Michael Mondoro, LCSW

Michael is a licensed therapist based in New York City and Westport, Connecticut. He is a Certified AEDP Therapist, a Certified AEDP Supervisor, an Intra-Relational AEDP enthusiast, a trauma and dissociation specialist, and an active member of the AEDP community since 2012. AEDP is one of his great loves. Michael feels privileged to be a part of the AEDP community and to mentor others to discover and deepen their therapeutic presence, courage, confidence and agency as they express their own AEDP style within the model. He offers psychotherapy as well as clinical consultation in New York and Connecticut, and online for those interested in expanding their knowledge and effectiveness utilizing AEDP across the post-traumatic spectrum.

Michael specializes in helping individuals who have experienced relational trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD to securely connect, heal, transform, and flourish. He brings warmth, authenticity, humor, and deep care to those he mentors. Michael is committed to serving the LGBTQIA+ community, as well.

Michael is trained in complementary models of thought and therapy that inform and enrich the somatic, mindful, and experiential nature of his AEDP practice: Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Soto Zen Buddhism, Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. He is tremendously grateful for the mentorship and supervision of Benjamin Lipton, Kari Gleiser, and Jeanne Newhouse, along with the teachings of Diana Fosha, Natasha Prenn, Eileen Russell, and Jerry Lamagna. Prior to entering private practice, Michael trained as a clinical social worker at New York University and held staff psychotherapist and supervisory roles in outpatient community mental health in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
