ABOUT MENTAL WEALTH PRACTICE
Therapy should feel like something you can actually use
Mental Wealth Practice was built around a simple idea: therapy can feel comfortable and conversational while still being thoughtful, challenging, and purposeful. The goal is not just to talk about what’s happening, but to help you understand it, work through it, and make changes that carry into your life outside of sessions.
Why Mental Wealth Practice exists
Therapy can be incredibly valuable, but it does not always feel accessible, natural, or useful to the people who could benefit from it. Mental Wealth Practice was created to offer something more grounded: a place where conversations can feel real, where the work has direction, and where clients do not have to fit themselves into a particular idea of what therapy is supposed to look like. The goal is to meet people where they are, understand what matters to them, and help create changes that make sense in the context of their actual lives.
What that looks like in practice
OUR APPROACH
The approach at Mental Wealth Practice is built around three things we believe good therapy should make possible.
Therapy should feel like a place where you can speak honestly without worrying about saying things the “right” way. The conversation can be relaxed and natural while still making room for difficult, important work.
Comfortable enough to feel real
Therapy should help you make sense of the patterns, reactions, and dynamics that are easy to miss when you’re in the middle of them. That means looking beyond the obvious, asking the right questions, and sometimes challenging the way you’ve come to understand a situation.
Clear enough to see what’s really happening
Insight is only useful if it can translate into real life. The work should help you make decisions, communicate differently, respond more intentionally, and create changes that continue after the session ends.
Practical enough to matter outside of session
MEET THE FOUNDER
Built with intention from the start
I’m Frankie Grixti, the founder of Mental Wealth Practice. I’m both a licensed mental health counselor and a professional firefighter—two careers that have given me very different windows into how people handle stress, relationships, responsibility, uncertainty, and change.
As a counselor, I’ve spent years helping people make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface of their lives. The fire service has shown me another side of people: how much can be carried quietly, how differently people respond under pressure, and how important trust, humor, directness, and connection can be when things get difficult.
Mental Wealth Practice grew out of both perspectives. I wanted to build a practice that takes the work seriously without making therapy feel stiff or impersonal. It is designed to recognize that there is no single personality, communication style, or approach that works for everyone.
Today, my role extends beyond my own clinical work. I’m building Mental Wealth Practice around clinicians who bring their own strengths to the room while sharing a commitment to care that people can genuinely connect with.
Frankie Grixti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and has worked in private practice since 2018. His clinical work has included adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional regulation, and other challenges that can affect everyday life.
Alongside his clinical work, Frankie serves as a professional firefighter. That experience has helped shape the development of Frontline Off Duty and the practice’s broader understanding of people working in demanding, high-pressure environments.
Experience that informs the work
A growing team with the same approach to care
LOOKING AHEAD
As Mental Wealth Practice grows, every clinician who joins the practice will be selected and trained with the same philosophy in mind: therapy should feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely engaging while still having direction and purpose. Each therapist will bring their own personality, experience, and clinical strengths, but clients can expect to recognize the same Mental Wealth Practice approach—real conversation, thoughtful perspective, and care that adapts to the person rather than expecting the person to adapt to therapy. Clinicians working with first responders will also receive dedicated training in first responder culture, occupational stress, and the realities that can come with the work. The goal is for clients to feel understood from the beginning, regardless of which clinician they work with.
