Anthony Damiani

Anthony Damiani (Tony) is the owner and therapist at Corpus Christi Counseling Center. Tony is a Catholic therapist who has been practicing therapy for twelve years. He holds a Clinical Counseling license through the state of Minnesota. He received his undergraduate degree from St. Cloud State where he studied Psychology and Counseling and earned his Master’s degree in clinical counseling from Bethel University. Tony has been working in the mental health field in various capacities for almost 15 years and has experience working with a broad array of clients ranging from those with autism and special needs to African refugees suffering from traumatic stress. Tony’s counseling philosophy stems from his belief that the client is the expert on their own life, and through a strong therapeutic alliance, his role as a therapist is to help steer, redirect, challenge, and call out negative beliefs the client is struggling with. Additionally, he wants to help shine light into the darkness of the person’s life. Tony believes it is only from a strong therapeutic relationship that a person can truly be themselves and have a shared sense of trust that would allow for that type of effective change to occur. Tony desires to truly understand his clients and the things they are struggling with so he can come alongside them to help them reach their goals. Tony states, “I know that Jesus is the ‘Wonderful Counselor’ (Isaiah 9:6) and that all things are possible through Him. As the body of Christ, Jesus wants what’s best for us, but unfortunately, all of us are broken in some way. I hope that you will grow and be able to overcome the barriers in your life and ultimately see yourself the way God sees you.” Tony feels called to work with male clients ranging from teenagers to adults suffering from challenges including but not limited to anxiety, stress, depression, issues with sexuality, pornography, anger, marriage difficulties, trauma, abuse, substance use, and issues with faith. When Tony is not working at Corpus Christi Counseling Center, he spends time with his wife, raising their seven children. His hobbies include hunting, fishing, BWCA trips, carpentry, gardening, and anything else outdoors.
