David L. Pezzullo

LMHC, Mental Health Counselor

When you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life’s challenges, finding the right support can feel like a heavy task. But reaching out is a powerful move toward finding balance again.

My name is David L. Pezzullo, LMHC, Mental Health Counselor, and I work with clients from all walks of life who are navigating mental health and life challenges. We can explore what works for you. My clinical background draws from mindfulness, neuroscience, emotional processing, and behavior modification, supplemented by professional experience in international development that highlighted the true power of emotional intelligence and adaptability. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from FGCU.

It can often feel like we are trapped inside our own thoughts, but there is always a way through. I offer an open, non-judgmental space to help you listen to yourself, rediscover your purpose, and heal.
