Izzo Marriage and Family Therapy, P.C.

I am a licensed psychologist from Brazil with more than 15 years of experience in clinical, sports, and school psychology, working with preschool-aged children, adolescents, and adults.

 

I have experience supporting individuals with eating disorders, substance use recovery, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I provide therapy in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, with a special interest in working with immigrants, LGBTQ+ (queer) individuals, couples, and families. My therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also incorporating walk-and-talk therapy and expressive art therapy when appropriate.

 

I also have experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), providing behavioral intervention and parent training for children with autism. I am passionate about understanding human behavior and helping clients build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

​

You’ll often find me planning my next trip in search of authentic local food and cultural experiences rather than crowded tourist attractions. When I’m not traveling, I love cooking, it is my favorite way to relax, recharge, and share meaningful moments with family and friends.

​

​One of my lifelong dreams was to become a pilot. My love for aviation is so strong that I still enjoy arriving at the airport hours before my flight just to watch airplanes take off and land. During the pandemic, I decided to pursue that dream by taking flying lessons and logging more than 50 hours in the cockpit. In the end, I realized I had accomplished exactly what I had always hoped for—and that I was happiest keeping aviation as a passion rather than turning it into a profession.
