In the 2010s, the television landscape was saturated with series focused on wives, one of which was “Mob Wives,” following Italian women married to men involved in mob-related crimes.
The show featured Drita D’Avanzo, Carla Facciolo, Karen Gravano, and Renee Graziano, offering a glimpse into their tumultuous lives, friendships, and marriages.
“A producer reached out to me,” therapist Kelly Gorsky told Fox News Digital. “They asked if I could handle treating a difficult individual on a TV show.”
Renee Graziano is the daughter of Bonanno crime family consigliere Anthony Graziano and starred as a main protagonist on the television show “Mob Wives.”
Gorsky had been treating clients in her private practice since 2007 and recorded counseling sessions with Graziano for Season One of “Mob Wives.”
Season One depicted Graziano’s struggles as her former husband was revealed to be an FBI informant who snitched on her father, leading to emotional sessions with Gorsky.
The show ran for six seasons, ending shortly after cast member Angela Raiola’s death, known as “Big Ang.”
Graziano was treated by Kelly Gorsky, a specialist in therapy, psychology, and anger management, during Season One of “Mob Wives.”
Gorsky authored the book “Anger Management: 101,” providing tools for conflict resolution and emotional regulation.
During Season One of “Mob Wives,” Graziano learned that her former husband “Junior” was an FBI informant who snitched on her father.
Gorsky recommends planning and management of expectations to handle conflicts and emotions effectively.
