Dante C. Mercurio uses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to help patients identify and change the unhelpful and distorted thinking and beliefs that are contributing to their emotional distress and problem behaviors. REBT has been shown to be an effective and efficient problem solving therapy for people who are willing to commit to work to change their lives. Dante C. Mercurio has used REBT successfully with his patients for more than 30 years. Together, in a safe and supportive environment, you and Dante C. Mercurio will explore the dysfunctional thinking that is creating your distress. You then work together to change this thinking to create a set of more healthy, flexible, and realistic beliefs about yourself and your life. With this, you are not only feeling better, but also you are now better able to meet life challenges and pursue your life goals. If you are tired of shouldering the burden of your emotional distress and problem behaviors, and your are ready to commit to working to change, Dante C. Mercurio is ready to help you get going to make these changes and to create a happier and more fulfilling life for yourself.

During your first session together, Dante C. Mercurio will obtain a thorough understanding of your concerns and will also obtain your personal history information. He will explain how therapy works and, together, you both will create a treatment plan that establishes treatment goals to address your concerns and help you construct a better life.
