenticity

We show up as our true selves. We are genuine in our thoughts, words, and actions. We are honest with ourselves and others. We speak with sincerity and intention. We trust ourselves to be real rather than perfect.

Humor

We believe that humor is a choice. It allows us to lead every interaction with curiosity, understanding, compassion, and grace. We choose to have fun, and it shows up in everything we, as a team, create. When we introduce joy into every interaction and journey, it allows us and our team to succeed. We know mistakes can happen, yet we still strive to find and recognize the little moments of good, joy, and humor. We enjoy what we do, and it shows.

Each core value is essential. They are present in the work we do with each other, from clinicians to admin staff, and in the work we do with the people we serve.

We aim as individuals to foster, preserve, and protect these qualities within our company.
