The Sopranos: The Real Reason Tony Chose a Female Psychiatrist

Understanding Tony's Choice

Tony is not the kind of guy to pour his heart and soul out to a man. His ego won't allow him to feel emasculated in front of another man. If there are two men in the room, Tony must be the stronger alpha male. He doesn't want to feel less than any other man.

In Tony's view, Gary Cooper doesn't go sniveling about his problems to another man. Melfi believes that Tony speaking to her is like coming clean to his mother and resolving his issues with women in his life. That is part of it.

The Dynamics with Dr. Melfi

He often gets great advice for running his mob crew directly from Melfi. Tony feels nurtured by Melfi, and he's also very attracted to her. Tony enjoys the back-and-forth low-key flirting and hidden attraction between them. All these things add up to a great reason why Tony sees Dr. Melfi.
